Wait, wait, wait. Hold up a second. I haven't had a chance to read Injustice yet, but I've seen a few scans that people have put in the thread.

That's Batgirl handing him the pill, right?

The pill that has the same effect as one Lex Luther developed?

Lex Luther, who just a few issues ago, revealed that he knew batman's secret and wanted to team up with him?

This is a long con by Lex, isn't it? He's supplying weapons to both sides, giving Superman enough rope to hang himself with while also arming the forces against him. drat, I need to start catching up in this series, because I have the feeling it's going to lead to one hell of a payoff.

If Lex Luthor offers you super powers, refuse:

This is honestly a good way to describe the first couple issues. The only thing to change is:
Issue 2: Thor wakes up. Is pissed.

There's a poem in Edda called Þrymskviða that's about Thor. The opening line is:
Vreiðr var þá Vingþórr
er hann vaknaði

This literally translates into:
Pissed was Thor when he awoke.

Because while Schadenfreude can be fun sometimes, reveling in it too much is incredibly unhealthy.

And the whole point of Punisher Max is that Frank is a broken person who can only respond with violence. He even admit that while what he does in Slavers might be cathartic it won't do anything to solve the problem.

To atone for my role in that debacle I offer some badass. Here's Batwoman, Wonder Woman and Hawkfire (Batwoman's cousin Bette Kane) punching sleepover mainstay Bloody Mary (who is of course made of a living mirror) into pieces, and using a shard of her shattered face to show Medusa her own reflection and turn her to stone.

And then without missing a beat she proposes to her girlfriend:

(This is also a good point to stop reading the Batwoman comic because shortly after this the series devolves into softcore vampire porn)

Barracuda was loving awesome, you just have to realize that arc was actually about corporate malfeasance, not Barracuda. I didn't like the second time he showeed up in Punisher MAX though.

It also have Frank telling a rape victim to man up. The story was so bad that even Frank was reluctant to be a part of it.

I would not want my name attached to that cover, but apparently Adam Warren, Hector Sevilla Lujan and Simon Bowland are lacking enough in shame to put their names right there. Impressive, in a way.

While I can't speak for Lujan and Bowland I don't think that the writer of Empowered and the Dirty Pair had that much shame to begin with.

Dredd also have a minor crossover with other 2000 AD comic Nemesis the Warlock (a Dredd villain, Satanus, becomes Nemesis' kid's pet). Proving that as bad as Mega City One is it's only going to get worse in the future.

I don't remember much of anything about the beginning of Injustice, but isn't he right to call out Harley? It's pretty holier-than-thou to call out a guy when you took part in tricking Supes to kill his wife and kid in space and then detonate a (nuclear?) bomb in Metropolis.

Yeah, but then again Ra's al Ghul is the guy who's entire shtick is genocide. Remember that this is a guy who once tried to kill all of humanity with "super-ebola".

The best was when mutants were a standin for the homeless and mentally ill and then they got tired of that so they drowned them all.

Being killed in a genocide or mass extinction level event is like the second most common cause of death if you're a mutant in the Marvel comics.

Until an entire island populated with non-mutants are incinerated or ordinary people are put in concentration camps mutants are more at risk than any other Marvel character.

Constantine has done a lot to gently caress up Chas' life (including getting him possessed by a demon). I wasn't a superfan of the tv-show but one thing I liked was Constantine making Chas immortal because he was drunk and thought it would be funny.
