Grant Morrison -- WE3
Last night I was talking to a friend about the mess that is current Batcanon, and specifically Morrison. We bitched and lamented about the way the guy is bastardizing the characters and ignoring continuity and established characterization when it suits him, even as he goes on about putting everything back into continuity.
Now, this is Morrison's involvement with the Batverse is all I know of him. So I'm VERY unimpressed with him to say the least. My friend pointed out that while Final Crisis and B&R are a cock up, that he has done good things previously. She suggested that I get the Vertigo title WE3. So I did. I would hate anyone to accuse me of being unfair.
Well, DAMN. It was good, and yes, sappy me cried at the end. I would definitely suggest that people read it, but with the warning that for all it's a simple story, it's pretty damn disturbing and not for the gore.
So okay, I will admit it: the man can write. But get him the fuck away from the Batbooks!
