WTF Morrison?!?

So instead of drawing stuff they had pages with description of what they were wearing, doing etc? Don't seem like you get more for your money that way.

By the scans I saw one the link those can hardly be called pictures.

first I don't see them really explaining what people are wearing. second it is extremely detailed. You can get more out of discriptive writing then simply pictures some times. since you can fully understand the writer point of few better

I find it to be better and not to mention you do infact get more for your money.

the writters create and write the story. The artist simply draw it. some times they do not do a very good job at fully showing the details that the author wants provided.

So now we see what the author truelly intended for the comic to potray.

but see I enjoy reading........

Batman goes from one extreme to the other from time to time.

I remember one instance when they decided to test the waters and see how people would respond to an entire book with no writing. Just pictures. That went over okay but people complained that there wasn't enough depth to it. Personally I said that it was inventive and a nice break.

Now they do the opposite which is a full story (okay maybe a few pictures) without graphic illustration. I'm impressed and intrigued. Looking forward to reading it, but I won't be interested in anything trite. I'll be more critical of this than anything I've seen from Morrison thus far.

fair enough. I just like the concept. It feels like there putting more effort into the writting and lettign the reader full understand the authors purpose of the comic and how he personally views the story.

I have not read the whole thing personally yet, but I intend to, because it seems to be well thought out and in depth.

A few Crossgen issues were written like that as well.
I liked those issues as well.
Particularly the one near the end of Scion written from the perspective of the escaped slave.

Crossgen was one of the best things ever in comics. I wish it was still going.

Who was your favorite guy and your favorite comic?

Same here. I lvoed those comics and the all the different worlds they had.

My favorite outside of that, as a single title, would probably Scion or Sojourn.

Me picking Sojourn or Scion would probably be a given, since I already identified myself as a former D&D nerd.

Obviously my favorite stuff was all the cosmic stuff they had going and how well it all meshed together, like Crux, First Sigil, Negation, Solus, Mark of Charon...

I also like the promise that Route 666 showed in its first appearance. Man I wish that crossgen hadn't gone under 🙁

I usually don't read batman, but maybe I should pick this one up?

I read some of the experts... terrible, terrible writing.

If you're going to make a comic book supported solely by the writing, at least--you know--make it good.

I thought it was good

maybe you just don't like good writing 🙄

I'm truly sorry you haven't the maturity level to accept that others are going to have different opinions than you, and the only way you know how to respond to a situation like this is to insult them.

As a side-note, if you think "jazzing like a showgirl delivering a donkey onstage” is an example of good writing, I'd suggest expanding your reading beyond that of comic books. 😉

Has Andy Kubert already fled from BATMAN, because he can't work with that crazy nutter from Glasgow? (And Morrison is just one of many... 😛 )

The latest issue kicked ass 😄

Morrison has redeemed himself with the latest Batman

In fact one scene on its own is worth buying the issue

Hint: Batman learns capes can be a weakness 😆

I STILL don't understand the argument. That is a totally valid way of writing a comic, it's been done in nearly every major superhero comic out there at least once or twice. I realize it's very different if you're used to people like BMB's comics where there are 40 words and bunches of neat art, but after a while don't you feel a bit cheated when you've spent 40 bucks on comics that could have been done in 3 issues?

I do.

I like both styles, but if it's something like D&D, Still Life or other "deep" type stories, it'd have to be written in the more wordy style because there's so much shit to cover, but in, say...a Hulk comic, that style wouldn't work at all.

Because if Morrison wanted to write it this way he should have gone and written a book

But, its not a book, its a COMIC

Comics are about the contrast of art and story, not story with a few crappy images in it
