Read it last night. Still not really on board. Feels like LIB shit tbh.

Frankly, this hits harder. Absolute Superman spoilers.

That's still kind of libshit though because he's just giving the oligarch a slap on the wrist. He needs to go to davos and lift the entire building the fuckers meet at into space, then go back and broadcast "we're doing global communism"

Oh, no argument here! I'm just saying the 'class warfare/take it to the rich' energy of that moment hits harder than what was marketed as Serial Billionaire Killer Robin Hood but is actually a cop drama with a cliché villain arc.

Ye seems like the 'longbow killer' is just going after people in OQ's circle rather than a general anti-capitalist crusade, while superman does feel more like that even when going against specifically Lazarus because its so pervasive within the world of ASM

Also, really feels like they're trying to have their cake and eat it too by constantly being all judgmental of the folks cheering for the deaths. Like maybe the MC is gonna come around on it all, but I doubt it given it's the second chapter (of 6 , I guess?) and the killer is already taking questionable victims. Really seems like someone thought "ooh, people were cheering for Luigi how do we capitalize on that without actually supporting it?"

Very much so,

spoilerye showing little remorse when accidentally killing the son is setting him up to go the classic comic villain route: has very reasonable point, inexplicably has to commit an atrocity so the hero's a hero for stopping them, hopefully they flip it, which if in any mainline dc series would do that it'd be this

lol, yep, totally agree.

spoilerThe second he showed no remorse, I did a frustrated Jeff GoldBlum "well there it is".

I'm just not expecting much at this point. catgirl-cry

Wasn't green arrow already about killing rich people like a batman who didn't suck

How did they make him more absolute than that
