Is Seven Soldiers really good? I mean both the writing and the art? I'm really tempted by this one...

I remember really enjoying the art, and the story too but I think it may of got a bit confusing at the end or it may just be my age and I lost track and forgotten how it ended

Is Seven Soldiers really good? I mean both the writing and the art? I'm really tempted by this one...

I love this series but I love Morrison in general. It's a weird series tho, it's not one long story but rather seven 4 issue mini series about each character with two bookend issues drawn by J. H. Williams (who is probably the best artist in the industry right now)
The first issue sets up the overall story then all the minis are about the individual characters but each has a tie to the bigger story that's going on in the background. In the last issue you get a resolution but don't expect a big team up in the conventional way, the premise of the series is basically " a superhero team that never was".
But I think that's why it's so good and unlike anything else out there. The two bookend issues are might be a bit confusing at first but everything is there on the page you just have to pay attention (Morrison wrote much more confusing books).
The art is different in every mini but all of them are great on their own right (I'm not the biggest fan of Frazer Irving but he is still a great artist)...except for Mister Miracle. Pasqual Ferry left after the first issue and the guy after him was reeeeallly bad IMO. That mini is probably the weakest point of the series and it's more a prelude to Final Crisis than part of 7SoV.

But overall I think it's a very rich experience, might not be for everyone especially because the pay off is not as straight forward as I think most people would like it but if you are open to Morrison's storytelling it's well worth a shot.

Which Morrison titles (exept the superhero stories like Batman or Final crisis) would you recommend? And why?

Which Morrison titles (exept the superhero stories like Batman or Final crisis) would you recommend? And why?

depends on what you are looking for. I think his more easy to digest stuff are We3 or Happy! if you don't mind violence) or Joe the Barbarian. They are very creative, short and have good emotional beats but don't go overboard with the disjointed storytelling that's the biggest issues for most people (usually).
I really enjoy his weirder, harder to decipher books like the Filth or especially The Invisibles. They can be challenging and hard to understand at first but, at least for me, they've really paid off at the end. Also they can be super gross, especially The Filth.
Not sure if you would count it as superheroes since it's Vertigo but Doom Patrol is highly recommended and I would say check out Klaus, it's a fun ride and the art is beautiful but it's quite Christmas themed story so you might want to wait until the season hits.
Also there is Flex Mentallo which is not an easy read and it's very meta and sort of superhero related ( I mean it's about superheroes but not about the DC universe).
There are still some I haven't read (Sebastian O, Vinanarama, etc) and some not very well known superhero series he wrote like Marvel Boy which I really enjoyed. Depends really what you are looking for, people like to put him in a box but he has a couple of different styles.

I think I'm liking BATMAN BY GRANT MORRISON OMNIBUS VOL. 1 HC. The Ra's resurrection recap by Burnham may prove to be a good idea.

Burnham's recap might mean DC will listen to Burnham about Vol 2's order, which I know DC is aware of Burnham's order.

I wonder if Final Crisis will be addressed in Vol 2.
