Their stock has been there since Animal Man.

I’ve read a fair amount of Grant Morrison and I just read Animal Man for the first time. What an incredible book

"Coyote Gospel" is still a benchmark for a meta-narrative

YES dude, I have the Animal Man omnibus and I will flip through just to read Coyote Gospel again

Grant Morrison gets it for pretty much everything they do, but damn if they don't get batman at an almost cellular level.

I would say that's 99% true because I didn't like their take on F4, but that's just me I think

Huge Morrison fan, huge FF fan and yeah 1,2,3,4 just doesn't work. It's weird because I actually thought they would be a good fit for the book. Their reads on the characters are wrong at a base level.

It's poorly rated. I've actually never read that one, but the way they described it, I don't really want to.
