okay.... more violent than I care for.... but... BUT... i do find this intriguing.... not sure i like it.... but... yeah...what happened to the baby?

[protogarrett]

So... how did he turn into a super zombie? Rage and Happenstance?

Solomon Grundy. Born on Monday. Gained a new origin on Tuesday. And Wednesday. And Thursday. And....

Slaughter Swamp being named after a slaughter house does actually make a degree of sense, though if it's warm enough for alligators wouldn't the humidity make the meat go weird?

I hate it when bystanders die in comics. I can't help it.

Not digging the old "wife commits suicide, driving husband mad" schtick, though Grundy's origin was never great anyway so it's as good as any.

What actually bugs me, weirdly enough, is that his name is actually Solomon now.

Sooo... where's Cyrus Gold?

At first I'd assumed the slaughterhouse boss was Gold, and he was going to be Solomon Grundy. That he worked the men to death, then butchered/sold their bodies for meat, and their families found out and killed him but he came back as some sort of super-ghoul.

Man, DC really likes suicide these days, huh?

[silverzeo]

Yeah, another story that may or may not lead to a mentally scarred child...

[jaybee3]

Is this really better than the old Cyrus Gold origin? Or is it (par for the DCnU) just darker and grimmer (and of course plain old nastier) just for the sake of it?

Remember when superhero comics used to be fun, and not have to rely on an over abundance of gore?

[capnduckman]

I really didn't think they could make Grundys origin any worse... and then they did it. This is why we can't have nice things.

This issue left me with a lot more questions than answers. But at least the art is pretty.
