![]() ![]() ![]() I’m always a fan of Grant Morrison-style references to the creator of the universe being the actual comic book writers and artists. While I wasn’t a fan of the art in this one-shot aside, the ideas were a lot of fun. Colonel Weird even briefly glimpses his own creator while on the run from Anti-God. For a variety of reasons, these heroes and villains never made it to print, stuck in the minds of their creators. ![]() Colonel Weird finds himself in the realm of ideas that never came to be. The prophecy said that if they came back, Anti-God would return and destroy everything. Reality appears to have collapsed the moment the heroes returned to their universe. The continuity reboot also gets examined as we see what happens when our heroes forget who they were and have to rediscover their heroic identities. He plays with the metafiction of writing superhero comics, revealing a world where ideas never came to fruition. What makes someone a hero? A colorful costume? A suite of superpowers? A catchy name? Jeff Lemire brings us a story about the ultimate sacrifice to give up your life and hopes to save the rest of reality.
