yeah, it should be in all caps!


HAL PHILLIPS, can you tell us a little about the Grant Morrison DVD you got ahold of? Apparently it contains a lot of interview with Morrison about the Invisibles, and his opinion of it changed after 9/11.

I bought and watched Talking with Gods. It wasn't as mind-blowing or fascinating as I had hoped, or as the name implies, but still interesting for someone wanting to know basically a biography of Morrison, how he got into comics and that.

SO,  I finally got the whole series and read it.

And it was crap.

It's fun if you're willing to go along with some of the silly and do a little of the extracurricular reading (the "everyone in a white suit is an outsider playing The Invisibles" theory is a particularly good one). I can see why it didn't do much for you, though. Morrison never sticks the landing.

It was the ending.  It was gibberish and made me want to punch a nun.  Seriously.  Morrison ALWAYS does this.  He gets high and gets a good idea, but then he STAYS high and writes it.

Wow only a six year old thread.

He doesn't get high any more though as far as I know, well not in the creative process.

He really could have cut it after the end of the royals arc when Jack and Fanny went off to start their new cabal. Still would have been a lot of dangling ends, but they wouldn't have been as obnoxious as his 2012 stuff.

I enjoyed it right up to that final issue, I hated the ending, but thats still a decades worth of story that was decent.
His endings are very inconsistent, I find with the shorter series like All Star Superman and the filth they tend to be better.

I really enjoyed the middle of the story, especially the life of a mook.  He did the same thing with Kid Eternity and Flex Mentallo, but both were so good otherwise that I didn't really get bothered by it.
