DC is a buisness first and the caretaker of your precious comic book memories a distant third, fourth or fifth. I think them creating new material for what is one of their best-selling properties is pretty much a license to print money.

I hold Morrison's Animal Man in the same reguard as Watchmen and his initial run of it isn't diminished by the less than stellar runs that followed it.

It's a damn shame that this book isn't grabbing everyone's attention. It's in my top five books right now and the past few issues have just been amazing. I'm honestly somewhat shocked that it hasn't been a potw since #40.

Great issue. One of those no turning back moments that were all over the ending of Y.

It's not just Bendis, Johns and Morrison that reuse concepts. I seriously can't think of writer that doesn't use the same themes and concepts over and over again. Morrison, Pynchon, Burroughs, Milligan, Moore & Joyce... you get the point. That's not a critism I take seriously because that's what every writer does and that's how i think it should. It's up to you to decide if you enjoy it or if you think that the writer handled it well. 

There's a part of me that finds it really funny that Morrison's being criticized for reusing themes and concepts on a board that's mostly about Superhero comics.

@peterporker - Honestly, I just don't know what to say to that. I know taste isn't objective by any means, but to say that people calling Morrison a great writer is insulting to, in your opinion, TRUE great writers. I mean, the shear ignorance in that statement blows my mind.

My opinions on Bendis probably aren't dissimilar to yours on Morrison. I know that a lot of people do love his writing and they do think he's a great writer, but I don't find it insulting that they do.

I can't remember a week where i gave out as many fives as i did today. Locke & Key and Batman & Robin are tied for my POTW.

November 13, 2009 6:05 am I LOVED the quotation of Morrison & Quietly's Genosha destruction scenes.
