I like Grant Morrison's Batman. I also like Paul Dini's Batman. I did not realize until a couple days ago that these were mutually exclusive. Oops.
And if you add in the works I enjoy by Geoff Johns, then I become some sort of fandom temporal disturbance...

I agree that it's better to read stories because you enjoy them, not to make some sort of statement against other stories.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I enjoy both Morrison's X-Men and Chris Claremont's X-Men, as well.
I know, I know, different strokes for different folks, and all that; what I hadn't realized is that there are apparently Dini Camps and Morrison Camps on certain sectors of the Interwebs. And they don't agree on a damn thing, obviously. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteWhat's worst is when fans claim to know the personal motives of the writers, and actually imply that they don't like each other and are writing adversarially. I've seen plenty of speculation by X-Fans of writers trying to diss Grant Morrison, even when said writers give open compliments to Morrison's works.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that for most of these authors, they're too busy worrying about doing a good job on their assignment and earning a paycheck than instilling some sort of in-continuity rivalry. ( Except for Morrison and Alan Moore's long-standing rivalry, and even that seems more like petty fun than anything else ).
