I notice a lot of Morrison Bats books as well when browsing. Do they all interlink? If there's some stuff before B&R (Batman RIP perhaps?) then I'd like to get that first.

Is that the Grant Morrison run? Brilliant stuff if it is.Blue Swirl wrote:Just put an order in for Animal Man volume 1. Due to economic weirdness, it's actually cheaper to get it shipped from the US than it is to buy a copy from a New Zealand retailer.
Morrison does villains as good as anyone. The bad guys in B&R are despicable.Gremill wrote:Started to re-read B&R vol.1 in prep for 2&3 arriving. Had forgotten how good it was. Frank Quitely is amazing, some stunning art alongside a great story.

I'm tempted to go back and read some of the old Animal Man stuff; I bought the New 52 Swamp Thing #1 on a whim (the cover looked awesome), loved it so much I tracked down the Alan Moore stuff. Which was also awesome. If I enjoy this TPB I won't take much persuading to get the Morrison stuff.Gremill wrote:Is that the Grant Morrison run? Brilliant stuff if it is.
