Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham's "Nameless" #1 has a slightly risky opening but with, the level of tension and suspense it creates, ultimately pays off.

not much hype for this on CBR.
Morrison seems like an outsider at Image.

Is this actually out yet? Guys at my local shop said it wasn't and they are usually pretty up on what's happening with comics.
If you are not reading Lazarus, you should be.

It's out February 4th. Can't wait to read it, looks really cool.
Anyone else who read Morrison's Annihilator?

I'm reading Annihilator and am also really looking forward to Nameless as well.

Loving Annihilator. Can't wait for this. Morrison is my favourite writer. Originally Posted by borntohula

I think Annihlator is the best thing that Grant's written in years. I wasn't too keen on the first issue, but the series has really changed as it's progressed. Last issue changed the game completely. Even if it's usual Morrison themes of creativity and reality, he's showing that he still has something new to say about them, even if it gets into some disturbing territory. A great companion to Flex Mentallo and The Filth.

It's certainly the best creator owned thing from Morrison in years, absolutely. Loving Annihilator; from what I saw of the first script for Nameless, it's even better, and I'm not really a horror guy.
A bit rough that Annihilator isn't getting the attention (I feel) it deserves. Even if you don't like the various "Morrison-isms" (I have to laugh at the use of the sad teddy again, but damn if it's not effective!), it's gorgeous and wickedly funny.

I'm waiting on some good annotations for Annihilator, because as much as I'm enjoying it - as with most of Morrison's works there are hidden layers and subtexts that I completely missed the first time around.

Picked this up today, looking great, going to give it a second read to properly take it in as in typical morrison style there's a lot going on
Anyone else onboard?Last edited by Mick Turpin; 02-05-2015 at 03:38 PM.

I ALWAYS recommend reading any Morrison interviews on the story of his you're reading. You just hit up Google and you're gonna find some. He did a number of 'em for Annihilator. I read em and print em up and put em with the trade. Originally Posted by Sharkey
