I know that Morrison writes in mysterious ways, but this time I think he's outstripped the limits of that method.<BR/><BR/>It's an event, and a good one at that, and has some fantastic moments. But it doesn't, or at least hasn't yet, come together adequately in one coherent whole.<BR/><BR/>Plus, it's one thing to kill Martian Manhunter in one panel. It's another to do the same with Batman in one or two pages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-69454406583080847232009-01-22T00:01:00.000-05:002009-01-22T00:01:00.000-05:00I'm planning on rereading Final Crisis (all nine i...I'm planning on rereading <I>Final Crisis</I> (all nine issues of it--as I count only the Morrison-penned stuff as official), but maybe I should throw in some <I>Mister Miracle</I> (or maybe ALL of "Seven Soldiers").Chad Nevetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785622045733202883noreply@blogger.com
