About the author

Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for twenty five years, after beginning his American comics career with acclaimed runs on ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. Since then he has written such best-selling series as JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as such creator-owned works as THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. In addition to expanding the DC Universe through titles ranging from the Eisner Award-winning SEVEN SOLDIERS and ALL-STAR SUPERMAN to the reality-shattering epic of FINAL CRISIS, he has also reinvented the worlds of the Dark Knight Detective in BATMAN AND ROBIN and BATMAN, INCORPORATED and the Man of Steel in The New 52 ACTION COMICS.

In his secret identity, Morrison is a "counterculture" spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos magician. He is also the author of the New York Times bestseller Supergods, a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the superhero as a cultural organism. He divides his time between their homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.

[Asen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Escalofriante historia en apenas dos números. Lloyd esta magnífico.

[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 4 out of 5]

The detail that completely flipped my perspective in Hellblazer: Newcastle was how much of a famous gold rush came down to people selling shovels, tents, and boots instead of digging for gold. Grant Morrison leaned on merchant ledgers and old letters home, and you can tell, because the numbers are oddly human, like a guy tracking his own boot costs with growing panic. The pacing dragged a bit in the chapters on land law, which got dense fast. Solid pick if you like your history with a side of business gossip.

Hellblazer: Newcastle leaves zero room for naive trust, as Grant Morrison systematically dismantles every comfortable justification for expanding top-down surveillance.

[Fugo Feedback · Rating 3 out of 5]

En su momento me gustó bastante, pero no tanto como Animal Man de Morrison ni como V de Vendetta de Lloyd, así que quizás lo subestimé un poco. Cuando lo relea seguro le escriba una reseña más elaborada.

Crudo, crudo, crudísimo.

[Dony Grayman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Especial de título engañoso que recopila los dos numeritos escritos por Morrison.

[Marie Enger · Rating 4 out of 5]

You really can't beat Grant Morrison's story line. Markin' him up with Jamie Delano on this one.
