I hope to read some of it over the holiday weekend (I'm skipping the chapters "Providentialism and Political Religion: Zack Snyder's MAN OF STEEL" and the one on NBC's CONSTANTINE, though).

I'm sure I'll blab about it somewhere, either here or on my blog, after I do so.

Indeed, HOW Grant Morrison-y is it? Well, the index has 18 entries for Morrison.

What DC writers might you expect to be represented in such a book? Well Jack Kirby has only 7, Mark Waid 6, John Byrne and Keith Giffen 5 apiece, Alan Moore and J.M. DeMatteis 4, Geoff Johns and Neil Gaiman 3.

THEOLOGY AND THE DC UNIVERSE editors Gabriel McKee and Roshan Abraham sure seem to be Grant Morrison fans. Of the 15 contributions, there are ones on Morrison's DOOM PATROL, ANIMAL MAN, FINAL CRISIS and the JLA arc "Rock of Ages".

Thanks so much!

(Actually, I think the reason the batarang is in his teeth is to free up his clawed hands to gesture spookily, as Jones' Batman so often does...)

Oh, yeah, the spread depicts a possible future, wherein there’s a fairy vs, vampire war, with superheroes caught in the middle.

Oh, could be! I thought the mystery character was wearing a mask, but I guess that could be that weird green visor she sometimes has colored wrong… 🤔

Lucky for Doctor Face his expressions are always inscrutable.

I honestly don't think "masterpiece" is too strong a word for Ostrander and Mandrake's SPECTRE.

If you can afford it, buy it. And if you can't, ask your local library to buy a copy and then check it out.

I'm really looking forward to the second volume.
