The Multiversity by Grant Morrison
4.0
I'm not really a Grant Morrison fan, but after hearing some good things about this, not to mention my life-long fascination with the Multiverse and DC Continuity in general, I decided to give this a try and was not disappointed. The story held all the way through and stayed relatively cohesive considering the subject matter, the art of each story was perfect for the mood and tone those chapters were trying to convey, and if I'm being totally honest, this was a big fun read! No spoilers, and I'm sure there are many who will differ, but that ending was unexpected and classic - hilarious!
My only real gripe with the entire thing is to ask why Captain Carrot was drawn like a steroid-guzzling, muscle-bound freak and I would have preferred his original cartoony self, instead. Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew was one of my favourite comics growing up (come on, I was eight!), and hearing he was in Multiversity was a huge draw for me to read it, so I would have preferred seeing him as my furry old friend from the 1980's, but that's really just nit-picking, I suppose.
