Just finished Grant Morrison's run on Animal Man and... wow.
I've been hearing about Animal Man for the last few years, but never got around to reading it or really much of Morrison's work. I already knew the ending before I started, but it didn't take away from the experience at all (or maybe it did, but I was still floored by it). Even the issues that didn't involve metafiction were just great superhero stories. I think the first 4 issues alone would still be remembered if Morrison didn't get to continue the series afterwards.
Now I am looking forward to reading their run on Doom Patrol and dig deeper into their works. Maybe I'll check out Alan Moore's Swamp Thing as well.
Grant Morrison is OP. He had an absolutely amazing and incredibly long lasting run with Batman a few years back, immediately after Final Crisis. "Batman R.I.P." -> "Final Crisis" -> (Special Shout out to Neil Gaiman's "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" at this point in the chronology) -> "Battle for the Cowl" -> "Batman & Robin" (Basically the whole run, very few weak sections) -> "The Return of Bruce Wayne". After that leads into "The Road Home" and eventually "Batman Incorporated" which are both good, but I really feel like the Return of Bruce Wayne really cemented the end of the arc, and those led back into a return to normalcy for Batman. Not a bad thing, but Grant has written a lot of Batman comics over the years, so I've got to cut it off sometime.
Grant Morrison also wrote "All-Star Superman" which is worth every bit of the hype it receives imo.
