![]() ![]() (Everyone knows too much exposition is a bad thing, especially in comics, but sometimes Morrison’s scripts practically throb for more explanation.)īut over the next four issues, as Morrison’s intent became more and more clear, Nameless became more and more interesting. The quick start perhaps wouldn’t have been as big of a problem if Morrison weren’t in his hyper-frustrating opaque mode, refusing to offer much by way of explanation for anything on the page. The story opened in media res, with a nameless dabbler in the supernatural - well, to be specific, his name is Nameless - being recruited to fend off the asteroid Xibalba. It’s a pity that Nameless didn’t start off very well. That’s about as high concept as you can get, and if Morrison is nothing else, he’s fundamentally skilled at high concept. Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham’s comic Nameless is on its fifth issue this week, but it wasn’t until this issue that the premise of the series really hit home for me: it’s Armageddon, only the asteroid is haunted. ![]()
