Morrison is right about Watchmen though. It is extraordinarily heavy-handed in its authorial presence and that makes it tiring to read.

Claremont run on Uncanny X-Men and Byrne run on Man of Steel? Frank Miller deconstructing the genre in his own way? Fucking THE INVISIBLES?!?!? There were a lot of good books in that era. Watchmen got famous for reasons I still don't understand. It's good, but it's not that good

7 years actually (1987 vs 1994) and I agree with you, but I do classify them both as being broadly part of the same era, with Watchmen being the height of that era and Invisibles being the end of it. Watchmen is good. Invisibles is great. This is the hill I will die on.

Invisibles is hella composite and uneven but it certainly contains greatness Moore's done a lot for us but he never invented Anonymous
