I actually worked 27 hours on Monday and Tuesday when I was rota'd in to do only seven and a half...<BR/><BR/>However, tomorrow I'm definitely *not* going in to work (I'm up writing this at 4AM - there's no way I'm getting up before lunchtime) so you can actually expect a post when I've said it's coming...<BR/><BR/>And it's actually quicker to write one of these than it is to do the new comic reviews, which is why I'm writing these. I have to struggle to find something to say about, say, last week's Fantastic Four, but the only problem with Seven Soldiers is trying to put the flood of words into something like a logical order...Andrew Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412263807838661843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921448313469977350.post-12702491553590091052007-09-06T02:53:00.000+00:002007-09-06T02:53:00.000+00:00Your track record with saying "more tomorrow" isn'...Your track record with saying "more tomorrow" isn't too good so far, so I'll look forward to more from you next week.<BR/>Still, I love it when I can get it.<BR/>How about some current comics to tide us over while you're composing?acespothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16117510484231244079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921448313469977350.post-83650839392122706702007-09-06T01:14:00.001+00:002007-09-06T01:14:00.001+00:00Interesting to hear that Morrison changes from rev...Interesting to hear that Morrison changes from reverse spelling to a mirror font for Zatanna's spell. I have all four SS trades but was derailed before getting to the halfway point and haven't returned yet.<BR/><BR/>But now that the Fourth World Omnibuses are coming out I'm not sure if I should read them first before restarting SS.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait till tomorrow's entry. I loved the metatextuality of Infinite Crisis, particularly Alex Luthor's editorial role in the universe, accompanied by Superboy-Prime, the whiny re-reader of DC history who is from our world. My favorite moment was when Alex was looking through the new worlds and said "Earth-Prime, where are...? YOU" as he reached out towards the reader.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to hear Morrison is writing Final Crisis in case it reveals <A HREF="http://anyeventuality.wordpress.com/2006/10/24/earth-two-is-dead-long-live-new-earth-prime/" REL="nofollow">my prediction</A> that the place the Earth-2 Superman, Lois, and Wonder Woman were whisked away to is an afterlife in Earth Prime where they discover their fictional nature and, as Morrison wrote in Animal Man, outlive their creators, outlive their gods, living again whenever someone reads their stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921448313469977350.post-87943821606877681162007-09-06T01:14:00.000+00:002007-09-06T01:14:00.000+00:00I've been loving this look at Seven Soldiers so fa...I've been loving this look at Seven Soldiers so far. I have long been a Morrison fan but I'm just not smart enough or well read enough to read into his stuff on these levels but I love reading excellent analyses by someone who IS smart enough, like yourself. Great stuff and I can't wait to go back and read the series after you finish your critique of it.Justin B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12667573763201733677noreply@blogger.com
