Outside the realm of acceptance
Outsiders #25 review
The Outsiders jump onto the Blackest Night bandwagon as Terra, Geo-Fore’s half-sister, squares off against the team. The dramatic tension is written well by Peter J. Tomasi as Black Lantern Terra pleads for her brother to kill her. Meanwhile, Katana holds her
ground against deceased family, all sporting shiny new black rings. The plot is pretty standard Blackest Night cross over, heroes are attacked by their dead teammates or relatives.
What makes this issue memorable is its terribly inconsistent art. With two pencillers and three inkers, its no wonder this issue looks like a middle school art project. Some pages are great, but most utterly fail. This is some of the worst art I have ever seen in a DC comic. Lifeless, flat, and boring are nice adjectives to describe the shit I just bought. I feel bad for Tomasi, a talented author, whose decent story was butchered by a team of artists who obviously didn’t care bout this issue.
Outsiders is a good read, but I almost dropped it after this fiasco. For $3.99, this isn’t acceptable. Dan Didio, senior VP of DC comics, you should be ashamed.
