Did Morrison even credit that one Doom Patrol story which was a straight up rip off of Borges?

Obviously those of us who prefer Final Crisis are gentle-people of renown and taste, with no flaws. As it went unmentioned, as did Seaguy, so I am doubly safe.

As someone that ha never read it or even heard any kind of opinion on it my takeaway from that tweet is that Seaguy is without a doubt the worst Morrison book.

I read Wonder Woman/Conan. It's good, but somewhat frustrating. At the start, Wonder Woman has lost her memories and powers. And she looks exactly like an Amazon princess Conan knew as a child. So she just slots right into the Hyborian Age. There's no fish-out-of-water or culture clash stuff, the stuff you'd expect from a Wonder Woman meets Conan story. It's just a Conan story. A good Conan story, but still. When Wonder Woman's memories start coming back she gets more Wonder Womany, some more Amazons show up, and it's awesome, it becomes what I wanted/expected from the beginning. But by that point there's only a couple issues left. The art by Matt Ryan is good, that dude draws good beefcake of both genders. Overall I really did enjoy it but you should go in knowing it's much more Conany than Wonder Womany

Does Arkham Asylum have one? That's what I always associated Morrison with before he wrote everything else he did.

Arkham Asylum seems like such an easy dunk on someone’s weirdness. Morrison’s Green Lantern is really good though.

I hate to live up to my avatar but these seem like a lot of more or less arbitrary dunks on a lot of stories that are good if often pretty flawed? I suppose a lot of bro-y guys like Grant Morrison, and Grant Morrison's work has had some dubious blunders in representation, but this all seems like a pretty wayward path towards a full-throated critique. I guess the obvious counter is that it's a joke, but I don't know, not many of these seemed spot-on enough for me to laugh. There wasn't really any shock of recognition, probably because so many of these seem to interpellate the reader as a straight guy?

That was also my impression of them, they are very broad and you could probably mix and match like half them and the joke would be the same either way. Also i guess only dudes like Grant Morrison?

They're obviously flawed because I don't play any music at parties and am too old to remember doing any book reports of any kind.

I think I'm really disconnected from the average comics fans, because all the Grant Morrison fans I know are artsy trans women that love Doom Patrol, Flex Mentallo, and All-Star Superman.

Yeah me too. In high-school and college he was the mainstream comics writer most likely to come up in conversation in queer spaces (well, in high-school maybe it was Neil Gaiman, but I never got into him and would sort of zone out during those conversations), I suppose he probably has his fair share of snide guy followers but I've generally apparently been able to avoid them.

Can you guys help me identify a webcomic I read ages ago? All I can remember is an aside about sports gear. There was this shoulder and arm guard thing thing that was advertised for "you drat well know what". Which was referring to an underground sport that was legally considered a form of assault, so they couldn't mention the name in advertising. As I said, this was an aside, not part of the actual plot of the comic, of which I remember nothing.

The final issue of Wizard magazine feature Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan and declared him "TOP SPACE COP" and I can't think of a more fitting way to go out.

I'm sure if I went back and looked at old Inquests I'd feel the same way people feel about Wizard, but I loved that magazine at the time. I think Toyfare might still hold up, or at least, the Twisted Toyfare Theaters maybe? I could be wrong though, it's been a long time.

I sometimes feel a pang of guilt for throwing our the dozen or so Wizard magazines I had. Sure the journalism sucked, and it was basically a listicle given magazine form but I would be lying if I say I didn't use to read and reread them cover to cover.
