Like This? Also Read: Well, Batman: Arkham Asylumand Batman: Gothic are certainly other comics written by Morrison that also have Batman in it, but that book is from an entirely different era of their work. Admittedly, I’m a completionist with my reading, but I just think the stunning nature of the overall vision for this run is one fans of Morrison should experience. While there are certainly individual highlights - Batman & Robin Batman, Inc., come to mind - I think these comics are best taken as a whole. It certainly spans the most comics and series, adding up for a total of three ominbi (busses? who knows…). Publisher: DC Comics Why It’s Cool: Morrison’s work on Batman is their longest and arguably most elaborate work with a single character. Williams, David Finch, Phillip Tan, Yanick Paquette, Ryan Sook, Frank Quitely, Frazer Irving, Declan Shalvey, Chris Burnham, Scott Clark, Cameron Stewart, Jorge Lucas, and more Buy-It Here: Deluxe Edition Book 1 / Deluxe Edition Book 2 / OmnibusĪrtists: Andy Kubert, John Van Fleet, Tony S. I also think this is a must-read run before starting my personal favorite Morrison (more on that below…). 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. Publisher: DC Comics Why It’s Cool: This is the run where you can perhaps best watch as Grant Morrison finds their voice.

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. Penciled By: Frank Quitely Inked and Colored By: Jamie Grant Lettered By: Phil Balsman and Travis Lanham Publisher: DC Comics 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.
