I know nothing of this character other than the Jane Fonda movie I saw about 30 years ago so I don't know if this is what she's supposed to be but if it is then this book isn't for me. This was kinda stupid.

Good ending. Mark Waid is a trash person but he really seems to get DC much better than he does Marvel. Too bad this event was lost in the shuffle but what do you expect when there are around ten events a year per company. Too many chances given on trash= no one cares anymore.

Hey bud, I know nothing about Waid other than him being one of the better writers these days. What's his deal?

fthissite - Oct 5, 2024

He's a hell of a talent but the stories of his awful behavior towards his workfellows, unhinged rants on social media and the act that got him blacklisted the first time. A co-worker who he hated's wife passed away and he sent flowers with a disgusting note attached to poke the wound. Lots of nasty stories about him. The man can write some damn fine comics though.

This feels like the writing team is at least trying and putting forth more of an effort than most modern comics do. This at least seems professional and involves an actual effort by the DC team instead of letting writers run wild and do any stupid thing that comes to mind. Most things have been done already so this book might appear to be retreading old ground but I can at least stomach it compa more

REYNARD reviewed DC All In Special #1 Oct 2, 2024

This comic epitomizes what is wrong with DC. You have two mercenaries in Snyder and Williamson leading the pack of mundane and uninspired writers. These are cannibals, picking at the feet of their betters, scraping the tombstone library of story-past for any epitaph to sustain an event or story arc or whatever you want to call the derivative droll they put out.

Long gone are the days of more
