In these issues, Morrison and Porter indulge Grant’s fetish for putting new takes on old favorites, and using the most esoteric and arcane characters. We see the return of Professor Ivo and T. O. Morrow, the creators of Red Tornado, a villain unfortunately named “The Taint,” and appearances by Max Mercury, Damage, Aztek, Steel, Artemis III and even Hitman! Lots of fun, lots of weirdness, classic Morrison.
And it’s all building to the next story, a huge arc with alternate timelines and lots of pure Grant.
