And boy, did it SUCK!!!
Can we say “Rushed”? I’m so fucking pissed that DC cancelled the book because it’s one of the three comics I still bother to pick up, and it’s different from anything else I’d read before. I understand their reasons (well, about 10% understand, 90% "I can’t change it, oh well), but why’d they have to do it so soon? They took this great storyline, and in two issues, managed to go from full speed to screeching halt and didn’t even seem to give a shit. It took fucking five months for this issue to come out and it looks like something an eight year old could have written. Suddenly, everyone on the team is better. The big huge battle with their big huge arch-nemesis, took a whopping three pages, ended poorly, and the vengence they ennacted on him? Very piss poor for this gang of hard asses. Sure, turning Seth into a flock of chickens and leaving him to be sodomised by his siblings was pretty interesting, but I was expecting something a bit more long term and severe, especially after what they supposedly went through.
And what the fuck was up with that whole “Humanity got themselves into this mess, they can get themselves out” speach? One, that was lame in and of itself, but what was worse was the fact you don’t even see how humanity fixes the problem. It goes from “The universe is going to implode in a matter of hours, what will they do?” on one page, to “Well, I’m sure glad we managed to get out of that mess” the next page with no explaination.
Apolo and Midnighter’s wedding gets one fucking frame? If the series had continued, it would have gotten a full fucking issue. Giant sized even. But no, gotta hurry up and give everyone what they want in five minutes or less. It was crap.
And the artwork sucked ass, too.
I loved this book, but this last episode left me pissed. I never really liked DC, but now I like them less for destroying one of the few cool books out there that was fresh and incredibly fun to read. Anyone else pissed like me?
