I might be the only one who thinks Morrison is overrated.

No, I feel the same. He's had some classic runs (JLA, Animal Man), but most of his stuff over the last decade hasn't been great to me (Final Crisis, Batman).

I also never could get into All Star Superman, but I know that's one of the most beloved Superman stories.

I only read the Darkseid story he did in JLA (Rock of Ages?). It was all right.

FC was wack. The idea was all right, but the execution was meh.

Batman was whatever. I didn't read the Batman and Robin series tho.

Loved All star. Don't care for anything else he has done. Snyder is a better Batman writer than he is. Batman and Robin was good but not enough to offest the Batman RIP garbage.

Immortal Hulk has me friending for more, one of two series that has actually caught me in terms of recent years instead of me waiting for completed sets.

Also X-Men Red is flames, but I'm getting tired of Cassandra Nova tbh. Was never that a fan of that villain.

Reading 2/3 of this Justice Leagues mini-series. The world forgets about the OG League, so each member creates their own version. Fun stuff.

What the hell is happenin' in Batman comics where he considering Joker for his best man?

I'm way behind

The Joker found out that Batman is getting married and goes on a killing spree because he didn't get an invite

I heard Jokes And Riddles was amazing and one of my favorite artists is on it

I might just skip this, tho

Jokes and Riddles is a bit over rated, imo. I liked the Booster Gold arc much better even though I thought the ending was a bit weak.
I'm on the fence with the marriage arc. Sometimes I find myself struggling to read though some of Tom Kings writing. I did like the DC Nation Joker story and this current issue a lot though

I thought it was just me, and I have several of his works (Omega Men, Vision, the first five trades of this Batman run).

You should give it a look...Tom King is nailing the Joker's psychotic obsession with Batman and how the idea of Batman getting married is making his crazy ass go even further over the edge.

I have found that most of King's work reads better collected than as single issues.
His Batman is probably the first time that his monthly stuff has really worked for me. Even as much as I love The Vision that book is so much better as a graphic novel than it was as a monthly book.
