Did Lear just spit his drink out so hard he broke a mirror?

I'm guessing it's supposed to be him throwing the cup and the art not making it clear.

But your take sounds more fun.

So to review...

Doctor Strange murdered prostitutes and children to fuel his magics.

Wonder Woman has killed countless sailors after bedding them in a vain attempt to have a daughter.

Giant-Man/Atom shrinks women and crushes them into slides just for kicks.

The Flash was a drug addict.

Green Lantern stole the cosmic belt from the twin brother he accidentally killed.

Aquagirl killed (or at least was okay with killing) her ex's girlfriend.

Martian Manhunter was the tool of a corporation created and run by a pedophile.

Gee, can't wait for the full story on what the Superman expy did....

Some of these things are not like the other...

I mean, I can get why the others were targeted, but the Flash, Aquagirl, Green Lantern and Jocasta’s crimes really pale in comparison to the kind of stuff the rest of the League pulled on a regular basis, since they were repentant and either working to redeem themselves or at the very least make up for their mistakes.

Actually, from what I read, it sounds like the Jocasta knock-off went Terminator on awakening to kill her creators and was playing a "long game" acting the hero to learn more before going full Ultron on humanity.

But agree not all of them as horrible as it even seems the Flash knock-off regretted his actions and the Orion guy was trying to live up to his brother's legacy, just not doing a good job of it. Compared to the outright psychos and serial killers of the others, they didn't deserve their own fates which makes this even harder to accept.

I've debated looking into, and buying this series and I'm now glad I didn't, the plot, the dialogue, the art, THE NAMES! Thank you for posting this, it's a cautionary tale.
