I’m sure this issue pissed a lot of people off! Admittedly I was not
thrilled with it after my first read through, but that was probably
because I had to rush to get to work on time. After a second more
careful reading the issue made sense which is not to say that Morrison
has laid everything out there in this issue in fact he just gives us
more to wonder about, but I’m certainly enjoying the ride and looking
forward to the rest of the story. Already I have been reading Morrison
haters jump all over this issue complaining that it makes absolutely no
sense, and I beg to differ. Of course not everything is explained, but
what fun would a story be especially a six-part epic if we were privy
to all the details by the end of part three. Anybody who has been
following Morrison’s run or even anybody who has read the first two
parts of Batman RIP and knows how to use Wikipedia should not have much
trouble getting through this. Zur-en-Arrh and Robin Dies at Dawn should
not be foreign concepts to people in either of the two categories I
described above. Daniel’s pencils were impressive again especially in
the particularly polarizing last three pages. Another great issue, but
ultimately I suppose its success depends on what happens in the
remaining three to build upon and clarify all the things that have been
introduced thus far.

  1. I disagree strongly with this notion: "Already I have been reading Morrison haters jump all over this issue complaining that it makes absolutely no sense…"

    I have no problems with the ideas presented in the issue. And I’m also a Morrison lover.

    However, this is a crappy comic book, when all is said and done. The storytelling is WAY off, not the concepts.

    Glad you liked it, but you shouldn’t assume that those of us who think it’s crappy are Morrison-haters who like their comic books a certain way.
