Note: This post originally appeared in 2014 on my old site. It is reprinted here with minor edits in honor of Grant Morrison’s birthday. He was born January 31, 1960.
This is probably the hardest top 10 I’ve made so far, mostly because Grant Morrison has written a lot of amazing comis. A LOT. And it seems unfair to rate his corporate work against genre-busting experiments like Kill Your Boyfriend. But I’m still gonna try.
Also, everyone who has a favorite GM story thinks that they’re right and everyone else is wrong. Like “The Invisibles” for example. People who love that comic LOVE that comic like it’s their own child. But it didn’t work for me. I liked the first four or five issues, but then the series just seemed to drag on and the characters didn’t click. I didn’t hate it, but it’s not in my top 10. Or even my top 20. My shame about that has led me to try to reread it a few times, but I have to accept reality: I’m just not a fan.
But what do I like? Let’s find out.
i’d never heard of kill your boyfriend somehow. just went on ebay and bought it. thanks.
Awesome!
