As the discussion spawned by Robert Kirkman’s recent call to arms somehow morphs into an argument about who has done more to hurt comics, Grant Morrison delivers his own sermon on the subject: I suppose I’m slightly amused by the reformer’s zeal with which each new generation approaches the problem of ’saving’ comics.
