I don't usually do US-type superheroes. I'm the original Moebius, Bilal and Caza-girl and can't abide facile superhero/supervillain-stories. But. But everyone was so gushy about this book, that I gave it a try. Thank God I could return...
Colour me astonished when I realised that I loathed this thing for totally different reasons. This is so offensively woke and in the least acceptable to me manner, this tries so effingly hard to cater to my LGBT-self, second-guesses my preferences and convictions in such outrageously offensive mannerisms, that it soured on me very quickly.
Or in other words:
This was written so as to suck donkeyballs off a specific demographic that it was painful to watch. This tries so utterly hard to sidle up to a certain audience, that it felt greasy and foul. Like someone staring at you with a salesman smile, but there's rotten meat between the teeth.
Full squick.
