This is a comic book. It is not Faulkner, Joyce, Hawthorne, Milton or works by other similar writers that require the kind of research and understanding college level professors expect from their students when analyzing these works.
Both Morrison and this reviewer need to get their heads out of their collective asses and get back in touch with their audiences. Other companies that fail their target audiences like this suffer severe losses or even go out of business.
