I haven't read the issue yet, I just like to understand why people like or dislike certain things cause it helps me decide whether I should pick it up or not. I asked for elaboration on why this issue was deemed "stinky", and instead of an explanation I got a fart joke. So no, I guess I don't get it.

Was this comic that bad? It seemed pretty inoffensive to me.

ItsJess - Jan 22, 2024

It wasn't too terrible compared to her other work, but the narration, particularly on (if I recall correctly) page 1 was really awful. Combine that with the 9-ways-to-die concept and other stupid shit like being "killed" on stage in an entirely mundane manner incongruent with the idea of Flamingo's little event, then being merely deposited in an alley, and its pretty bad.

Yet another issue of Leah Williams’ Power Girl with no Power in it. Seriously, the titular character is so dispirited and woeful it’s a shame to read as a longtime fan of the character. The issue is a wordy mess with way too much pages devoted to Omen in the beginning. Power Girl fans do not care about Omen, their friendship is rooted in trauma bonding and none of the characters act right for more
