Strange Adventures in DC Comics

Ok, that was a bit faecetious, morrison has indeed written some good stories. He just does this weird tonal jumping thing that makes the writer’s voice seem like its smirking at you. For example, he did this issue of new x-men where magneto’s memory was redeemed in the aftermath of cassandra nova’s (prof x’s evil twin) bombing of genosha. It was a nice stand alone issue and included a nice range of characters beyond the new x-men standard cast. All and sundry gather in genosha to remember Erik, and Morrison adds to New X-Men’s very impressive range of iconic imagery with former Brotherhood of Mutants building a huge, mulitfaced statue of magneto out of the huge megasentinel that bombed the country. Then later in the run he resurrects magneto as a crazy drug addicted terrorist. Is he laughing at the reader for being affected by the previous story? Is he also laughing at the reader for investing in the new (and also suitably iconic) character Xorn, who he reveals to have been nonexistent, simply a disguise for magneto to infiltrate the school.

Sorry this is off topic.
