His Adam Strange story for the Schwartz Mystery In Space tribute was
for me unreadable and the first issue of his JLA Classified arc put me
to sleep. You're welcome to him. Just keep him away from
any character I like.

I've been buying the Seven Soldiers stuff but as a whole it is leaving me uninterested in seeing how it all finishes. I am enjoying the Gaurdian title. Morrison does strike me as a guy with lots of ideas, if he hands these ideas off to other creators maybe they will make more sense of his more abstract ideas.

Morrison's making real fun use of inter-title continuity in his Seven Soldiers stuff so I'm intrigued by this.
As someone who couldn't get into the Invisibles at all, I've been
pleasantly surprised at how straight forward and enjoyable his current
stuff has been - WE3 in particular stands out as probably the best
mini-series I've read in yonks.

I don't think this portrayal is entirely accurate. Everything I've read indicates that they are using Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison in an advisory capacity to provide some company-wide story cohesion for Infinite Crisis and it's aftermath. I don't see anything wrong with that and there is nothing indicating that they are going to be running the show after that. It's this effort to keep some cohesion that separates DC from Marvel these days.

Hear hear. He may like superheroes, but I've yet to be entertained by his
attempts to write them.

as someone said before, he my Love superheroes, but he doesn't respect them. I think i would much prefer someone who didn't like superheroes but was a professional who respected the work, and characters, and past creators - Johns and Morrison seem to be complete opposites, a traditionalist and someone who has never gotten a characterization right in his life. I've hoped all along that Seven Soldiers was out of continuity, now they pull this . . . ::sigh::

He even compares himself to Julius Schwartz. Whatever.
Now, if only he understood superheroes. |

He said he's doing the sort of thing Julie did. Which is true. Whether he's as succesful as Julie remains to be seen.

If he sticks to just finding those hidden nuggets, I don't have a
problem with what he is doing, and more power to him. I can't say
I really like any of the 7 Soldiers titles, but I'm willing to wait and
see.

From the article:
"Both DiDio and Morrison stressed that the writer isn’t pulling books or concepts out from under creators and handing them back a radically altered concept that they have to shoehorn into their existing plans, rather, Morrison is looking through DC’s catalog of characters and concepts that haven’t seen the light of day for a while, and “re-imagining” them for a modern audience. Rather than working with the "known" of the DCU, Morrison is looking to bring back the unknown to today's fans, or at the very least, the largely forgotten and lost to time."
Whew. I was worried there for a minute.

I think it'll be fine, M***** however is becoming unreadable, I don't recognize any of the characters anymore, they all slid into another dimension and were replaced by evil doppelgangers.

I would suggest any comics fan, hell, any fan of a great
story, to pick up the We3 TPB.
I fell hard for all 3 of those characters.
I took a chance on a writer I usually do not enjoy,
and was happily surprised.
I still don't enjoy his super stuff, tho.
