![]() ![]() When you discover that the author was Grant Morrison (it was his first on-going series for a major publication) it becomes more understandable. ![]() ![]() So what exactly is Zenith? Well it's a 1987, "post Marvelman" superhero story played relatively straight which found itself a home in 2000AD, a UK anthology comic not noted for playing host to superheroes. Anyway, it's nice to have it in a swish hardcover that keeps the pages the same size as the original which as I pointed out in my look at DR and Quinch really makes the art pop in a way the reduced sized reprints seem to lack somehow. Actually I could have read it anytime, I own all the 2000AD progs with Zenith Phases 1, 2 and 3 in them but I am a lazy fuck and actually accessing them would require totally rearranging half my bedroom. But a year passed, and Phase One finally found it's way into my eager hands as a birthday gift pretty much a week after it's release. "Joy" I think to myself, "those will make perfect gifts for moi" then I noticed the dates attached were 2014 for Phases 1 and for Phase 3 *sad trombone*. Around this time last year (2013) I was browsing Amazon for gifts I'd like for Christmas and discovered that Phase's 1 to 3 had all been given release dates finally after a long time in rights hell. I've been waiting a long time for this collection. "See? What did I tell you? Never trust a hippy." - Zenith ![]()
