Grant Morrison has been a hero for as long as I’ve had heroes, from me and my brother devouring Zenith when it was in 2000 AD, all the way up to reading the first edition of All Star Superman, his greatest work, and the best superhero comic ever written.

… Best of all, it avoids Morrison’s two greatest faults – weak piddle-away endings that don’t match the strength of his opening concepts, and a propensity for being up himself to an extent, well, usually seen only on very specialist websites…

Grant may be my favourite writer (who isn’t also an artist) in the history of comics, and this is one of his most completely satisfying works ever. It tells the story of a boy named Joe going into hypoglycemic shock, and his epic heroic fantasy quest to get to the kitchen for a soda, then to the basement to reset the surge protector, after lightning switched the electricity off.

Grant Morrison is one of those people who would be interesting enough to carry a documentary were you to point a camera at them and let them talk. Which is just as well, because that’s what this documentary basically consists of.

All credit to Grant for the way he has played Batman’s death. Yes, he gave us some ‘he really is dead’ stuff in the wonderful Final Crisis series where Batman and Darkseid kill each other, with Superman carrying the clearly dead body. However, he also ended the series with a clear statement that he isn’t dead, that he is now somehow lost in the depths of the past.

There is one unique thing about the experience of reading comic books that I’ve not seen discussed a great deal. Books have pages, the same as comics, but they don’t work the same way.

The changes Grant Morrison is making now were not expected. Batman Incorporated: a whole organisation of Batmen and associated characters. It’s one of the most daring changes I’ve seen, given the huge stature of the character – but is it a good move?
