So,
io9 says that Grant Morrison takes comics fandom to task for being so enthused with "grim and gritty" storytelling, and there's a point there... if you are anyone but Grant Morrison.
Because Scott Summers cheating on his wife with a woman dressed like a stripper? That was for kids. Black Adam ripping off so many arms that players of
Taboo aren't allowed to use his name when they're trying to describe A Farewell To Arms? Kids. (And I know Grant Morrison didn't write all of 52, but if anything, the notion of him writing a kid-friendly storyline in the middle of an ensemble series which begins with one of the leads about to commit suicide is even more asinine).
Oh, and in Final Crisis, when all the female superheroes got turned into evil bondage queens? The kids love bondage. Every cartoon these days has to include a leather daddy or they just won't care.
Quote of the day:
Morrison discovered, as a result, that he could write impossibly beautiful, sophisticated women into his comic and they would come to him in real life shortly afterwards.That explains all the promiscuous, bisexual British women in my life lately. It's the fanfics! I need to stop writing them, it's getting annoying.
