Honestly, so long as the alternative was ill-conceived revision and dull cameo appearances, keeping J'Onzz alive seemed the greater waste. When the time and creators are right, the Manhunter from Mars shall return.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-45478344297535092972008-05-31T22:30:00.000-05:002008-05-31T22:30:00.000-05:00nice tribute, frank.a waste of a great character.nice tribute, frank.<BR/><BR/>a waste of a great character.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-7258301134615233072008-05-31T02:12:00.000-05:002008-05-31T02:12:00.000-05:00In a nutshell, Morrison loved the money "Arkham As...In a nutshell, Morrison loved the money "Arkham Asylum" brought, but hated that everyone focused on Joker gooseing Batman. He assumes he's far too smart for his audience, instead of his just being obtuse and/or demanding. I think there's a bit of the Soderberg "one for them, one for me" going on as well.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-19498314670404055712008-05-30T21:49:00.000-05:002008-05-30T21:49:00.000-05:00I've always said that Morrison is a writer who use...I've always said that Morrison is a writer who uses half of his writings to lament the other half. He'll do a post-modern, adult oriented story and then a month later release something that reeks of sour grapes over that very shift in the comic book landscape.Sinnycalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334583214257110489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-90962707734810782342008-05-30T11:43:00.000-05:002008-05-30T11:43:00.000-05:00Taking into account the quantity and quality of dr...Taking into account the quantity and quality of drugs in his system, I'm not sure there's enough focus left to amount to a conspiracy.

Is it possible that Grant Morrison is purposely destroying the modern DCU so that his desire to bring back the comics of his childhood will become a more palpable goal?Sinnycalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334583214257110489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-45688328324688125782008-05-30T02:03:00.000-05:002008-05-30T02:03:00.000-05:00Mostly agreed.

I'm not as broken up over J'Onn's murder though, as they've already written an out, as if you needed one in the first place. You cannot kill the Manhunter from Mars and expect it to stick. It's nonsense. Better he play dead a while than suffer indignity and abuse.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-2869120307657928792008-05-30T00:56:00.000-05:002008-05-30T00:56:00.000-05:00Everyone involved in the senseless MURDER of Marti...Everyone involved in the senseless MURDER of Martian Manhunter should hang their heads in shame. DC's books are now radioactive to me. Who ill die next? Who will rape who next? Is this DC or some pornographic snuff film? Nice going DC, you just lost a reader. And I am far from alone. Your "Final Crisis" "big event" is a grotesque train wreck that fans are rejecting big time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
