Seriously DC – WTF?

Apparently this was a hacker friend of Babs’, Jason.

Glad I read a synopsis instead of buying it.

I don’t think that’s worse than Superboy Prime dismembering D-list heroes.

Blue: misread your reply. I thought you said the friends name was Jason. Cause I’m idiotic.

Thankfully, the artist and colorist rendered the blood and bits of meat as the same, consistent substance. Hence, the kiddos out there will assume the “victim” wasn’t a real person, but a person-shaped vessel containing lots of yummalicious jam.

So… how does this asploded head end in Babs walking, and being Batgirl again?

bunnyofdooom: I thought Blue was saying the unheaded individual in question was named Jason, too.

Don’t worry, I’m sure DC will find a way to un-unhead this person eventually.

I guess they saw that Ultimatum stuff and wanted on the pointless super violence train, too.

Matt- Like Ultimatum started this. DC’s been all graphic violence, all the time for several years now.

Cordialatron: Very nice. The twisted effect on Max’s neck is a very good touch.

(I’m assuming that the goofy lady by Ray Palmer was Jean Loring?)

Jason said on March 26th, 2009 at 2:34 am

Thanks, BluePard.

Who wrote this? I should’ve known something would be her with Babs showing cleavage on the covers of her miniseries. Wake me when Gail Simone writes her again.

I did too, at first. For I am idiotic as well.

So… how does this asploded head end in Babs walking, and being Batgirl again?

Jason’s brain juice has curative properties, I bet.

Apparently the RIAA is not kidding around with copy protection.

ROFL!

Someone wake me when DC is writing good stories again.

Blackest Night doesn’t count. Because Hal’s going to have every color ring available, this much is becoming rather obvious.

mygif
Zenrage said on March 26th, 2009 at 5:56 am

Of course. In order to stop the Black Lanterns they’re going to need a White Lantern – which is formed through the use of every other colored ring. And when the bad guy behind the Black Lanterns reveals one final gambit and shatters the awesome and obviously angelic power of the White Lantern, the Green Lanterns will re-emerge and save the universe.

blah, blah, blah.

I remember seeing a tabloid once that said “Hackers can make your computer EXPLODE.” Apparently they were not going far enough.

The true danger is Second Life making your HEAD explode.

HAL will re-emerge and save the universe, you mean. I got into GL around Sinestro Corps War but it’s increasingly becoming Johns battering me over the head with how AWESOME the Silver Age (and especially Hal, who everyone loves and is Space Jesus and never even thought something nasty, EVER) was and it’s getting tiring.

Am I the only one who misread it is “Oracle: Battle for the Cow!”, a very exciting and dynamic story about disputed farm animals who apparently have extreme psionic abilities?

Cookie,

I read it the same way. It was the best double take I’ve had so for this year!

“battering me over the head with how AWESOME the Silver Age (and especially Hal, who everyone loves and is Space Jesus and never even thought something nasty, EVER) was and it’s getting tiring.”

How come it’s only tiring when a writer does it, and not all of the jacktards who say shit like, ‘wake me when DC’s writing good stories again like when I was a kid!’

Lister Sage said on March 26th, 2009 at 3:12 pm

Andrew W: I would think because most if not all fans say shit like that and you can ignore them, but when one of those guys becomes the writer it’s a lot harder to dismiss him.

Peter David will eat your soul for this.

Although he didn’t write this particular book.

Sadly I saw this too late to prevent myself from buying the damn thing.

When a totally gratuitous shower scene is more interesting than anything else in the book, something has gone wrong.

Bret said on March 26th, 2009 at 5:05 pm

Notice the shirt.
Costra Nostra?

Obviously, Oracle’s pal was too slow at pizza delivery for Uncle Enzo’s tastes.

mygif
Polychrome said on March 26th, 2009 at 5:08 pm

@Bret: Yeah, for what ever reason, the artist left off the “pizza delivery” part that was on her shirt throughout the rest of the comic.

Because they are morons who I can ignore, while Johns is a good writer who is turning a damn good series into a boring lovefest. (Basically what Lister Sage said).
