scrooge3 's review for:
DC Universe by Alan Moore
by Various, Alan Moore
Collected in this volume: Superman Annual #11, Detective Comics #549-550, Green Lantern #188, Vigilante #17-18, Omega Men #26-27, DC Comics Presents #85, Green Lantern Corps Annual #2, Secret Origins #10, Green Lantern Annual #3, Batman Annual #11, Superman #423, Action Comics #583, Wildstorm Spotlight #11, Voodoo #1-4, Deathblow #1-3, WILDC.A.T.S #50.
This is an incredibly mixed bag. The Superman stories "For the Man Who Has Everything" and "What Ever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" are classics. The Green Lantern tale "Mogo Doesn't Socialize" is a creative look at looking at situations from very different perspectives. The other superhero stories from the 1985-87 period are generally quite good. When the volume jumps to the Wildstorm stories from 1997-2000 (which I mostly skimmed over), the quality, both in writing and in artwork, goes to almost zero, with lots of explicit sex and violence. Moore can write moving stories that look at the dark side of life, but he is also prone to overwritten philosophical junk.
