But could someone please tell me why Grant Morrison is so great. I mean Ive read his stuff and it seems kinda weird to me. Maybe I'm not that smart but I'm pretty sure not every one is kissing this guy's butt. So please someone tell me why he is being allowed to destroy Batman and do whatever the heck it is he's doing to the DC Universe. I’m sorry, but I’m new to the board thing.

I was a little confused because of the title and the fact that the picture at the top is completely unrelated to the article. Okay, thanks.

I loved the Seven Soldiers story but felt that "Mister Miracle" was the weakest of the bunch. It had the potential to be great and started out that way with Pasqual Ferry, then two different artists had to finish the four-part mini, with the whole thing feeling very disjointed. To make matters worse, Ferry, a brilliant artist, left DC to go to Marvel and proceeded to produce mediocre work on low-tier Ultimate books and Orson Scott Card stories. What a shame.
