Grant Morrison

Just finished reading Batman : R.I.P. by Morrison. I have read most of morrison's stuff , the notable exception being Invisibles and SeaGuy. Invisibles isn't available in any library and it doesn't seem to be something I want to own. R.I.P. left me with the same feeling I have when I read most of Morrison works, brilliant for the most part but ultimately there isn't a satisfying conclusion. However there are almost always moments of such excellence that make the whole experience worth the time and money. In R.I.P. there is a moment when Batman (of zur en arrh) asks Batmite "Are you really a magical imp from the 5th dimension or are you a figment of my imagination" . Batmite replies "Imagination is the 5th dimension. Some world's greatest detective you are' . For a line like that , I'd buy the entire book. Elegant and new.
A common feature of most of Morrison's work is that there is always something new , some experiment or the other. Not all work , Not all I understand, but I'm happy he tries.
