The Stop Button

And I thought Abnett and Lanning did a bad job the first issue….

The second issue does feature one amusing, if derivative, element. Resurrection Man gets a sidekick in a senile old man who might have been a supervillain. It could work out to be funny. But not with these writers.

This issue features Abnett and Lanning writing female characters. I think DC must have an edict its new line only has terrible writing of women.

The story itself, some of it, isn’t particularly bad. Resurrection Man goes to find his dad, finds a mystery (a tepid one, but still) instead. Then the supervillain girls show up and it gets really stupid.

Worse, artist Dagnino has a lot of failings in terms of faces this issue. The comic, at brief glance, appears to have good superhero art. But on actual reading, it’s clear Dagnino has problems with detail.

Terrible stuff.
