Know what's a horrible, beautiful, fascinating disaster?


Specifically today I refer to the actual crossover title itself, the second issue of which came out today. I will spare you the ludicrous and laughably pointless cameo by thong-up-her-ass Dinah and Jim-Lee-idiocy-costume Helena and the ZOMG Black Mask is a dangerous badass!!1! posturing, and go straight to the Batboys nonsense.

As we saw in the preview, Jason kills some people and Dick gets mad at him; Dick follows this by going home and sulking about the legacy, and then we get this hilarious page:



He's so outraged! How dare Tim do exactly what he was about to do!

Meanwhile in Jason's cave, Tim and Selina are poking around and get jumped by Jason, who does not appreciate houseguests. Also, I don't know why I even mention Selina there, because she for some reason doesn't participate in the fight and her presence is just as brief and arbitrary and pointless as the Birds. I will say I like the color choices that make the action and the different players so clear, though.











No words.

However, on the plus side, there is one redeeming panel:



Heh. If they're going to be writing this thing like this, I'm on Jason's side.

(I know some preview pages were posted already, but if I counted right, the issue is 30 pages, not including the Peej preview, so that gives us up to ten.)

All this talk about Jason being Joker-esque is just making me wonder whether the Joker will turn up at any point. Having read the solicitations, I guess not, but still, I was actually looking forward to seeing how he would cope with Batman's death. And he does have that habit of just popping up when least expected. He hasn't been seen at all after Damian drove him off the bridge, right? (And I would be okay even with having the Joker dead before Batman's return, but offed by Damian?)

I don't know, I think the Joker would appreciate the absurdity of it. Besides, it's not like he's actually dead.

Yeah, I was going to put quotes around that "dead". And now that I think of it, the sheer wtf factor does make it a little more bearable.
