Well, hello again, Morrison.

I know I reviewed a comic by them before and will probably do so a few more times in the future. In my defense, you can’t throw a stone into the comics world without somehow hitting them in the head twice. Not only were they part of the British invasion of comics back in the late eighties/early nineties, but they wrote for a couple heavyweight characters such as Batman, the X-men, and Superman.

They’re considered a controversial figure in the medium due to them shaking up long standing superhero relationships (romantic and otherwise), their surrealist takes on pretty much everything, and generally being considered bat**** crazy to the average reader. However, they’re one of the modern greats and a lot of fans hold them in high regard.

I like them.

Today I thought it would be neat to review two of their works that have been bundled into a hardback, for some reason, that I’m sure only ten people actually remember. Because that’s how you get more clicks on Medium, right? (Right?)

Alright, let’s dive in.

So, I am currently the owner of the hardback collection of Sebastian O and The Mystery Play, both written by Grant Morrison. Having read them before I got this, I was a little confused as to why they were put together. Yes, they were both published under Vertigo about a year apart from each other, but there’s no…
