There are no stakes. No need for a reader to become invested in the story. No reason to care about the characters. It’s an excuse for a writer to have EVERY single word balloon contain nothing but a one-liner. Everybody speaks with the same “comic” voice -in the loosest definition of the word possible- in a plot that goes nowhere because it has nowhere to go. Longshot, one of the most unique, interesting characters in the entire Marvel Pantheon, deserves better than a crappy haircut, fetish gear, and clunker sex jokes.”

It really was a scathing review, though. He ended it with "I give this a piece of dry, nasty marzipan." Ouch.

"I beat a kid with a flu once" are words I never thought I would hear come out of a person except for me.

For those unaware Chris Hastings is the author of _Dr. McNinja, Axe Cop,_ and the original Gwenpool run. Apparently he wrote a Longshot miniseries that Clint really hated lmao

Hey man, sometimes getting published doesn't mean everything you write is gonna be everyone's cuppa. Of course, if any McElroy, including the children, gave anything I did a bad review it would haunt me as well, so who am I to say?
