Oh for fucksake. Why can't everything Morrison does be as cool and fun as this? We should have gotten a Thunderworld ongoing after this.

I'm fucking shocked that WWEO is as good as it is. I expected Morrison to go full meta with it, but nah, he focused on just telling a straightforward story, and it was pretty solid.
>>
>>83730173
What do you mean?

>>83731045
Johns killed the Captain marvel anthology book by Waid, Morrison and Simone, and then cockblocked the attemp of morrison to make his own CM book since he was holding the "shazam" title hostage.
>>
>>83730987
This.
People that whine about Morrison being a one trick pony are dumb.
>>
>>83730374
Busy being EiC of Heavy Metal. At DC, he's working on Multiversity Too: The Flash, Wonder Woman: Earth One vol. 2, and Batman: Black & White but they're all OGNs that probably won't actually be out for years.

Morrison can move the literary ball down the field. Johns just jacks off to his legacy creations and camps on characters for years at a time.
I'm not talking about the big two I'm talking about Johns being a shitty, shallow, and unoriginal writer.
His biggest contribution is the rainbow corps, literally color swaps of the lanterns. He's so unremarkable as a creator.

>>
>>83732670
Oh yeah, I'm sure if Morrison wanted to do a book for Shazam, one might I add which would not even be canon to the New 52 take, DC would shoot him down because Johns has such amazing clout, eh?

He should've done Mastermen instead of fucking Lee.

Why the fuck was Lee even involved? I'm sure Morrison has a reason but fuck that shit.
>>
>>83732852
Yes, indeed Geoff Johns is the reasons those characters weren't being in use in the onset of the New 52, despite having no editorial power whatsoever in DC Comics.

Because Jim Lee is the Co-Publisher of DC comics. I'm sure if he hadn't already been on All Star Batman and Robin/Europa he would've gotten himself to draw Dark knight III

Jim Lee is better than Ivan Reis anyway
>>
>>83732919
wow you are such a dumb ass fanboy
>>
>>83733018
No, you're the dumbass fanboy.

They let Morrison do a Captain Marvel issue for Multiversity which was intended as a one and done issue, and you think this somehow means he planned to do more and DC won't let him because of Johns? Get the fuck out of here. If they didn't want him writing for Shazam, they would not have let him do this one shot in the first place, faggot.
>>
>>83733094
>writing for Shazam

The name is Captain Marvel
>>
>>83732993
And letting Morrison write more Shazam comics prevents this somehow?
>>
>>83733113
That name has been tarnished by that butch tumblrina
>>
>>83733113
Though most of the time, the title of the book was Shazam.
DC can still call him Captain Marvel, right? They just don't because it's easier to market and avoid legal battles as Shazam?
>>
>>83733094
He literally has a Lector Silvana who says he'll be back for Mary. Are you fucking simple? Even if Johns isnt controlling everything at DC you can't deny Morrison was setting up a Cap series. Yes this story works fine on its own but it's definitely open ended. Why are you being so belligerent?
>>

Georgia Sivana is a fucking BRICKHOUSE tho

Goddamn. I don't even care what her true form looks like. That bitch is fine as hell.
>>
>>83733198
Agreed. New favorite character.
>>
>>83733193
Morrison leaves a lot of his work open ended, doesn't mean there's gonna be more and it doesn't mean Johns is at fault here if nothing comes from it.
>>
>>83733240
Johns had the ongoing hostage and he did nothing with the character at the end.
It's simple: if the "canon" version of the character doesnt have a series the "alternative veriosion" character won't get a series either. If you believe Johns isnt a complete dck you are a complete idiot
>>
>>83732287
I can't tell if this makes her egotistical, or pure as the driven snow.
>>
Gonna request that Parker/Shaner Convergence two-part story senpaitachi.

Literally the perfect team for a Capt ongoing, but will probably get passed over for the new series
>>
>>83733297
Nope, that's all shit in your head you're trying to pass off as fact without any evidence.

Sorry I'm not gonna fucking drink your kool-aid.
>>
>>83732999
>Jim Lee is better than Ivan Reis anyway

Both are shit.
>>
>>83732623
The anthology title I know is a real thing that was supposed to happen. DC rejected it because there was going to be another version of the character that never happened. Had nothing to do with Johns as far as I know.
>>
>>83733240
Can you get off John's dick? I didn't even mention him in my post.

If this had been a bigger success there would undoubtedly have been more Captain Marvel stories.

That point aside, since you want to defend one of the weakest writers working in comics right now so bad, you have to agree Johns has asserted himself as chief creative director and controls the direction DC is going. Therefore it is reasonable to say he kept anyone else from touching Marvel because he wants to keep his edgy shitass fucked up and sloppy Billy Batson can turn into a super powered wrestler story as the most recent series.

With a Shazam movie coming out and Johns helming those movies, why do you think he would cockblock Morrison?

If you can't see what's going on you're literally too fucking stupid for life.

We really need a Thunderworld ongoing.

>>83732614

If it's well known, you should have a source, anon.
>>
>>83733350
It's all in your fucking head. Morrison himself was taking a break from ongoings, I'm not quite sure why you believe he had some intention of doing more Captain Marvel stories for DC anytime soon.

And again, even if Morrison were to do his own Captain Marvel ongoing, this would not stop DC from taking cues from Johns' Shazam instead of Morrison's take. God knows just because Wonder Woman: Earth One is a thing now, I don't expect her movie to take cues from Morrison's version of the character.

Look you stupid fool, no one knows why DC won't publish an ongoing for Captain Marvel.

Trying to blame him for the lack of a book is pretty fucking stupid. Get over yourself, you moron.

Nah, m8. DC has been reluctant to publish Shazam as a ongoing for years now even prior to Johns as CCO and I'm suppose to believe it would have been a thing by now if not for him?

I really can't make this point any simpler for you to """believe"""

Johns knows his material is so forgettable that he relies on business tricks and company wide reboots to leave his mark. Man of Steel 2 is going to be an adaptation of his Brainiac story, which is a ripoff of War of the Worlds. Hes trying to create a legacy in the history of comics that people will never forget.

So he actively prevents new Marvel books, written by Morrison or not. Fuck, dude.
>>
>>83730987
WWEO would have benefited from better art. Also, too many people won't really know or bother to learn WW's history via Moulton Marston and thus all the stuff about submission and the chains, etc., probably doesn't go down well with casuals. I'm also not sure where he got the point about the body shaming by Mala and the Amazonian doctor of the sorority girls, since I don't really remember anything like that in the original GA stories, but I'll be happy to have someone correct me.

He did go meta somewhat in that he brought forth a lot of characteristics that aren't really commonly used.
>>
>>83733919

Show us on the doll where Johns touched you, anon.
>>
>>83733980
You're the one sucking his dick in fantasy land.
I'm actually indifferent about Johns. I just don't like people using characters who can represent the loftiest and cheesiest of our inspirational ideals being used as footballs in some retard's career game. It cheapens their meaning. Shazam used to sell over a million copies an issue and now it's a backup feature and a John Cena/Rock movie.
>>
>>83733928
The body shaming thing is just logical extrapolation. The Amazons are all fit, gorgeous statuesque supermodels. Of course they'd think average women would look weird.

Morrison was just doing what so few writers are interested in doing, and actually explored their culture a bit. It was nice.

Fucking autocorrect spit out like half a sentence or there, whatever. I'm done talking at you.

>>83733919
These are some pretty nice tinfoil arguments you got going here, I must say, Anon.

Especially considering Johns himself said he has plans for Shazam after Rebirth, and considering he's taking a break from ongoings, he won't be writing this book he will appear in.

And other than rumors on /tv/, Man of Steel 2 is not confirmed yet.

Echoing the Greek vases and art WAS brilliant. In particular, the way the buildings on Paradise Island was inventive and some of the unique touches (the ostriches for the fighting, the flying 'scooters' type vehicles) were very cool.

My problem with the art was that, for the people, some of the ink work felt really heavy and some of them did not look good, including some of the images of Diana, in particular Nubia in almost all instances, and Hippolyta often, especially the way they almost always are facing sideways. In Nubia's case, those sideways poses make her body look odd, at best/kindest. And the inking is really dark on those, which isn't flattered by the fact that the colorist went for such dark skin colors, considering the garb she wore.

Batman B&W, as first anon said, are older pieces, those stories are pretty much done, these just needs the art work.

Ditto the Mutliversity Flash story, although I bet he's edited it and changed it up so it fits in with the elements he carried over in those 9 issues.

>>83732982
Yes, but since they are NOT calling him Captain....

>>83733094
>Multiversity which was intended as a one and done issue
Actually, Morrison and Didio (probably anyone else who did publicity for the issues as well) said that the six views of the various earths (as well as the two in the Guidebook, plus the ideas for the other earths in the guidebook) were all intended as jumping off points that any creators could use for on-going stories or new series. Just look at any press done at the release of the first book.

>>83733190
That can't call the BOOK Captain Marvel. There's probably either practical or legal restrictions on using the name Captain Marvel in publicity, etc. So they just decided post FP that it was easier to re-name him Shazam. Up until the Final Crisis soft reboot, when they did Superman/Shazam! as the title of the mini-series, they still called him Captain Marvel to refer to himself and as others referred to him in interior pages.
>>
>>83739338
This >>83732488 is why Shaner is such a brilliant artist. When you look at the test art he does for any book he works on, especially when it's based on previous artist, he really does a good job of updating where it's necessary and still being true to the original idea/work.

Just googling "Grant Morrison Captain Marvel" turns up

http://www.newsarama.com/26659-gail-simone-reveals-the-best-dc-book-ever-that-never-saw-print.html

In which Simone outlines plans for a trilogy of Captain Marvel ongoings: Waid on Captain, Morrison on Jr., Simone on Mary.

Instead, it appears Johns (CCO of DC) and Franks went with the "Curse of Shazam", with Johns continuing that direction with the character in his Justice League.

While I do agree with the "Cereal Lord is the reason we don't have an ongoing" narrative, do we really want one written by Mark Waid?

Morrison is incapable of writing stories that are fun. He always falls to exact same tropes and his stories end up going very dark in places. Even story like All-Star Superman, which could have been Silver Age fun was full of gruesome shit. It's really weird considering he loves Silver Age comics, and those are always light hearted but with Morrison he always starts adding rape, drug use, transvestites and creepy dimension shit in every story.
