Some Animal Man.

Two pages from when Animal Man met his maker, but first, an unrelated panel from the same trade:



The whole scene made me love the Crime Syndicate of America, but this panel in particular.

Recap: Animal Man has met his maker, who took him out and pitched him against some bad guys...so that he could run through his credits. Animal Man gets his arse kicked.





I love this whole trade. It really makes you think. :) (Apart from the Red Bee bit, which just made me feel sad. ._.)

So, what would you do if you found out your life was a comic, scansdaily?

I do like that Morrison depicted himself as a completely unsympathetic and pretentious jerk. I really do think he's more self aware than people give him credit for, and I appreciate that he's at least trying to say something with his work...Now if only he'd stop writing Batman, or at least stick to fun, trippy adventures with Bat-mite. Damian and Ace the Bathound can come along too.

Wonder why I got cheated out of a fantastically well endowed chest and then contemplate why my series hasn't been canceled.

Yes, I agree. A Mary-Sue would have been far more disturbing. o.O

Find Power Girl's weakness and steal hers. :D

Yeah , "depicted".....

He actually says out loud that his role is not that of a creator, but of a demiurge, someone who comes in afterward and ruins everything. (one of the earliest critiques, right in the heart of when it was in vogue, of "darkening" characters, which he had done with AM a few issues earlier) In fact, if you look at the whole issue, it's a restaging of the usual "villain reveals his evil plan" scene, with Morrison as villain.
