I'm curious, have you read Glass' other work? In Legion of Doom alone, good lord, it was excessive.

You can ignore it all you want, but execution matters. People complained about Glass' scenes because they included burning a man to death, the scene with Plastic Man done *twice*, a man getting his eyes stabbed out and another having his heart torn out via his throat, another character had their nose bitten off and was then decapitated via their mouth and another had his head popped like a grape.

In three issues. And on top of that, the characterization was shit. When Johns did a stand alone Heatwave story, he had Heatwave burn two familes to death and he was still more interesting/sympathetic in that single issue than Heatwave was in Legion of Doom.

So yes, Gail gets a free pass in comparison. She uses less gore, more and better characterization and she makes sure that it has impact, and isn't there just to be there.
