I realize the idea of Flashpoint, that it's an alternate universe where things went wrong, but some things, you just don't do. This, right here? This is just wrong, and the ghost of Jack Cole will have its revenge.Setup: this is Heat Wave and Cluemaster, they're in jail, and HW is very sure they'll escape, and CM doesn't quite understand why, but he's not well.I feel like some small part of me that's still a kid had someone take a shit in his brain. Even Frank Miller, with his psycho Plastic Man in DK2, was still within the plausible realm of Eel. This, DC? Really? You had to do this? I don't usually nerd-rage over corporate-owned characters. But this is Jack Cole's Plastic Man. A character, granted, DC has never done that well by, barely uses(most recently by Morrison and Waid in JLA, and by Kyle Baker in a series that should not have been overlooked and IS the right approach to the character), and doesn't really care about. But DC, didn't you already have enough fun doing hideous and disgusting damage to Ralph and Sue? Something you WON'T be undoing, I hear. As a creator and as a reader, I am nauseated just a bit. Not by what he does. That you had him doing it.It's just ugly. That's my reaction. I'm hardly squeamish. But...I mean...There is no other way to say it, and it deserves no more words than this. Fuck you, DC, for doing this. This is garbage. This is really awful, grim, sickmaking stuff.Oh, they also burn Jason Rausch alive at the start, because killing the black dude first is daring and tasteful, and entirely atypical of DC. And anyway, you've still got Ronnie, right next to him and yet amazingly unsinged.Also: Jesus, what forgettable artwork.Sad.Note: A few things have been revised since most of the comments below were made. Nothing in substance, just a couple of phrasings.And now, the Kinks, to help me feel clean again ________________________________________: new THIS SICKNESS(#7) with me(new LULU and a really nasty short story about Fred Phelps), Ashley Holt(BEDBUGS) and Sam Henderson(lotsa cartoons), is out now, and you can get it here(not in stores).
