Seriously, saying something sucks over and over might sound neat, but it will only get you so far in the cut-throat world of comic book reviews.  However, I saved up enough money and went out and bought a Thesaurus, and BOOM!  Now I can tell you all this book appalling, dismaying, and abominable!  Thank you, Roget, wherever you are!
