Christian 907 Report post Posted July 21, 2017 Yeah, Sam Kieth already sort of did the sequel to Arkham Asylum a few years back....although, I wasn't that impressed by it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christian 907 Report post Posted July 21, 2017 Nope. Arkham Asylum: Madness. It was an OGN. Looking online, it was published in 2011. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christian 907 Report post Posted August 17, 2017 I bet we all forgot about this, as it was such a minor moment in The Invisibles comic book, and lacked meaning until a year ago. It turns out that Grant Morrison is probably responsible for Donald Trump being elected president....heh Trump 16. How bizarre. I mean, not just that a prediction of Trump as president....which was referenced as comedy in both ALF and The Simpsons at some point....but that even the damn year is correct. Creepy. Perhaps we were all conditioned to accept Trump as president through the media across the years, since the 1980s. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christian 907 Report post Posted December 20, 2018 Klaus and the Crying Snowman-This proves to be the best installment of Morrison's Klaus series yet. Morrison finally seems to have found a way to make his concept of Santa work properly. This compares with that trippiest and most drug-fueled of all holiday movies....Rudolph's Shiny New Year.

Lou K 1,133 Report post Posted November 29, 2019 Avatarex - what a fun series. Did it ever get past issue 4 ? Loved the nods to 18 Days in issue 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christian 907 Report post Posted November 29, 2019 No, it ended up being a four issue mini-series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christian 907 Report post Posted December 5, 2019 Green Lantern: Blackstars #2 was an improvement over issue #1, although I still don't see the point for this little diversion from the regular Green Lantern comic. It allowed Morrison to use meta-commentary to satirically mock the present day DC Universe, which was grand. That was what made this issue so good. I wish Morrison would have spent the entire issue doing this. The modern DCU deserves to be ripped apart. His origin story for his space vampire villain character was quite funny, and so that aspect was good too. The supposed actual premise of this Blackstars alternate universe tale is still completely lacking though. It's not fleshed out. I'm not sure why Morrison couldn't have just told a similar story without the need for the (once again) supposedly high concept alternate universe backdrop. That part of the story is losing me, so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christian 907 Report post Posted December 5, 2019 I mean, maybe, but if so, he's been off and on for a while now. Nameless was amazing and one of Morrison's greatest comics, but a lot of other comics from Morrison around that same period just didn't do much for me. Wonder Woman: Year One and Klaus were both disappointing, off the top of my head. Green Lantern has its moments, but other times, it feels like a pretty pedestrian superhero comic. Although, this isn't the first time that has happened to Morrison on a "mainstream" superhero title. His X-Men run was very hit or miss, and I thought it took him a few years on Batman before it was even worth reading. Looking at the state of the comic book industry as 2019 fades in to 2020, I think that maybe the entire industry is losing its touch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christian 907 Report post Posted December 21, 2019 There's a rumour floating around (and right now, it is very much just a rumour) that Marvel wants to bring in Morrison to relaunch the Eternals before the movie. If there is one comic I want to see in 2020, it is Morrison on Eternals. Knowing Marvel though, they'll probably just stick Gerry Duggan or Tini Howard on the book and call it good. Although, Marvel did spend big bucks to get Hickman to return for the X-Men relaunch, so there's always hope. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dogpoet 573 Report post Posted December 21, 2019 Didn't Marvel tell Morrison to fuck off back to DC after they decided it was either Morrison or his former mini me around the turn of the millennium and felt that they'd rather work with Mark Millar instead? Has Morrison done anything at Marvel in the last twenty years? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou K 1,133 Report post Posted December 21, 2019 I’d buy it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christian 907 Report post Posted December 21, 2019 No, but for the right amount of money, I'm sure he would. The people in charge at Marvel when they got rid of Morrison are long gone, and Marvel is now owned by Disney. I don't believe that Ennis wrote anything for Marvel since he finished his run on Punisher MAX, but he showed up this year to write another Punisher mini. There was also talk about Hickman never working for Marvel again after he left, but they came up with the right price to get him to come back for X-Men.

Christian 907 Report post Posted January 30 OK, I can see what Morrison was doing on Green Lantern: Black Stars. Hal Jordan's will is too powerful. It overrides even what was supposed to be the granting of Jordan's wish to recreate the universe in their own image. He was able to realize that the world the two created wasn't what it was supposed to be, and was able to use his willpower to change the plans for that universe. OK, I'll give Morrison credit. That was a pretty clever conceit. It explained away the discrepancies that I saw in the second issue. Still, this seemed like a simple detour, and I'll be glad to see Morrison's run on the regular Green Lantern comic continued next issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
