Talk:The Writer (DC Comics)/@comment-34175916-20180103211654

I believe "the writer" is more of a role to be filled rather than a person with a specific identity. After Grant Morrison's (the author of the comic) appearance in Animal Man as The Writer, he is then considered to be in the comic book world. He later appears in suicide squad #58 which is written by another author. He explains that since he inserted himself into the comic book world, a new writer now controls his fate. Shortly after, he is eaten by a werewolf. This means that Grant Morrison is only temporarily the omniscient being known as "The Writer". It appears as though whenever a writer inserts themselves into a comic (if it were to happen again in the future) they are no longer omniscient, nor are they still known as The Writer.
