When SEO just isn't enough.
The issue was... interesting.

I don't know what to make of an obvious analog of Alan Moore, the creator and "father" of Swamp Man, being literally shot in the head in the first page -- in a story that immediately follows a story that's a prologue to Doomsday Clock, where they're divisively bringing the Watchmen into the DC Universe. Is it a statement? And if so, what's it saying? You could read it as critical of DC's decision to murder Moore's legacy, or an acknowledgement of killing the past.

Honestly it preoccupied me the whole way through the book. I kind of liked the story, thought it was maybe trying to be quirky in a way that came off a little stiff in places. But I couldn't stop thinking about that first page, especially after reading this back to back with Flash 22.

e: I'd post the page but I'm not at home at the minute, but look it up. I guess... I really don't know what the statement is.

"If you don't buy this magazine we'll kill Alan Moore."
