Only one issue out. It is EXTREMELY gay, as in the love story is front and center to the plot with a navy dude. Issue two is supposed to be about electroshock converstion therapy.
If allan scott being gay enough for a worksafe Tom of Finland is what you wanted, then it's good for you. I love the frick out of sucking penis, but even this is too much.
It's a VERY competitive year, but I think it will deserve storytime of pain status in the first round. Probably gets beat out by Spiderman with Paul and the Batman/catwoman trainwreck.
If any of the old JSA should be a homosexual it should be Wildcat, and it shouldn't be glamorous at all. He should beat the shit out of his smaller mousey BF.
What sucks about Hawkgirl is that the art makes Kendra look fine as frick, but the troon writer literally derailed it by pushing her troony OCs in it. It's not even a fun trainwreck like America Chavez, just incredibly boring.
Yeah, this year has been jam packed with strong SOP contenders. A bunch of them took Gabby Riviera as an inspiration I guess.
> the art in in this one is passable
I think it's pretty good by house standards.

I think there's still time to REALLY frick up that book.
This is purely anecdotal but I had never seen so many unsold copies at my local shop. I go on Wednesday and sometimes the DC books will be sold out or only have a couple of copies left. There were plenty of these. There was one in my pull box because I get the other two Green Lantern books, and when I went to put it back on the shelf I had to push the other copies back to be able to squeeze it in.
There have been great superhero stories and there still can be. I even like a lot of what's coming out now, but the industry seems to be trying to kill itself.
>prayed for years OG Alan would return for a solo >it's this
I have genuine tears of seethe welling up as I type this. Why do they put writers on books with characters they don't even give a shit about? Why does a character that's been around for so long NEED more backstory piled on?
>Why do they put writers on books with characters they don't even give a shit about?
There's this weird notion in comics that you can't let fans of a character write that character because they'll be "impartial" and, I dunnno, try to make the character too awesome or something.
I don't know. I didn't buy the ten issues Tim Sheridan begged me to. I didn't even buy one.
Is he still a big mo?

Hawkgirl is worse than this book at least the art in in this one is passable

Even worse
Alan was retconned as a conversion therapy patient
How were the sales? Because God knows the average heterosexual male loves reading about gay romance in their capecomics.

I want to love comics, but it's hard not to be in awe of how badly they frick up their own business.
You mean you want to love capeshit, which no, you shouldn't want to.

They're not piling on backstory. They're erasing it and replacing it with gay BDSM fanfic.

>because they'll be "impartial"
meant won't be, obv
Ok but, like, uh, why not write about Obsidian who was already gay?
T. Gay
Because "Obsidian" isn't a name that registers with casuals.
Hold that thought, which was the last "new" capeshit character who stuck around?
For DC? Jaime probably. I think they brought back Jade but unrelated to Alan Scott in any way.
I'd like you guys to apologize to me. I called Alan staying a homosexual post Earth-2 the moment it came out and I was called a Schizo.
So come on. I'm waiting.
You're still a schizo
Not an apology. Try again, homosexual.
