Batman #678: The Zur-En-Arrh Connection
Grant Morrison’s Batman #678 relies heavily on reference to Batman #113 (February 1958), specifically Zur-En-Arrh.
Batman #673: The Lingering Shadow of 1963

Batman #665: The Doppelgangers Three
Ah, Batman #665. Morrison seems to be disappointing critics with his run on this title, and I find myself constantly defending the work. I trust him enough as a writer to wait and see how it… [more]
Craig McGill on His Grant Morrsion Biography
Human Traffic author Craig McGill has been working on a Grant Morrison biography for years, as was recently mentioned in a Morrison interview over at Fanboy Radio. In the preparation for my Grant Morrison book, I… [more]
Batman #664: Bruce Wayne is Cool
