Grant Morrison has two modes: thrillingly bonkers and tediously bonkers. Thankfully, Kid Eternity is the former (see his Green Lantern run for the latter). In the first few pages alone an abstract painting comes to life to murder partygoers and the titular Kid summons a knight and a 30s gangster (complete with tommy gun) to fight it. The art by Duncan Fegredo is mesmerising, evoking Dave McKean's work in Morrison's Arkham Asylum.
