This was so dumb.

It was graphic and or/ explicit for what? Shock effect? I'm neither shocked nor offended.
What were they trying to do? Apparently satire. But I have seen better one-panel satiric comics than this. It felt like an American was trying to be 'edgy' while shouting the explanation for why. And yes I say this comic feels American because it doesn't translate very well to my culture. I'm a bit biased though because I do think my country are the best in satire, with the UK as a close second best. ( )

I... I've seen hatred presented in comics before, and I know that the MAX series by Marvel is considered to be adult content, but that was not a fun read. It had some entertaining moments, but... Yeah. At one point there's twelve running pages of anti-Semitic, racist horrible that I completely didn't need in my diet, even as character backstory.

Show. Don't tell. 12 pages of monologue in full intolerant splendor? That could have been twelve pages of dialogue - or almost anything else - and worked better, been less revolting to read.

In Barry B. Longyear's see of glass, utterly horrible things happen. It's my classic example of a good story with bad things in it that work. Groups flat out hate and despise each other. That hurt because it was human. Because it was reflective. Because it had heart. This hurt because it wasn't, and wasn't, and didn't.

Yeah, I'm not sure the redeeming qualities made up for that. ( )
