A review by unladylike
The Multiversity by Grant Morrison
3.0
2.5 stars, overall, really.
There were a few enjoyable stories sprinkled throughout this ... Thing. The art was consistently beautiful. I actually got the most into the Guidebook to the 52 Earths section in the middle, which brought me back to my adolescent days of collecting Marvel trading cards and making up stories in my head based on the descriptions, stats, and profiles of various characters I had never actually read stories about. In that sense, my imagination did the most interesting things when Grant Morrison wasn't actually forcing meta-nonsense down my throat.
The High Concept bookend chapters of this book were such a mess, I found myself just shaking my head at Morrison's inability to convey his thoughts and theories in an effective way.
