Grant Morrison: I still don't get it

[Mr. Earle]

Haha I was imagining Morrison doing that to me

It left me feeling unsettled

Spoiler

But excited

Haha!

 

[Tron Bonne]

Knew Way liked his comic books had no idea he knew Morrison

Yeah, Morrison is a big fan of his comic work, too.

 

[The BatDude]

He did the intro for the first Umbrella Academy tpb

 

[Mystirious]

Yeah, Morrison is a big fan of his comic work, too.

I dug the first two tpb's would be neat if Way wrote another series

 

[Watchman]

Way said that he will have more comics coming out next year after all the stuff with the album wraps up. The next Umbrella Academy will be called Hotel Oblivion and focus more on the villains.

 

[Mystirious]

That sounds like sauce he creates villains as weird as Morrisons

 

[Watchman]

 

[Mystirious]

Hahaha Hazel and Cha Cha are fun on a bun

 

[Tron Bonne]

I think at one point he talked about maybe even creating a small superhero universe around UA, too. Though, I kind of doubt that'll ever while MCR still does so well

 

[Assassin]

I only skimmed some of these posts, but I could feel the pain, or better yet the confusion with some of Morrison's work.

I've enjoyed his Batman work for the most part, though I had to read Batman RIP twice to 'get' it, and I still didn't care for the idea, floating around at the time, that Dr. Hurt was the Devil. The idea of Batman beating the Devil, particularly by jumping at him in a helicopter was just dumb. I liked Batman & Son, the Ra's Al Ghul stories, the Black Glove stuff. I think Morrison has a definite knack for creating cool villains, but the demonology stuff didn't work for me.

I also didn't get Final Crisis, or the Batman 'lump' stuff. However, I've stuck with Morrison and I liked Batman & Robin quite a bit and think the idea for Batman, Inc. is a good one.
