I hate to treat Grant Morrison like the font of all that is modern mainstream (DC) comics, but reading today's Flash I realized that the new Zoom is basically the in-world version of Morisson's depiction of himself in Animal Man. If that sentence baffles you, then suffice it to say that Zoom's motivation as a villain is to do horrible things to Flash in order to make him a "better hero." This, as a plot device, is eerily similar to when good ol' Grant wrote himself into his own comic and explained to the hero that all of the horrible things that happened to him (like the brutal murder of his family) were simply so Grant could tell a better story.

In other comics news: OMAC Project is really cool, and makes me wish they would collect Rucka's Detective run all on its own, and I'm not going to buy Green Lantern. No more buying issues of decompressed books. This may spell the end for Teen Titans as well.
