I don’t want to do lazy shit reviews like this, but I have had it with this comic book. It is nearly incomprehensible, and what can be understood is so boring that it defies the very nature of storytelling. I am way past the point of caring about anything happening or any character in this book, and knowing that this writer will be done in two months saps any vestiges of enthusiasm that might have lingered. This comic is fundamentally bad, on basic execution. If you are still reading this, I feel sorry for you. And if you are enjoying this comic book, I implore you to seek help. There are much better shitty comics out there to throw four dollars at.

Bits and Pieces:

Continuing to review this comic book does no service to you or myself, so this will be the last score I belch out for this creative team. See you all in August.

2/10

    2. Ask anything and I'll do it as long as you won't bail out on Hellblazer. Did I mention I'm saying this down on my knees.

  2. Love the review. Can't wait to see what Tim Seeley has in store. Fuck this book, I hopped off it a few issues ago, but kept up w/ your reviews. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I had such high hopes for this book when it came out, and they were dashed after the Rebirth Special. I'm not one to wish someone would lose their job, BUT Oliver (and Hitch) both need to quit writing or at least do the plot and let a REAL writer write their books.

    1. I sentence them to a year on Scooby-Doo Adventures so they relearn the fundamentals of comic book storytelling!

  3. I've been reading it and I'm up to this issue. It's genuinely awful and the writer is clearly politically very angry and it shows in his writing. He's focused on politics and not story telling. It's a paranormal detective comic and there's very little of either.
