Morrison had been working for assorted publishers for several years without being. 2014 by Grant Morrison (Author), Steve Yeowell (Author) 115 ratings Book 1 of 4: Zenith See all formats and editions Kindle Edition £9.99 Read with Our Free App Hardcover £15. Yeowell’s art is serviceable, doing the job in that busy, realistic style of ’80s comics. Zenith was a game changer for both Grant Morrison and 2000AD in 1987. Zenith: Phase One (Zenith, 1) Hardcover 23 Oct. He’s surrounded by the people and the plots that a superhero contends against. Morrison’s script is no-nonsense-though the scenario is similar to that of Watchmen, its brimming with action thanks to its original short, serialized form. Zenith is in the place where a superhero should be. But when Nazi superhero Masterman threatens to destroy the planet, Zenith may be forced into action. He does some nice worldbuilding in this tale of the last superhero, who is more interested in being a pop star than mussing himself up saving the world. Morrison ( Final Crisis, Doom Patrol) created Zenith, a “realistic” superhero, back in the late ’80s to run in the magazine 2000AD, and ownership disputes kept the comic in the attic until now.

If you are looking for a formula here, it’s not too hard to find. ![]()
