Oh, the shame!
I read Superman: Red Son (Elseworlds) by Mark Millar and, God help me, I loved it.
A writer who has made comments indicating rape is funny.
A writer who includes rape as a plot device in nearly everything he writes with what I find to be a disturbing frequency.
And doesn't understand what the big deal is because, hey, people get killed a lot more than they get raped in comics and nobody cares about that, right?
Who makes jokes about pedophilia with no punchline and doesn't understand when nobody laughs.
-sigh-
But Red Son was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed it, would read it again, and would lend it to others to read.
Now if you'll excuse me I have to take a very hot shower and scrub my skin with steel wool.
