#but i'm impressed at how INSANELY hard williamson has gone out of his way to make that

Okay so Death of the Justice League was really, REALLY bad (27 pages of crammed exposition and then Instant Vaporization Of Almost Everyone at the hands of a villain with so little connection to recent comics that Superman had to turn to the audience and explain who he was, with absolutely no witnesses because they’d all been magically transported to the exciting setting of Some Random Uninhabited Planet). BUT. It did sort of amuse me that Green Arrow missed the Instant Vaporization entirely because he already got curbstomped to death immediately after saying the words “I’ll make chili.”

What a legacy. I would say that they should put it on his gravestone, but unfortunately there is no one to actually put it on his gravestone. Because they all died on Some Random Uninhabited Planet with no witnesses.

#oliver queen #green arrow #death of the justice league #i would tag for spoilers or something but like. what even is there to spoil. it's CALLED 'death of the justice league' #i guess i'm spoiling the fact that it was bad #joshua williamson #tagging him as the equivalent of pointing a finger in his direction and chanting 'shame' #REALLY hoping that the writers and artists on the individual titles manage to pull some good stories out of their main characters 'dying' #but i'm impressed at how INSANELY hard williamson has gone out of his way to make that #like if they had at LEAST died on earth then you could show the supporting cast reacting by watching it on television or something #but now supporting casts are going to have to find out through... word of mouth from DETECTIVE CHIMP??? #mr. williamson is so against the principle of 'show don't tell' that he's pre-emptively forced every other dc writer to tell instead of show #this is just so dumb. i feel like by the time the rest of the world finds out the justice league died they'll already be back #chip zdarsky's batman run starts on JULY 5. so we literally have only two months of these characters being dead #i feel like the only funeral might be that big en masse justice league funeral they were promoting so hard... if even THAT was real #beth can't go to a justice league funeral :( i wanted to see kate and beth at bruce's funeral so bad... #at this rate kate might find out bruce died from bruce himself casually mentioning it offhand seven months from now 🙄 #anyway i don't even have the energy to hunt down a screenshot of the green arrow chili recipe panel #THAT is how dismayed i am. i can't even bring myself to panel hunt. that's like my main recreation on this website
