It'll stick as long as Morrison is in a position of authority or influence. So maybe five years.

Still, I'll miss him and the stories that resulted in things like Batcow.

Five yrs.? try more like five months, Grant's leaving the world of superhero comics behind, to concentrate on his other projects. His Batman Inc. run wraps up with issue 12.

Morrison annoys me. He gets far too conveluted for the sake of his own stories and a lot of the time his arcs end up going nowhere.

I don't like Grant Morrison either. Or Frank Quitely for that matter.

Batman Inc. #8 was fucking epic, to the point where I just may have to add this to my list again, at least for the next few issues, just to see the fallout.

I'm not sure if I like this book or not. I'm willing to run with it because of Remnder, but fucking Cassady and his delays kill whatever book he is working on. At least they'll have Copiel for the next arc.

Click for Spoiler:

Red Skull basically merges with Xavier, which you knew. Uh Oh, Red Skull has now merged with Onslaught. There is a fast forward 3 months at the end of the book which shows Immortus dead, a prophecy involving Cable, Ahab, and what looks like a Stark created Nimrod.

It looks like Marvel is going to cash in on Days of Future Past. Apparently the next arc features Kang and the Apocalypse twins (direct sequel to Dark Angel Saga), which will lead into this dystopian future.

He's leaving behind monthly superhero comics, not all of it. He's still got stuff like Multiversity and Wonder Woman: Earth One that he's working on, remember? He'll probably do a couple of more projects for DC here and there if they can manage it.

I thoroughly enjoy Remender for the most part, but this book I just don't get the same enjoyment out of that I did with Uncanny X-Force & Venom runs, I am enjoying the hell out of his Captain America book though.

Ok, I'm glad I dropped this, Cassady's art on this has been underwhelming IMO, I hate his Captain America, & I've never been fond of that Havok costume, I think the mask looks fucking retarded. I'm not really fond of where the story is going either.

Young Avengers this week was entertaining as hell, I urge anyone looking for a fairly light, fun book to check this on out. Gillen does a fantastic job of writing young superheros, his Loki in particular is very entertaining.

I'd be tempted to pick it up if I wasn't so bitter about how the Avengers Academy kids got treated after their title ended.

What is it with Marvel and dystopian futures lately?

Anyway, looking forward to Copiel taking on the book but I haven't been impressed by it thus far from either an art or writing perspective.
