Four stars... AT LEAST. The usual GM trip, with perfect comic book sensibility. The second story, wordless, going backward in time, because, of course, may feel like a let down. Meanwhile, the first story was the real tour de force. Imagine taking so many drugs that you didn't watch Santa Claus versus the Martians ironically. [image] (JK about the drugs. Grant Morrison is a genius.) Merry Christmas.

Transmetropolitan is old news for some. It was new to me, and I thought the final "deluxe" volume was a fitting end to the series. Some of the jokes just aren't funny, some of the sequences are drawn out in a manner that breeds suspicion of padding, but the vibe overall is still fresh, twenty years on. God knows, we wouldn't put anything past our politicians, and there are journalists who expose the truth. They're on substack, of course; not mainstream "papers." I liked it.

As KRS One said a long time ago,This is just one style, out of many. Like a piggy bank this is one penny. I also recall someone's review of Final Crisis, complaining that comics didn't need to be simple, but they shouldn't be as complex as Joyce's Ulysses. At this point, GM is in Finnegan's Wake territory, although I, for one, liked it better than the preceding volume.

Sinestro War: Aftermath and Secret Origin, the first two-thirds of this collection, were both pretty uninteresting, but the final Rage of the Red Lanterns arc was all right. Ends not on a cliffhanger, exactly, but set up for the next big thing, which I think, is Blackest Night.

I'd heard from people that this was good, but that doesn't mean much. I'd heard Court of Owls was good. I did not agree. Heck, some people even liked Tom King's Batman. For awhile. Which brings us to this. This was pretty damn good, especially the art. [image] Best Batman arc in years, if not decades.

I had been reading parts of Geoff Johns's years-long Green Lantern epic, and thought the best way to fill the gaps would be to read a huge chunk from near the beginning. No. That just makes reading comics into homework. Parts of this were very good, and though it was superior to most "threes," I can't rate it a four. Although I thought the funny, action -packed final arc, with the Star Saphire trying to bring "love" to Earth ( using Carol Ferris and "Cowgirl" as hosts) cleared the palate from the lugubrious Wanted: Hal Jordan arc. I feel entitled to skip ahead now.
