The cover seriously makes it look like Spider-Man is hanging around the DC universe.

Spider-man
Spider-man
Similar but legally distinct from Spider-man
Look he teleports around
So he's different
Please don't sue.

"New age of heroes" my ass. How about "New age of Original characters do not steal:"

it could've been worse. They could've given Redtool his own comic.

[crinos]

Redtool?

*Googles*

.....OH FUCK YOU DC. FUUUUUUCK YOUUUUU.

I mean I thought Red Lion was bad, but at least that arc is being written by Christopher Priest. What even the fuck?

At this point I am just waiting for them to bring out Ms. Chipmunk or some dumbass thing like that.

To be fair, Marvel ripped DC off first for Deadpool. And if there was going to be a Deadpool cameo it would totally be in the Harley comic

[cypherfdp]

I hope Redtool gets really popular and Marvel makes a clone of him, so we have a rip off of a rip off of a rip off

[crinos]

Well the thing is they already have a Deadpool expie in DC that isn't Deathstroke. He showed up in Superman/Batman and was an anti Earth version of Slade (And his name even was Wade, even though he kept getting interrupted whenever he tried to introduce himself).

But here it feels like what happens when you make a xerox of a xerox.

Can he swing
From a thread
No he can't
Our lawyers were clear on this

[zachbeacon]

Look out!
Here comes the (court) summons, noooooooooow!

[thanekos]

Can't wait for " Sideways visits an iteration of Angor ".

Did... Did some one find this pretty much ready to go in an old drawer marked "90s comics"?

[philippos42]

What's so 90s about it?

[strejdaking]

Is this that Didio pet project Morrison did some writing for?

[coldfury]

This is such a weird, weird format. It's trying to cram 25 issues worth of interesting into 6, and it's totally going to fail.

It's like he smooshed "What if we had a hero who livestreamed his heroics" and "What if we add to the cosmology of the DC universe at the level of the MONITOR" together into an original character.

That twist could work after we care about the hero, but I don't think you can lead with it.

Nice job caring about his shoulder, both of you.
