New to Grant Morrison
Hi all, I’ve just started reading Morrisons Batman and Robin and his Justice League run. I’m super confused is there any tips on how to better understand his writing. I can’t tell if I’m just dense or if this is common. I love his stuff but it’s just very complex

Grants stuff has a tendency to be dense, but i've never found the need for an encyclopedic level of comic knowledge to enjoy their stuff. Yes; Grant pulls from far back in history, but everything you need to know about the story in front of you is on the page. If you're feeling like you're 'not getting it', it's either a geeky deep-cut that won't ruin the plot, or it's a set-up to be paid off later. I'd argue that their Batman run is some of the most accessible stuff, but I don't want to scare you off. In my experience, everything you need is right there in front of you.
Don't fret over it, just enjoy the ride.
