But nonetheless, even when he was "still young" he'd created an incredible number of entirely new books that he encouraged other writers to continue when he was done. Books that weren't just spinoffs or revamps. Morrison has created something like that only once, and he ended up killing the character.
This does not mean Morrison is not a phenomenal comic writer. He totally is.
It just means that comparing him to Kirby is pretty fucking stupid.
Kirby was also primarily an artist. Morrison can't draw all that well. Does that mean Grant sucks balls? No, it just means he's not like Kirby in another big way.
