Nameless 2 grant morrison6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If nothing else, these quieter moments allowed for the insane violence and robot space dragon fight to really shine. Morrison has some of the best prose in the business but this thing was just too dense. Morrison wouldn’t be analogizing any scientific controversies would he?Īs much as I love Burnham’s frames it couldn’t quite keep me engaged with the endless chit chat that took up the bulk of the book. Yet some of the crew is skeptical about Nameless’ abilities and expertise. I guess they decided they were out of their league when one of their best and brightest started taking off heads and writing bloody words on the wall in angel language. So Nameless’ purpose becomes pretty clear when he meets the rest of the team tasked with saving earth from a heavenly asteroid: he is the occultist expert there to protect them from whatever manner of cooky space deities that support the asteroids cause to destroy all life on Earth. I wanted to lead with that because like all Grant Morrison books you are either in or you’re out, and I am so definitely in. “Nameless” #2 is 20 pages of high-concept round table discussion of celestial warfare bookended by cannibalistic body horror…on the moon. ![]()
