I enjoyed the Demon King! It was a quick paced read, and I liked the realism in the dialouge and character interaction. The author really captures a society where there are best and worst in very class, creed and color and I am excited to see how the interpersonal relationships develop in the series. I wish there was a little more background into Han's history, but I can see that his story as streetlord are a separate tale in and of itself. I enjoyed Raisa's sense of independence, but also her recognition of what she should be and what she should be providing to her people. While the magic against might story conflict is a bit tired in fantasy writing, I enjoyed the inclusion of types of magic and people reminicient of the native American cultures and also druidism. I am looking forward to the continuation and conclusion of this series.
Supergods is a great history and analysis of comic books. Morrison does a great job of weaving his own experiences with comic books and his eventual entry into the industry in the book. Maybe reviews have confused the autobiographical portions as being merely autobiographical. In reality what he's still doing the history and analysis thing, but presenting it from an insiders perspective. Even his anecdotes that seem to have nothing to do with comics or their history are eventually related back to the main themes of the piece (ie. the title). Without giving too much away, I'll say that Morrison breaks down each era of comics (golden, silver...), then breaks them down even further into their respective decades. He examines the major themes in each era and relates them back to historical attitudes and views of the period. This approach may sound dry but Morrison's confidence and expertise as a writer really shine in these moments. Overall, this is the sort of book anyone with a passing interest in the history of comics should read. I only have a passing knowledge of Morrison's writing in comics, but he is a definitely a writer with a lot to say.
