Holy shit talk about Meta, and talk about doing it RIGHT.

Most time Meta is done for jokes. and it works (See Gwenpool) However, this Meta talks about the dark take comics were taking in the 80s and how we used characters to almost torture them for our entertainment. It's a dark take on dark takes, but works so well as Buddy goes through the fucking ringer here in this volume. Losing everything and trying to get it back, it's done in such a way I can't help but love.

A 5 out of 5. Morrison's best work I read since WE3.
