Morrisson has some balls. He’s not kidding when he says he puts all his ideas out there. There are enough ideas in this book to fill 3 or 4 titles and you’d think jamming them all into 1 story would be a disaster and yet it works. Batman muttering “Superman, Superman”? THat’s a line that only Morrison could pull off that well. SO much there in those two words. I’m starting to realize that Morrisson was the missing piece from COuntdown, the big idea guy that made 52 so ridiculously fun to watch. Like a stunt show where it seems certain that something is going to go horribly wrong because it’s al too outlandish to work, but Morrison has pulled it off before, and I’m starting to believe he’ll do it again.

Oh, and J.G. Jones. Is there any reason for me to say anything here? It is brilliant work, beautiful work, that makes a fairly dense storyline accessible and fun and interesting. The Japanese heroes were awesome.
