White opposes black, God has the devil, there is the universe and the anti-universe, and the Tree of Life must grow roots beneath the dirt in what is called the “Tunnels of Set”. Just as there is an up, there is also a down. The minuscule White Valiant surveys the asteroid Xibalba At first, the story resembles a plot from a Michael Bay film, but a Grant Morrison story would never be so simple or definite, and Nameless left this comic book reader with unanswered questions about life beyond the physical world and feelings of shame because of his lack of knowledge for the esoteric dark arts and philosophy of ancient cultures. In Nameless, Morrison’s most recent miniseries from Image Comics, a super-group of astronauts and science-research specialists are sent into space to save the world from destruction by asteroid 62600, appropriately named Xibalba, before it collides with Earth. Comic book writers like Alan Moore ( Watchmen, V for Vendetta), Frank Miller ( The Dark Knight, Sin City), Warren Ellis ( The Authority, Transmetropolitan) and of course, the enigmatic and out-of-this-world Grant Morrison. Those writers whose stories have transcended the medium, providing readers with comic books that have gone beyond the conventional superhero or heroine fighting crime and saving the world from annihilation. There are comic books writers, then there are the gods of the comic book industry.
