The Multiversity by Grant Morrison

4.0

After my third re-read of this, I realize it's really more of a 3.5 star book, but I'll round up to four because of the re-introduction of Captain Carrot to the DC Universe, no matter how 'roided up they decided to depict him (which was especially weird since the rest of the Zoo Crew looked basically the same). The story and art throughout were both super fun, but, no spoilers, that ending was ridiculously anticlimactic and, in my opinion, just kind of dumb. Fun, but dumb. Some props have to be given for the Multiversity Guidebook that showed up as part of the story because it was a fascinating dissemination of information presented in an accessible and interesting way, and definitely sparked the imagination. I'm not a huge Grant Morrison fanboy, but this is worth the read regardless of whether you like him or not because the strong story-telling makes up for the lackluster ending. And the ending wasn't all out horrible or anything, but rather it was just a little 'meh' from all of the build-up that led up to it.
