Grant Morrison JLA question?

[mrc1214]

I was just wondering what number he worked on JLA till? I looked in Overstreet and it didnt say. And is his whole run worth picking up??

JLA #1-41. He also did work on the DC One Million mini-series which spun out of JLA, and did the graphic novel JLA: Earth 2. All were very good in my opinion.

He pretty much made JLA a top seller with his way of handling it ... which was the best heroes in DC doing what they do best, saving the world. Every issue. Not much in the way of character development ... some small things here and there, all in all, a very fun and exciting ride.

Definitely worth picking up.

Also JLA: Classified 1-3

it's a prequal to his Seven Soldiers of Victory project.

It is not yet collected in TPB

It should be pointed out that Morrison didn't do every issue from 1-41. Mark Millar wrote the Every JLAer Ever Vs. Amazo issue, Mark Waid wrote the Adam Strange two-parter and the Seven Soldiers of Synchronicity two-parter, and Christopher Priest wrote the issue where the Big Seven start recruiting people like Zauriel and the New Gods.

I'm currently reading it now. I'm on the third trade, and it's been really good so far. I didn't much like the story before The Key storyline, but other than that I've got no complaints.

It's very good, but like all runs it has its high and low points. The best stories are New World Order (the first) and Rock of Ages (though you have to read it very slowly and carefully). Morrison's characterization of Kyle Rayner is still the best he's ever been portrayed, in my opinion. And Batman just kicks ass.
