Did Morrison just leave the comic book industry?
>>144657006I think he said he's on a temporary break.
He attempted to get into movies and failed, hard. Karma for mocking Siegel and Shuster for taking a bad deal.
>>144657006he's 64
>>144657355So what?
>>144658804He's also a recreational druggie.
>>144657006He hasn’t written a good comic since his original Batman run so hopefully.
>>144657006>didio fired>morrison stops writing comicsI wouldn't be surprised if they're cooking up something together.
>>144657006He said he's retired. Whether that means he's retired permanently or if it's a Miyazaki style "retirement" we'll see.The last few comics he wrote were filled with what seemed like genuine hate for DC so he might be out permanently.
>>144657006Ezra Miller poisoned his chi. It's going to be awhile before he recovers so I took him up to the old farm and put up sigils to ward off Alan Moore.
>>144658804he's 64the chance he has dementia at 65 is 1/50 for a brit and 1/9 for a yank overallfor someone who was a self-admitted heavy drug user it's higher on both sides of the atlantiche probably shit himself and didn't remember shitting himself for the first time recently, that's often the big wake-up for older people that's something's wrong they can't just power through by concentrating hard, the alternative is becoming paranoid that somebody else keeps shitting your pantsdude's fucked
>>144659695>somebody else keeps shitting your pantsIf ANYONE in the industry could make that into a comic book premise it's Morrison
>>144660032>I CAN SMELL YOU!
>>144660032>It's been Moore shitting Morrison's pants all this time
>>144657024>>144657040>>144657355>>144658855>>144659276>>144659503>>144659533>>144659695>He*Tehy:)
>>144660118No one fucking cares zoomie
>>144660118I thought that was just a larp so he could fuck Radfem chicks
What was his last good comic, anyway? All-Star Superman? I remember being told that The Multiversity would be the next best thing, his magnum opus, but it turned out to be a flop, even the hyped Pax Americana was crap, just a shitty parody of Moore's initial Charlton heroes concept. Haven't even read his Green Lantern and WW Earth One, and don't even plan to.
>writes one last mainstream comic for Marvel, Avengers>it has no meta content, it's a solid story through and through>unpublishable because everyone's speaking in thick Glasgow dialect for no reason
>>144660137nah he just fried his brain on acid and research chemicals. radfems probably played into it aswell.
>becomes so senile Millar has to ghostwrite for him, completing the circle
>>144660154His Green Lantern run is fine until the second season after the Blackstar mini between the first and second half. Anything after that is divisive at best.
>>144660154I really liked Ultra Comics. Didn't really get what the point of it was but I enjoyed it.
Paint the hair on him and let him cameo in flashback as John Godolkin on The Boys while he can still remember lines
>>144657040He's been trying since the early 2000s
>>144660318huh?
>>14465969564 is late midlife for a comic book writer, they don't usually combust until 75, even considering substance abuse brain damage which honestly doesn't creep up on you 15–25 years later, it's not like steroids
>>144660464He's Scottish, have you ever heard him in an interview
>MooreRetired>MorrisonRetired>EllisCancelled>GaimanCancelled>MillarStill shitThat leaves us Milligan and Ennis still left out of all the British Invasion...
>>144660500Glaglow is closer to standard English
>>144659503>genuine hate for DCwhy?
>>144660118what's turkish food got to do with it
>>144660530Good thing Milligan has been quietly killing it for years. Ennis is still good when he wants to be.
>>144660544Than what, Esperanto
>>144660530Ellis still gets work. I read his newsletter and he has like four or five projects in development: comics, TV, and I think an audio drama. He's just a lot quieter about it.I miss Injection tho
This is what I mean when I say all the big comic writers are gone. Most mainstream longer runs are done by journeymen now while guys like Morrison and Ennis just do short series or indies
>>144661770Simone's the last no matter how much you or I dislike her, she's the tail end of the old days and she's got another 5 years max in her before she burns out (and she absolutely will).
>>144657006He look like he hug gators
>>144661835Where do you stand on Hickman? He's big regardless, and kind of in that same boat now of did all his big runs and is relegated to small projects or indies. Ultimate spider-man gives me hope, but I don't think it'll have the same reach as his x-men or avengers
>>144661866Hickman should have gone to DC like he planned in 2017 to write Legion and New Gods.
>>144657006Morrison hasn't written anything worth reading since Rock of Ages.
>>144660379>season
>>144659533You fool, attempting to practice the dark arts only attracts Moore.Remove the sigils at once!They're definitely not helping, and on an unrelated note where is this old farm?
>>144660154His GL run is unironically a strong contender for the worst comic run of all time.
>>144660154Pax Americana is good. All-Star Superman is his last great comic.
>>144663051yes
No one’s mentioned it but Grants Substack is pretty active
>>144666009Cool.
>>144661016He sure killed Hellblazer.
