Missy Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Just as I asked over in the Garth Ennis thread, which Grant Morrison run should I cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 The other stories might be more interesting, but I picked JLA because in the late 90s, that run is quite literally what got me back into comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I love his run on New X-Men but Seven Soldiers wins out for the sheer ambition of the project. And for Frankenstein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Seven Soldiers for its ambition, fleshing out of characters that DC didn't take advantage of, and the excellent art across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordyjohn Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Seven Soldiers! It has been a while since I read that series this will give me a reason to read it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 By the way Mike, if Seven Soldiers wins, you'll be needing this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 New X-Men.It's one of the more new reader-friendly things he's written, takes chances, is overall well-written, and actually helped shape the current status quo of its company's universe (a claim neither of the other books can make thanks to the reboot). I'll also admit that I'm voting for it because I read all of it quite recently and wanna know what someone who isn't a huge Morrison fan thinks of it. Plus, you need only read eight digests or three collections to read it in trade form, rather than 30 separate books, and this run is unbroken by issues by other writers (as in JLA).

Koete Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Seven Soldiers is collected in order in four trades or two hardcovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 That and Seven Soldiers is actually less issues than New X-Men and the same number of issues if you just include JLA. If you include DC 1,000,000 which is kinda considered part of the run and JLA:Earth-2 which takes place during the same issues and has been collected in the big JLA Grant Morrison Collection.

Mr Mockery Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Seven Soldiers is pretty much the only comic series that I managed to get every issue of when it was first released. Back in the good old days when I had a standing order at a comic book store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
