Morrison's reach consistently outstrips his grasp, so that his lows are quite so. Simone can't touch Morrison at his best, but too often, neither can he.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915477135063595894.post-52223016442171317532009-11-20T00:26:37.708-06:002009-11-20T00:26:37.708-06:00Simone has earned a high stature in my eyes of lat...Simone has earned a high stature in my eyes of late, between Secret Six and Wonder Woman (which I wasn't sold on her run at first) I think she should be DC's go to writer second only to John's and maybe Morrison.<br /><br />That's right, I just said Gail Simone is probably better than Grant Morrison.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915477135063595894.post-21027415132934534172009-11-19T16:38:24.083-06:002009-11-19T16:38:24.083-06:00For me, the sweet spot during Birds of Prey was th...For me, the sweet spot during <i>Birds of Prey</i> was the first couple years of Gail Simone's run (#56-80.) That's when the book was at its most vital as a super-heroic exploitation movie with a strong feminist streak. Dixon's run was too disposable and episodic for my taste. You could tell Black Canary was Simone's favorite, and she was built up to A-list status while Huntress arrived as a sarcastic foil. Sadly, once the book got sucked into one crossover after another, then lost BC to the Justice League, it came off the rails.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915477135063595894.post-61564736924223349432009-11-19T10:40:45.492-06:002009-11-19T10:40:45.492-06:00Heck yeah to Black Canary.

Birds of Prey never caught my attention until it was about to be canceled, so I've yet to really get into most of it. but what I've read, I've liked.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.com
