Of course none of these “proactive” superhero teams work the only proactive superheros that work are super spy types. I could see the Black Widow going on a mission to take down a mad scientist and after confirming that his is in fact attempting to make dinosaurs that shoot laser beams out of thier eyes shutting him down and takeing him in. Because she would do it intelligently,secretly and correctly. Hal Jordan is the definiton of going in guns blazeing and is likely to get arrested for trespassing and assault with all the evidence becomeing inadmisable. Then a checkmate agent reveals that she had finally gathered enough information to take them out leagally and that because of thier stupidity the bastards going to walk.
Then Ollie would try to kill the guy because “The system doesn’t work.”
A strong comic ruined by callous use of oppressive language. “Retard” is a disgusting word up there with the N word with respect to its legitimately offensive nature. If you don’t use one, why would you use the other and perpetuate oppressive systems?
I actually did waffle on using the word “retard” for a while there, but at the end of the day, it fits Josh’s character. He IS callous, and more concerned with the rhythm of his performance than who it might offend (especially when he’s really getting into it, like he does here).
As AndyG says, the word is “couches.” And, as Beeblefish says, “retard” is just jarringly wrong and beneath you. Saying that “the character did it” is a lame excuse- YOU’RE the writer, and I’m willing to bet that Beeblefish is correct that you wouldn’t let your “callous” character use n—– (or, for that matter, f—–) just because it “fit his character.”

Ouch!
And only one (very drawn out, didn’t go far, running on the steam of reputation) issue in. Very nice.

Well, at least Superman and World of New Krypton have been good.

You missed the bandwagon by about a month, guy.

Do you mean he “couches” his words? Re-lettering that bit wouldn’t hurt. Good points in the strip otherwise. Cheers!
