    Back on form

    Once again let me preface this for you, I read this once when it first came out and then each time another issue came out I've re-read this issue to refresh myself.  
    So now I've got all 6 issues and I'm re-reading the whole lot and it's finally starting to make some sense.    Now's the time for me to review them.         
     
    So this issue get's back on form, a bit slow going with the introduction of Hex but it establishes a few things around the 'box'. I loved the interrogation of Catherine, it made little sense before but like a lot of this series reading as part of the whole it makes a lot more sense. Inane ramblings become coherent statements and the references to immortals, dark gods and extinction are great in the larger context of final crisis and the prediction. Also more refences to the bells, a continuity reference that has existed throughout, I love how well thought out this is and the symbolism of the story as a whole is fantastic (pearls).  
    Some really good art here, the scenes in the rain are very detailed but didn't like Bruce's smile or Dr Wayne exiting that room but that's just nitpicking a damned good issue.

      Grant Morrison is acclaimed because he is one of the few writers who really push the medium to its potential. Part of the reason he can do this is because of his knowledge in the Occult.   There will always be three types of readers that walk away from a Grant Morrison story: (1) Those that had no idea what happened and did not like it, (2) Those that had no idea or little idea what really happened but enjoyed the story and (3) those who understand the messages between the lines.  ...

      Grant Morrison continues his tale of Bruce Wayne's return through time, and this month its a stop in the cowboy days. And it does not disappoint. Morrison's writing is fantastic as ever and this month he's joined by another great artist, Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). He may not be the best artist that Morrison has worked with, but he's not the worst.  His art is a bit more cartoony than most, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look good, because it does look damn good. Story-wise this...
