I don't know if I'd go all the way to awesome but this was a much better read. It had the required amount of Morrison craziness in it where it wasn't all clear exactly what was going on all the time and I know I didn't "get" all the references that were made, but it was good and you're 100% right on Morrison. I don't care if he throws in his usual craziness but add that to a good story instead of crazy just for crazy's sake and then everyone can be satisfied.
Well that depends on if you're a completist or not. If you want to have a full run, then you keep buying otherwise it's a bit tough to say. The current issue of Batman was much better than RIP although I wasn't crazy about the current issue of Detective. I'm looking forward to the Neil Gaiman two parter and then both series are going on hiatus while they do the Battle for the Cowl. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to bother with that or just pick up with Batman and 'Tec when they resume.
