No, it seems you read a version that was good. We must've gotten ripped off.

John’s run was so much better And I only read the first trade of the Johns run

Need I remind you, that Mera was sexually harassed by grocery store manger and he is NEVER punished.

I’m pretty sure mera used her water powers to beat him up or was that a different incident Also you’re implying one moment is indicative of an entire run That’s like me saying Mark Waid is a horrible after reading one issue of the champions and nothing else he’s written

John's run is ok but Peter David & Dan Abnett are my favorites.

By the way is your profile pic from Kamen Rider?

Why yes yes it is Specifically, Drive If you had not watched it yet goo watch owl retry much anything except decade and ghost and go from there

Ok more specifically I recommend the first two series after decade, W and OOO if you want something a bit lighter go with Fourze, if you want something a little more series go with Gaim or Build, I’d recommend drive as well but it’s characters are not for everyone

this isn't a review. it's bullying.

But is he over 9000?

😯

What

if i had to guess? i'd say someone is shocked at you for having your own opinion.

I'm sick of people thinking they know better for some reason. I don't go to your reviews and act shocked or tell you that you should stop reading the comic like you're brain dead and you haven't thought of doing so.

exactly! too damn many "fans" act like they own the right to who should read or think what. ...no one is allowed an opinion unless it's aligned with theirs.

What kind of problems?

Angus, Gail Simone is a very talented writer. Her best being Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, Red Sonja and Secret Six.

She can write well, but like a child she targets people with her jokes, only one group of people. She would never write a joke targeting a progressive. Liberals and conservatives are evil, we get it. She can only write her beliefs as positive. Limited but if you agree with her narrow view of righteousness then it must be great to see the same belief system pop up in much of entertainment.

My family and I escaped to the other side of the planet unwillingly to avoid this type of thinking so it is jarring to simpletons like a dumb middle easterner like me.

I understand you disagree with her politics but what does this miniseries have to do with it?

I said it in my comment, her comedy targets people. I read comics with my cousins (large family and I am the oldest in my 30s). We get on skype or hangouts and read them as few times a week since we have to live at different ends of the country. Writers like Johns, Tomasi, and so on seem to try to entertain without targetting anyone with their humor. Gail Simone targets ALL who oppose her and I guess she does not realize that she paints herself into the corner, not us.

When 6 out of the 9 of my family/friends comics group wont read her, it is on her. She does not understand nuance. It is straight to 3rd wave feminism. Misogyny jokes and so on. The teens refuse to hear that and endless make fun of it. The 20 somethings just laugh and let it go and me being in my thirties just wants to avoid it so I don't get fired at work.

But I keep giving her chances to just write a decent a comic without that stuff. And we can't go there. Her Tweet Bird/Sylvester/Catwoman comic, another waste of 5 bucks had to jam the jokes in there so another issue I am stuck with no one in my group wants to discuss. Perhaps we are just on the wrong side of history like tells us.

Anyway, I hope you do enjoy her comics. I am probably not going to give her any other chances since the big part of the fun is my family getting together and discussing them and she just cause fights between the 6 people who totally disagree with her, the 1 person who thinks like her and wont let it go and the 2 of us that don't care about her agenda since it has been disproven on various points for years.

"Her comedy targets people". That's rather vague. Can you give any specific example, based on this issue of Plastic Man?

Feminists are not real conics fans

If you hate this than you will probably hate the Justice League/Aquaman crossover.

Say it ain't so.

I have the perfect solution: don't read or buy it. I stopped at issue 3.

I have the perfect solution for you too. Stop looking at my reviews if they trigger you.

First of all, I as just trying to give you some friendly advise. Second, I am annoyed by your review because you NEVER have any constructive criticism. All you write is "it's awful", "the writer is scum" or "hate this".

Well, first of all, mind your own business. There's a condescension there that I don't appreciate. Secondly, I don't have time to write a full review. If I did, I would. But there's no benefit to do so, I'm doing this of my own volition.

So basically it's cruel to be kind?

I do agree with you that Unexpected is not good (mostly in writing). But you make sound as if it's worse than Holy Terror.

No, get off your high horse about being kind. Your advice was stating the obvious, like I haven't considered that myself. That's what made it sound like condescension. I have reasons for continuing to read this series, primarily that some of my friends also read it and I like discussing it with them. I rated this issue so low because I was checking how many pages were left two pages in and was bored, when not getting lost in the word soup that is the dialogue. I never read Holy Terror.

To me, the 2013 series by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti was the best. It was not without its faults but still managed to be the best ongoing series DC had until Rebirth.

I personally hate their run, and her New-52 redesign was one of the main reasons I've lost interest in the character for years, until Rebirth kicked in. All the writers who came after them, try to continue their work almost 1:1, keeping the same tone and gimmicks, as well as regressin here even more, comparing to Dini/Timm work, and what Murphy did in White Knight, all giving Harl proper depth and personality. I really can't stand their comics.

But what about this one? https://comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/dc-comics/harley-quinn-(2013)/23

I've just read it. I'm sorry, but I hate it as well. That's the Deadpool-like violence shock for the sake of shock, the comic suffers from the overused Brooklyn accent gimmick, unfunny jokes, forgettable characters, and it's basically the same as we're getting now. Sadly, Rebirth fixed only Harley's looks (and that's also a reason why I hate her New-52 self), but underneath, she's the same as during Palmiotti/Conner days. Just a reskin. Maybe less violent, usually, but still barely a reskin.

I can see how the Brooklyn accent can be annoying. But what about Harley finally "breaking up with" Joker?

Her breaking up with Joker has both pros and cons. She needed that to become an A list character, so she wouldn't rely on Bats and his cast, but at the same time, post Dini/Timm writers couldn't give her any memorable side characters to interact with, nor a proper nemesis. Harl's become a Joker/Deadpool 2.0, losing what originally made her so interesting and lovable - relatability, some deeper story to tell (domestic abuse, victim complex). Also, her Ivy relationship is nothing but cheap fanfic.
