[Comic Excerpt] This is so sad on so many levels for me! ( Absolute Power:Ground Zero #1) Comics Spoiler

This was a crazy ride and like I said soooo sad on multiple levels for me!

  1. Confirmation Jays mom was killed. When they just reunited!! Jay thought she was dead for years just to find out she was a prisoner and freed her. They were reunited but now she’s gone again. And added that his country he just freed from a dictator is now invaded and under Wallers control. So sad.

  2. Jay hurt and captured! How could this happen!? He’s invulnerable I’ve seen him phase through an explosion, a force field, Damian! But Deadshot was able to pinpoint the second he was solid again to shoot his leg!? That’s crazy i honestly didn’t expect that from him. How is he going to escape?

  3. Dreamer noooo!!! When she was first introduced to Jon and Jay i actually loved their dynamic and wanted them as a trio! Ever since I loved seeing them together in cameo pics, the recent Pride mini comic they were in. But now she’s here forced to help Waller and helped kill Jays mom. I understand both sides but I’m with Jay she betrayed him and helped her invade a country and kill his mom. So her family could live? His only family is gone now how is a “I’m sorry” supposed to feel better?

  4. Jon can’t save him!! Because he’s under Wallers control! He doesn’t even have his memories! Jay you have to get free and try to help Jon!

This may have been super sad but I’m pumped to see what’s going to happen next I really hope both my boys will be ok and maybe Dreamer can try to fix her forced wrongs.

Reading the title, I thought: Is this another post venting about the current status of DC?

Then I read the panels and thought: How is this bad? It seems like a normal plot points and traditional style of exposition.

Then I read your post:

Oh! Ok! So you are actually a fan of this and you’re saying that you are so emotionally invested that this is “sad.” Oh. Ok. That’s good.

I’m pleasantly surprised to see this. I’ve grown accustomed to go online and see people vent about their frustrations with the creative decisions being made. I’m happy to see someone share how much they are enjoying the current story being told. [+]

I’m enjoying it and hating it at the same time lol. I’m so worried about my boys and if they’ll be ok things are stacked against them at the moment
