Grant Morrison is a fantastic writer.......overrated,but still heads and shoulders......and maybe thighs above most others.
That said,Final Crisis 7 was ass.It was only vaguely amusing when i reread and mentally inserted my own dialogue.
The whole point of Final Crisis was not for everyone to get amused/happy MM, it is a story about Ragnarok you know the end of the world... 😑

But it's fictional. Serious stuff like that can still be entertaining, and it wasn't. Even high-minded art entertains, or at least is beneficial to the reader/viewer/whatever because of some sort of theme, moral, literary device, etc. that is exciting to encounter. And personally, Ragnarok should be a helluva lot cooler in a comic, especially when they had years to plan for it and dozens of tie-ins to work with.

I think he meant that it was bad.....that it only became at the least...amusing when he added his own dialog.....do you really think MM did not know that..lol
And for a ragnarok story it failed miserably also 😉

It wasn't entertaining to you Digi, it was to me and others as anyone who would want to read it would have to know much about DC history to put pieces together. I am taken back by what people really wanted in this it seems they wanted Apokolips to come to Earth and start a war with it, as if the war in the Fourth World wasn't much and Apokolips survived. If that happened Earth would have had 0 chance at winning and they barely won while the New Gods was incredibly weakened... 😕
