Fantastic. I think Cherie is hilarious, she should do an autobiography if she hasn't already :) (Although the humor is not seen in the books I think she is funny on her site).
What a trippy and absolutely fantastic read! I was actually glad that my train was delayed (while I was sitting in it, mind you) so I got the chance to finish this tonight. I'm changing my rating of the first book from 4 to 5 because you really have to see this series as a whole and I just love it when (tiny!) stuff that comes up in the first couple of issues turns out to be all part of the big picture. Add to that that this is a really engaging story with great characters plus some animal rights activism and all the meta you could wish for and you have, well, Grant Morrison's Animal Man. There are also some really funny moments, and heartbreaking ones and mindblowing ones. The three volumes should definitely be read in one go, though, and I suppose knowledge of the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths would definitely help. "I saw another world and it was worse that this one. It was like I glimpsed heaven and... and it wasn't paradise. It was more like hell. What if God, or whoever it is, created us to be better than himself? What if God's reality... heaven, if you like... what if it's so bad that he had to imagine us to help make his life bearable?" "It's really over. God, I'm talking in clichés! That proves we're not characters in a story. No one would write such terrible dialogue..."
