I do hope we get a series inspired by the classic El Santo movies.

I feel like Priest's Deathstroke has been losing a lot of the weird family drama that I liked so much in the beginning in favor of putting Slade in wacky gimmick situations.

I liked the Arkham arc. The panel where the fake Deadpool guy accidentally ray guns himself in the face is amazing.

Oh yeah, it's still an enjoyable read and I'm not about to drop it or anything. I just can't help but feel like the book is starting to drift away from what I was interested in about it. I guess it's ending soon anyway. Also, not sure what to think of using Granny Goodness and the Furies of all characters to make a pro feminist comic out of, but I feel like it mostly works?  This is a pretty good page.

Yeah it lost me back at that pretty dismal Titans crossover and the bits and pieces I've seen since haven't impressed me much. That said I guess kudos to Priest for getting me to enjoy the previous parts of a Deathstroke book because I usually hate him.

I think Lazarus Contract is probably the worst thing Priest has ever been involved with.

Yeah. The arcs following are WAY better. I'm quite worried about it pretty much closing out with another Titans crossover, though.

I guess it's ending soon anyway. It's definitely trying to make a statement though idk if using those characters in that setting gels at all with their preexisting incarnations. For example, the Superman TAS depictions of Granny has her as a proper maternal figure to Darkseid rather than as a peer/object of lust. That Darkseid even demonstrates a sexual attraction for anyone is also a bit OOC and him having children is always left as an exercise for the audience to think about and proceed to ignore.

The whole "talent exhibition" thing of the Furies feels like it should be part of an Amanda Conner comic and not part of whatever this comic is supposed to be.

I'm reading Morrison's Doom Patrol run because of the TV show and it's just wonderful. I can't get over how much I adore 80's DC.

When he fucks it is with three billion dicks When he nuts it is with six billion testicles Shameful edit: paraphrasing Final Crisis if you haven't read it Also remember that Darkseid once had his own personal pimp/pornographer New God, Sleez, but I won't say any more because that was the beginning of the end for the good 12 months of Byrne Superman

Sleez is an atrocious character and everything involving him should go swiftly down the memory hole, but yeah, technically it's canon that he was so nasty and gross even Apokolips didn't want him. So he and went and lived in a sewer on Earth, as you do.

Female Furies is weird for a number of reasons, but primarily (at least as of the first issue) that it really gives the vibe of :clap: HIRE :clap: MORE :clap: WOMEN :clap: TORTURERS Based only on the first issue, by front-loading the sexism and misogyny as the main problem, it glosses over that Apokalips is a genocidal death cult dictatorship that wants to enslave the universe. Granny Goodness is frustrated that she's not given the proper credit for backstabbing regicide, and that her wards aren't allowed to serve at a high level even though they can brutally murder dissidents and wipe out entire cultures just as well as the men. If you told the same story with (say) the Injustice League at least there'd be some wiggle room for some plot beats about how Giganta is more concerned with taking care of henchpeople and their families than Luthor, or that Catwoman doesn't immediately try to solve every problem with mass murder like Joker seems to, you could put some sort "the lesser of two evils" gloss on the message. When the dichotomy is "we all want to brutally crush countless billions, but I would never make someone do a swimsuit competition!" I really don't know what the book is going for.

Wait didn't DC already rip off Marvel Zombies with Blackest Night? Was the GL flavor too distancing? And Cyborg is the protagonist here? Boy that's a lot of whiffs in one pitch.

In all honesty, it's pretty crazy that when Jimmy Olsen was dealing with New Gods stuff was probably the most sane, stable time in his entire life.
