Stormwatch 8 - and this is why we can't have nice things

[kirke_novak]

Apollo got abducted by some weird alien vortex thingy to another universe (whateva) and Midnighter is worried. He even has this lovely conversation with Jenny.





Aw, that's sweet, right? And brings back all those memories of the old Authority, where Midnighter, cruel and vicious as he is, would never harm a child. He loves children, he breaks necks of people who endanger children, that one time when he had to kill a child to save an entire planet from destruction and save Jenny, he agonized about it for weeks! That's why so many of us love him; he's bad but no ev....





...oh.

I'm not even angry about it, it's more of the "that is not happening, this is a INDOCTRINATION PROCESS hallucination, they will wake up any minute now and Mindy will be Mindy again. Yay! YAY!!! YAY DAMMIT!!!!!!!

Anyway, Jenny returns on her own because ~Jenny and she tells Mindy this:



Who wants to bet that the decision will be Midnighter becoming her father? You know, not because he want to because he loves kids, but because she made him.

I've changed my mind, I'm actually angry now. /rage/ If you need me, I'll be here, in my little corner on Tumblr, reblogging this forevery:

"For example, I made a decision. You're not going to like it."
"What--?"
"BAM YOU'RE STRAIGHT."

THIS JOKE IS NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111!!!

Maybe she just wants to knock that ridiculous chin spike off of him.

"NOPE HETEROSEXUALITY KAPOW!"

Oh, well. The pubescent demigod has spoken.

[icon_uk]

More or less what I thought the punishment would be.

[equinox216]

I really hope DC isn't that tone-deaf so as to... forget I even began to say that.

"JENNY! CONTINUITY STRIKE ON AISLE 4!"

[joasakura]

Oh god, that's way too on the nose to be even remotely funny. I don't trust that not to happen :(((((

[kirke_novak]

Nah, I think she sees she needs a family and will have Midnighter and Apollo adopting her.

RIGHHT?!?!?

[joasakura]

RIGHT. YES.

ABSOLUTELY

[darkknightjrk]

I don't think she actually changed him in any way--she was just playing mind-games with him, hence the "boo-yah" at the end. She got the mighty Midnighter a little worried.

[hw221]

This. That was what totally what I thought.

[protogarrett]

Please tell me that's not what actually happened.

[darkknightjrk]

It's not. Right after that page, he's like, "wait, come back, what did you decide, come back!" and she's all "heheheh." She was just psyching him out.

[glprime]

No seriously, who isn't seeing that coming?

[salad_barbarian]

First thing that came to my mind as well.

[tsunamiwombat]

I lold

[blackruzsa]

Actually, I expected it to be more along the lines of
OH BY THE WAY, APOLLO'S STRAIGHT

fuck

now I feel sick.

[gerardotejada]

Yeah, now turn Lois Lane gay and you can count yourself dead.

No, really, that would be the most disrespectfull hate crime since the Spiderman Brand New Day holocaust to Quesada
