The Batlord

I'm willing to give it another shot since it did have some cleverness to it (written by John Wagner after all) but the main problem for me was that it tried the same kind of self-aware and in-your-face form of satire that Dredd was famous for, but without any of the absurdist humor that allows for that kind of bat**** crazy creativity that justifies the obviousness of the messages. I mean the main character is an obvious allegory for America and her name is "America", but it's played straight as if that isn't stupid and heavy handed.

But lots of other people suck that story's dick so maybe I'm the problem. The art is still definitely garish though.

Now that's the good stuff.

Edit: BTW maybe this thread should be renamed "The Dredd Thredd".
