At least Mr Stroke has a better team of teenagers this time around

Sucks it only comes out monthly now

...

...

>lava vagina murder
>drugs made of children

my favorite

It's weird to think this only came out 7 years ago, because it feels like a totally different era of comics.

Shit, the entire thing is quite long. Good luck man, it is awful

If only it was shorter, it would be a regular SOP.

There are so many shitty moments spread over far too many issues.

Oh what a fun and inventive way to deal with a supervillain, just burn him to death.

I'm going to need that luck, I think.

I have only read villains for hire, joker's dauther, nemesis, trouble, earth 2, amazons attack,countdown,avengefuls, cry for justica, legacy of fire, rise of arsenal,ultimatum

And for me the worse ismaybe avengefuls or villains for hire.

The better one, cry for justice.

...

>nothin personnel kid

This is definitely the "Part 3" to Roy's downfall
>Literally "nothing personal, kid"

...

I'm always fond of Marville, because it's always fun to see people go "I'm two issues in and all I see are lame jokes, what the big dea-OH."

What did Roy do to deserve this?

Cheshire: Would you?

...

I'm not high enough for that.

...

...

You don't fuck crazy and Chesire makes crazy look sane.

...

...

...

...

>korean guy with a kid named ichiro
Wait, wasn't Ryan dating Giganta?

Absolutely not

Though i do think she has potential for more use if they'd stop using her to bomb countries and have children

...

...

It might be the friend's kid? I'm not familiar enough with Ryan though.

...

There's gotta be a less gross way to burn a guy's dick off.

Yes, he was. She got her revenge in a Secret Six story (which was also probably Simone getting revenge for her OC getting killed

Poor Ryan. I think Simone was the only one at DC who gave a shit about hum.

...

...

As Catman once said, "the most dangerous weapon in this room is your womb."

...

>burned to death
>don't care, had sex

...

...

...

...

Which is a shame because that and Secret Six are some of my favorite books of hers.

IIRC one of things Simone wanted to do, in edition to making the book less grimdark, was bring Ryan Choi in the Batgirl book. I think she wanted him to date Barbara but editorial had a firm "OCs that fuck off and bat incest only" rule.

...

Pretty risky move there slade, having the girl who kill pedophiles on your team.
>hope she doesn't learn about what you did to Terra.

This story ain't great but I don't know about painful.
I mean compared to mangaverse ghost Rider or ICP comics?

...

I wanna know if Slade fucked Terra in rebirth.

...

>Trusting a woman who specializes in poisons to not infect you with something

And if you're wondering why he shrank SLade too and didn't just shrink himself so he could get away-you've put more thought into this than the writer did.

Also for Day 4:
(Ultimate End)
(Chaos by Ithiliam pt. 3)
(Countdown pt. 6 and Arena)

There's some rage to it because it abruptly took over another book (Titans) and continued to shit on Roy.

I consider Ghost Riders actually to bea pretty painless storytime because it's so quick and so obviously stupid. Same with War Machine 2.0.

Thanks!

And because of well, this.

...

...

Why did they shrink him again?

...

...

Onward to the main series!

I can't believe they brought best boy back only to do this shit to him.

...

This is the lowest point for a lot of characters.

...

...

2spooky

...

...

...

eh.

...

...

HEY, THIS IS OUR SOBECK!

...

Why'd you put a scorpion on your head if you were just going to punch the guy anyway?

I think we will find out about that in the next issue.
Pretty much all of "The Ravagers" was retconned prior to Rebirth, right?

...

That Sobek shit will never be unfunny. He shouldn't have come back.

They probably thought it was funny.

Poor Ryan. Doris got her sweet revenge for this bullshit.

Actually, that's twice Simone had someone BTFO by a Wonder Rogue in Secret Six.That and Cheetah beating up Bane without trying. Huh.

...

>those bulges
S-STOP!

...

I think they mostly just avoided mentioning it after it was cancelled.

Sorry, there's 300+ pages left.

nah, he just got cocky.

I honestly makes me really mad. I haven't read 52 again all the way through because of it.

Is OP kill?

RIP OP
He died doing what he love to hate.

Sorry, sudden laptop mishap.

...

...

Salute the first martyr of the SoP--
Oh nevermind, the suffering continues!
