A review by johnnyideaseed
Marvel Boy by Grant Morrison, J.G. Jones

3.0

A pre-9/11 book that seems weirdly prescient in retrospect. There are a lot of good ideas in it, although they are occasionally undermined by a slightly puerile desire to shock. It reminds me, of all things, of Kirby’s OMAC series: ideas are introduced and discarded with that sort of frenetic speed, and it’s honestly thrilling. And you aren’t ever going to be able to convince me that Hex Corp — the parasitic living corporation! — doesn’t actually exist.
