There is no other book like this out there. For the first time I can remember, I’m reading Superman stories that don’t feel like every other Superman story I’ve ever read. Writer Grant Morrison has discovered how to take classic Superman tales from the distant past and throw them into our future. This book is filled with a sense of wonder, and Frank Quitely and Jamie Grant’s artwork fills me with a sense of wonder. This comic is a beautiful object, both to behold and to read. You should be reading it.

I just finished The Filth. Amazing.
Grant Morrison is certainly one of the few contemporary legends of comic book writing.
I just don’t get why we put up with some of the crap writers when there’re talents like Morrison floating around. I think the monthly floppy industry survives only on addiction, sentiment, and stupidity.
I read thousands of floppies and dozens of series every year and I haven’t even scratched the surface of amazing comic book work out there.
I hope one day people wake up to that and start exposing themselves to all the awesomeness going on in comic books.
Have you ever read Morrison’s Doom Patrol? One of my personal favorites.
I’d been debating whether to get it or not but my LCS doesn’t have volume 1 so I keep putting it off.
Instead I picked up “Shade the Changing Man” volume 1 TPB and “The Black Dossier.”
I might have some free time coming up soon and I have lots of stuff Morrison’s done for Vertigo that I haven’t had a chance to read yet like “Seaguy” and “Vimanarama”
