You won’t be able to see every detail, but when you step back the big picture becomes clear. Embracing the confusion is just something you sign up for when you read Morrison. I think most of Morrison’s work is kind of hard to follow, and yet I am so invested when I read them. It is difficult to follow things in a chronological way because characters seem to disappear and reappear and talk at length about things that don’t really make sense. Scenes are disconnected and end abruptly. The characters in “Nameless” tend to speak in a natural way. I’ve read a lot of Grant Morrison’s work (“Animal Man”, “The Invisibles” “Flex Mentallo”) and I haven’t always understood it, but I’ve always found it endlessly intriguing, and meticulously plotted. Reading Grant Morrison is a lot like trying to see the hidden image in a stereograph: If you try to force yourself to see it you’ll strain your eyes and become frustrated, but if you have patience, work the muscles, learn to recognize patterns, and let go of the normal way you see things the true image will slowly start to present itself. “Nameless” #1 is unequivocally the kind of eery, dense, exotic experience that only the mind of Grant Morrison could provide. The creative power house behind the critically acclaimed “Batman Inc.” reunite to bring us one of the strangest, most inventive series you’ll ever have the good fortune to be consumed by.
