There were some reall...This book drives me insane. There were some really wonderful moments, and some really horrible ones, so I agree with you completely on that. And seriously, while Max Lord always had a certain...pragmatism, he WASN'T a villain...and to this day I resent that they made him into one.<br /><br />Dammit, I liked Max! But I loved Ted more. They should bring back TEd.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28703497.post-69788709186463430122012-11-01T09:55:50.648-07:002012-11-01T09:55:50.648-07:00Yeah I agree wholeheartedly with all the points yo...Yeah I agree wholeheartedly with all the points you raised, especially what a bunch of dicks the superhero community as a whole was to Ted. Yes, you have to take into account the fact that while Beetle was seen as a genius with technology, his reputation.along with Booster's as class-A fuck ups seemed to proceed and haunt them for the rest of their careers after the their stints in the JL.<br /><br />Still, you'd think there would have been some goodwill left for them to at least try and help out a fellow crime-fighter in need. The fact that they later kind of canonized Beetle was fucked up, but that's how they were written at the time, so I blame the writers, not the characters themselves. <br /><br />As for Batman, yeah he was written as a huge dick, especially in light of being totally responsible for those deaths caused by the OMACs as you pointed out. Once it becaame common knowledge that he created Brother Eye, the government should have realistically hunted his ass down and arrested him. Not to mention all the lawsuits he'd have to face. I know Superman chewed him out for the whole OMAC business, but there really wasn't any accountability or judgement put on Batman by the superhero community as a whole. <br /><br />Anyhow, I did like this issue for the reasons you did, but decided to skip out on IC in general, and really history has proven me right to do it.<br /><br />Yeah I could go on a big rant with all this, but I'll calm down and stop for now:)Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.com
