NS: Really interesting review of the latest Doomsday Clock issue

So I was a bit torn should I post this as this community doesn't usually discuss reviews, but I thought Oliver Sava's review of Geoff Johns's Doomsday Clock 10 is a really intriguing analysis regardless if one agrees with or not. He basically points out how Johns's position within the company changed drastically over the writing of the maxiseries and how there is an argument to be made that the story of the comic reflects that. Si hopefully this is not against community rules, but I thought to link the review here and recommend people to read it. If this is against the rules, I completely accept that the mods removing this.

The review can be found here.

And the solution to that is: you should develop your own critical thinking and be aware of your own biases and take the time not to make rash decisions. The solution is not: you should let other people make the decision for you. That's obviously an incredibly stupid solution.

Like, if Superman had allowed Darkseid to make the decisions for him, the Justice League would have been defeated and Darkseid/Brainiac would have gone on to destroy countless other inhabited worlds, so that's still obviously a worse outcome than your hypothetical.
