Read in single issues on the DCU App and abandoned.
The characters have no individual voices. The concept is that the reformation of the justice league is going to lead to the end of the world, just because. No real explanation. Nothing. Then there’s the dialogue 🙄.
Not sure how this writer continues to get work.
People would kill for the opportunities he’s been given and he writes the most uninspiring garbage.
DC are doing well with their core titles just now but continue to shaft beloved lower tier characters by farming them out to hopeless writers who have no handle on them.
6 issue minis are like the comics version of 8 episode limited series bc i am so sad whenever i find a sick ass concept with unfortunately not enough time to let the writer’s voice truly flourish and take time w the characters i rly liked this besides the lack of consistent pacing w characters
however. i am investing in big sienna red canary bucks rn bc I AM GOING TO BECOME THE SIENNA RED CANARY SCHOLAR EVER
