Shadow War

[thwhtGuardian]

I posted who I think the killer behind all this is in the Damian thread

Yeah, it doesn't take Columbo to figure that out, and that it's so obvious and Batman hasn't figured it out is what makes the story so annoying so far. There are two options: 1) it's a really poorly crafted red herring to shield some other culprit not yet revealed which is lazy. or 2) It really is Geoforce and it's just bad writing that the readers have figured it out before Batman.

Maybe they're whittling it down so Slade can get the big guns for Dark Crisis.

We barely know who the guns are, really.

I have liked this so far. Interesting to see where it goes. Deathstroke on the run?! Ok...

Glad to see Batman and Robin back together.

I wanted to see Bruce and Damian working together again for quite some time now, but the way Williamson did it was really underwhelming.
"What do I have to do for you to work together with me again?"
"Let me drive."
???
That's it? Er...what? Why? I really hope we get a longer conversation in the next issue because that was bad.

It's just bad after the way he wrote their last interaction, if he had led with something like that and skipped the stupid melodrama of the first interaction it would have been a nice moment that said, "Remember all the stuff that led to them being estranged? Yeah, we all know it was garbage so lets go back to fun. " But by playing into it first it makes the turn feel wrong.

man I guess hardly anyone like Shadow War despite the Lazarus Tournament being more favorable and well-liked. I'm wondering if I should had dropped Robin right before going to into Shadow War and end it with the tournament conclusion.

Has Williamson said anything about what role Prometheus will have in this? Could he be the mastermind behind this event?

Prometheus has been treated like a jabroni by every writer except his creator Morrison.

I also hated the art on Deathstroke #8. Seemed very unfinished to me, or like a early 90's small press book.

Yeah, especially with how bad Williamson wrote Bruce handling it before. Like, at least let him expand on the Alfred comment to explain why he said it.

I am enjoying Shadow War.

Yeah I kinda like it, its that my problem is that I get too many books that I trying to find excuses to drop books and reduce my spending on my pull.

There are parts of it that I like and there are other parts that I really don't like, it's a mixed bag.

I like Bruce isn't good at EVERYTHING... even if it means he is a crap dad... however I felt that line was too outof character

I feel like it would be one thing if it was believable, but whether it was or not probably depends on your opinion of Batman.

Shadow War Bruce has been so clueless about everything, it's funny. Oddly enough, he comes off as a more likable and human character in this story.

I'm starting to think that multiple people were involved in setting Slade up. The sad part is, even though Slade deserves every bad thing that's happening and more, he's going to walk away from things more or less unscratched.

OMG! The hate and hypocrisy in this forum really baffling. And the double standard too.

Talia did something wrong: "Can we please remember that Talia is not real and writers/DC are making the decisions? "

Slade did something wrong: OMG! He did it himself! Evil incarnate! Burn him! He actually exist and responsible for his own actions!

Peoples should have thinks about their own actions. You and you and you all... poisioning the whole comic book fandom.
You think everyone whose favorite character is a man are a lower lifeform. If that male character not a hero, then this doubly true.

Slade was created for this. And outside of that role, he is useless.
