Brian Hibbs has been reading comics with at least some tiniest sense of critical thought for 25-ish years. He has read some howlers in his day, such as TAROT and the Haunted Vagina. But, he notes, for a really really bad comic, the kind that leaves you with your mouth wide open, and the thought racing through your head of "...the FUCK did I just read?", nothing is worse than JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE RISE OF ARSENAL #3. (via The Morning News)
…which is saying a lot; I’ve been reading comics with at least some tiniest sense of critical thought for 25-ish years. I’ve read some howlers in my day; and it is always going to be hard to top, say, TAROT and the Haunted Vagina. For a really really bad comic, I have to end with my mouth wide open, and the thought racing through my head of “….the FUCK did I just read?” as I sit there poleaxed.Well, I think last night I have read the poleaxest of all poleaxes — I felt incredibly dirty and gross after I put it down.
JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE RISE OF ARSENAL #3
“Arsenal”, of course, is the new nom de guerre (or at least it will be by the end of this series) of Roy Harper, the sidekick formerly known as Speedy.
