I also think this is a must-read run before starting my personal favorite Morrison (more on that below…).īuy-It Here: Deluxe Edition Book 1 / Deluxe Edition Book 2 / OmnibusĪrtists: Andy Kubert, John Van Fleet, Tony S. It’s maybe an oversimplification to say that that something else is meta-fiction, but that’s the description most closely associated with these comics. It starts as a familiar enough superhero story, but in Animal Man #5 the run starts to become something different, sort of transcending the familiar trappings of a straight-forward comic to become something new. Why It’s Cool: This is the run where you can perhaps best watch as Grant Morrison finds their voice. Like This? Also Read: While some of the “also read” suggestions on this list will get a bit more complicated, this one is easy because Morrison has twice also written Superman-centric runs of comics, including the New 52 launch of Action Comics and the more recent miniseries, Superman and the Authority. But nonetheless, it’s a masterful work from two titans of superhero storytelling, a must-read for anyone interested in Morrison or their view of comics and the world. I’ve seen it lauded as a great Superman comic to hand to non comics readers, and I’m not sure I’d say that ( Superman: Secret Identitysays hello). On a story level, it’s also incredibly moving and well-told.
Why It’s Cool: I think of this book as the definitive Superman story for the long-time Superman reader, touching as it does so much of the character’s core concept, wonderful cast of characters, and long publication history. Lettered By: Phil Balsman and Travis Lanham
