This entry was posted in Uncategorized on Decemby george. The weight is too much for any lap! But the experience of reading JLA GRANT MORRISON OMNIBUS was terrific! If you have a friend who loves comic books and graphic novels, JLA GRANT MORRISON OMNIBUS would make a perfect gift! Did you read comic books when you were a kid? What was your favorite? GRADE: A I had to rest the JLA GRANT MORRISON OMNIBUS on the Dining Room table to read it. And at over 1500 pages, there are a lot of stories! The artwork and color is fabulous! But the stories of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern and all the other members of the Justice League of America are fun to read. I didn’t know the JLA GRANT MORRISON OMNIBUS existed until I read about in on Rick Robinson’s blog. JLA GRANT MORRISON OMNIBUS weighs in at 8 pounds, 1504 pages, and a list price of $150.
