Vimanarama uses a lot of Morrison’s most well-worn ideas: meta-story, breaking the “fourth wall”, the power of words, secret societies, and crazy quasi-superhero action. But as tired as some of those ideas can be to people who’ve read a lot of Morrison, in this series, more often than not they work. This miniseries is part Kirby, and part Indian & Hindu mythology, and it reads well on the surface level as well as when you delve a little deeper. A lot of the energy that drives the story comes not from Morrison’s crazy scripts, but Philip Bond’s artwork. Sometimes cartoony, Bond really has a solid grip on each of the characters and makes panels that are full of dialogue really crackle. It’s not my favourite of Morrison’s 3 Vertigo miniseries (I like We3 and Seaguy a little more than this one), but it’s still good.
