He's good but no where near great.
To be great status you have to invent a best-selling property, not just take over the mantle of a popular one.
He beats Byrne any day, but he's still in Byrne territory, you know?
What about an unpopular one?
Animal Man became a thing because of him.
Well, let's check >Wrote the best runs of Doom Patrol and Animal Man, an iconic run of JLA and New X-Men, and the even more iconic All Star Superman and Arkham Asylum
Yep, he's still good
His run on JLA doesn't get rated often enough, Rock of Ages is absolutely pitch perfect and its influence on comics and even cape films today is tremendous.
Read Rock of Ages, anon. I grew up reading JLA and going back to it more recently it was pretty hard to ignore how dull a lot of the stories were, but Rock of Ages remains an absolute classic of cape fiction. It's also the best Darkseid story up until maybe Final Crisis, if that means anything.
JLA is bad, how can you pretend it isn't? There is no characters in it, they are just one thing then another with no build up or growth. Flash and GL don't like each other and then off panel they become friends, never explaining what happened. It's bad
>JLA is bad
No. Morrison started with the core function and ideal of what the JLA is and does. They're a superteam of all the good guys. They have a threat-of-the-month for $2.50, and they go and they inevitably stop it because they're the peak of superheroism and literary power. He also had to balance his own ongoing stories with the monthly changes taking place in each character's monthly books like Electric Superman, Wally beginning to frick the speedforce more and more, and Diana lolrandomly dying. >Prometheus isn't a character >Connor Hawke and Key aren't characters >Aztek isn't a character >Zauriel isn't a character
Tell me, Anon, if you go down to your local police station (hopefully you're not in some bumfrick nowhere no one gives a shit about that actually uses sheriffs with gay cowboy hats like it's all Boss Hog up in dis b***h), do you think the members of the staff get "character development" from no work and no criminals and no changes, or do you kinda think they show up for work to manage the chaos of their jurisdiction, do the best they can to the level they can, and then go home to their own stories? Are you functionally moronic or something?
Is DC One Million good? I haven't read it, but I really like All Star Superman, and I hear it's kinda a prequel to DC One Million
Yes. It's really not related. It...sort of relates for 2 pages of an issue, but it's definitely not necessary. It's a fun story in it's own right, but is tainted by the number of tie-ins of varying quality. Basically, go "'buy' the omnibus," stick to the main event, and when you get to a character-book that drags, skip it. Like if you're not a Young Justice guy, don't bother with the pages that come from Young Justice #1m. But Superman and Batman #s 1m have some plot shit, and Resurrection Man #1m is probably necessary to the final chapter.
>They have a threat-of-the-month for $2.50, and they go and they inevitably stop it because they're the peak of superheroism and literary power
Which is fricking boring. I like Connor but he just randomly comes in to do the plot, he is the only one that has an inner monologue that makes sense though so I give you that.

He will always be hindered as an artist by the fact that all of this is purely for the sake of his vanity/image. He doesn't write for the sake of writing good stories, he writes to cultivate his image.
The only thing this Trans-Abled person has written that was good was All Star Superman, and thats because Superman allows for every kind of story telling.
This guys work is just "Hahah everything is so subjective and quirky, nothing has any meaning other than the random things I only know" he doesnt care about writing a good story.
He's a 50 year-old nobody who's really famous by chance of Tim Burton causing him to get attention. Most of his shit is god awful if you've ever read a book and also appreciate what comics are as a media.
What makes me laugh though is that this loser is still seething that Mark Millar is better than him. Morrison like everyone else from his generation of comics is a wannabe script writer. Byrne is better than him simply because Byrne is an autist who wants to make a great story. Morrison just apes the current scripts being pimped out in hopes someone will turn it into a movie or a TV show. The Matrix didn't copy the Invisibles, it copied 50 other scripts that were floating around that no one gave a shit about after Neuromancer.
His whole magic bullshit is him trying to ape Moore being a Thelemist because that was a way for Moore to get pussy. Moore is a cuck though and ashamed to admit that he loves Superheroes. Morrison is worse because he has to be a pseud when he pretends to like superheroes.

Whoa now, I think Morrison is pretty overrated with a tired shtick that depends entirely on meta-commentary but even he is better than Millar. Millar is an outright shitty writer that finds success because of his connections and how he's able to write cliched slop for the LCD. He's basically Bendis without the obsession with identity politics.
When I said Millar was better, I meant his success and influence in the Industry. Millar has a foot in Hollywood and Morrison had to suck up to Ezra Miller at parties for frick's sake.
Do I think Morrison is a better writer than Millar, yes because Millar phones everything in.
There will always be someone who hates all of the work of some writer because they take offense to things personally, despite, as you said, a decent variety in their works. It could be a matter of beliefs or that they feel said writer is undeservedly highly rated. I do think this is the case for Morrison.
There are also writers who do the same shit in all of their work.
His Batman run is legitimately brilliant, and a contender for one of the greatest superhero comics of all time. He seamlessly blends so many diverse sources together, you could easily be fooled into believing every Batman story from 1939-2006 was planned out for the purpose of creating this comic.
Despite what some people say, you don’t need to read all the obscure 50s/60s comics in order to understand it, but they do improve the experience quite a bit.
I’ve reread Batman RIP maybe a million times and I still can’t believe how great it is.
However, he also wrote Wonder Woman Earth One. I’m gonna be honest, it’s probably the worst comic I’ve ever read. I think it might be worse than alien comic books human beings haven’t discovered yet. It might be the worst comic in the universe. It was so bad, I’m not joking, I checked to make sure it wasn’t written by a different guy named Grant Morrison. Reading it after stuff like All Star Superman and Batman RIP was the worst case of whiplash I ever had
Okay, greatest written superhero comic of all time
Ironically, he also wrote Arkham Asylum, which is actually kinda weak story wise but the art elevates it to a masterpiece

His X-men is bad because he ignored everything but silver age. It was also bad because he delayed script so much that one book had to be draw inked and coloured in 2 weeks, just cause he was mad at his editor. What a baby
meh. i mean, his take is kinda better, storywise. and sets talia up as superb***h really well. and since the original story was already an elseworlds anyway, it's kosher w/ continuity at the time.
Anyone else love the Action Comics run? I have no fricking clue what he / DC were thinking putting Rags on art (and Chris Sprouse on backup) but for some reason it all works.
>I have no fricking clue what he / DC were thinking putting Rags on art
Fricking this. The art drags the whole story down, but the story is good enough to not fall apart. Same shit with J.G. Jones Pussying out of Final Crisis at the last minute. Like, why the frick did you take the job, butthole, if you weren't prepared for the weird, overwrought shit Morrison was famous for at that point?
observe the hylic morons desperately trying come up with a good critique of Grant. notice how all of them are non-arguments. you don't have to like the guy but the core reason for their hatred of grant is due to his spiritual clairvoyance.
>Writes Superman

Yeah, no. The last good Justice League run was...

Ironically, he also wrote Arkham Asylum, which is actually kinda weak story wise but the art elevates it to a masterpiece
Nah, not really.
Art is extremely important, either way.
Dave McKean is one of the best comic book artists of all time. Black Dog, Arkham Asylum, Celluloid, every time I flip a page I am floored

Based schizo
based, don't take your pills
ebig
He's a troony like his entire fanbase
He is incomprehensible, confusing, and out there.
I love everything he does.
based opinion
making Damian a rapebaby because he was too lazy to reread comics is hilarious
Morrison actually fricks a lot up. He's pretty open about how his knowledge of all older DC comics comes from a handful of reprint books.
Are there any good quotes from him on this? I've seen people say it on Cinemaphile, but I'd like to know what he actually said
His X-men is bad because he ignored everything but silver age. It was also bad because he delayed script so much that one book had to be draw inked and coloured in 2 weeks, just cause he was mad at his editor. What a baby
>he ignored everything but silver age
example?
Magneto
is a israelite
meh. i mean, his take is kinda better, storywise. and sets talia up as superb***h really well. and since the original story was already an elseworlds anyway, it's kosher w/ continuity at the time.
Miss him every day. It hurts bros.
>tfw This homie Bruce Wayne is the JFK Jr. of the DCU
Morrison is kinophetic.
>Just keep sigilin'
Anyone else love the Action Comics run? I have no fricking clue what he / DC were thinking putting Rags on art (and Chris Sprouse on backup) but for some reason it all works.
>I have no fricking clue what he / DC were thinking putting Rags on art
Fricking this. The art drags the whole story down, but the story is good enough to not fall apart. Same shit with J.G. Jones Pussying out of Final Crisis at the last minute. Like, why the frick did you take the job, butthole, if you weren't prepared for the weird, overwrought shit Morrison was famous for at that point?
Is DC One Million good? I haven't read it, but I really like All Star Superman, and I hear it's kinda a prequel to DC One Million
Oh hey, it's my favorite kind of thread
What would I need to do to be a good writer in Cinemaphile's eyes?
Morrison is what a dumb person thinks a smart person is like
observe the hylic morons desperately trying come up with a good critique of Grant. notice how all of them are non-arguments. you don't have to like the guy but the core reason for their hatred of grant is due to his spiritual clairvoyance.
Honestly he’s ruined every single franchise he’s ever touched and his fanbase doesn’t really like comic
Honestly this isn't true...unless you mean he wrote the best runs ever of some franchises? And cuckboi Snyder is there to lap up all of grant's cum?
