All about me
All about me rated it 7 years ago
Excellent essay full of so many pertinent observations I don’t know where to start. But I think the one that stays with me is his excellent expansion of our inability to imagine something like what happened to indigenous peoples happening to us. Our empathy and compassion is clearly conditional.

We get the origins of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol. From the magic bus of the enemies The Brotherhood of DADA that lets out a hallucinogen drug when it is driven down the road. Has to be one of the best in series. Crazy Jane's chapter is great. Eager to read the last in series I believe. But sad...

I've expressed before my normal mix of annoyance and admiration that Morrison usually leaves me with, but this time it really does come together.Much of the book is taken up with Buddy's political activis...

Grant Morrison has made a career out of throwing around tons of wildly creative ideas and waiting to see which ones stick. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I admire his creativity and willingness to try to work out even his strangest ideas (and DC's willingness to let him do as he likes...

The first story in this volume has more of what I've come to expect from Morrison: fascinating, over the top weirdness with a weak storyline. Danny the Street is fantastic, though, and I'd love to see more of him. The second storyline is rather more coherent, featuring Rhea's Jean Grey-esque (why ye...

The vast majority of American citizens vote for Nobody in each election, so when will the will of the people prevail and Nobody be sworn in as president? And while we are at it, who was Number None?

There is an odd kind of purity in this level of madness. The narrative just charges forward wherever its going without any concern for narrative, like a drunken dog on Halloween night.
