understanding flex mentallo

[spidervenom]

I Just finished the flex mentallo mini for the first time. I thought it was an interesting story, but of course (since it's morrison) I am having some confusion or stuff about the story. I mean what is like the deep complex stuff and narrative or whatever.

Wow - wish I could read that. Flex Mentallo is hard to get a hold of :(

Oh, but I don't have an answer to your question. But your obviously a bit confused, so clearly it was one of Morrison's better stories :D

I think, comparatively, to some of the stuff that comes out today, from Morrison and others, it's fairly easy to understand. But when it came out, it was ahead of it's time.

can you be specific about what left you confused?

Im pretty fine now. Ever since I posted I read some articles on the subtext of flex mentallo.The only question I have is, was the adult wally sage on the same earth as flex or a different one completely.

Grant Morrison supposedly takes drugs and his hallucinations somehow are all comicbook related! Thus he wrote a comic about Grant taking drugs and making a comic while writing a comic and taking drugs. Now it's rare thus everyone thinks it actually means anything. The best thing about it is that I made 150$ selling this crap years later.

You're on top form today Martin!

I really liked it; like it. It's about a guy learning to trust himself.
all the rest is apocryphal.

HERO OF THE BEACH!!!

Besides... just think about how Morrison took an absolutely nothing character-- a nearly-nameless loser IN AN AD and built not merely a story around him, but built him into a character who could appear anywhere in his DCU. Well, anywhere weird, of course.
