Midnighter & Apollo #1-6

Is that a dude with a sword—yes.  That is a dude with a sword.

This is…did I somehow go right from Spider story?  Because there are pirates on a train now

That’s a missing head now okay vigilante it is (I kinda got that from the look but still)

Also obligatory: WHO’S DRIVING THIS TRAIN

And a dude through the roof

And…a train pole through, like, three people…this one’s violent

And a crunching boots on head…

…there’s not blood everywhere and it’s a little more brown than fresh blood would be and it’s pretty vicious

You’re…missing half your beard.  And hair.  And mustache.  That’s…a look

Look you totally said brigand.

Guessing this is the type of paranoid guy who can’t fully relax, but.

They’re totally teasing them.

Yeah, yeah, intimidating, big Ollie-like goof.

Seriously I feel like I’m reading Oliver/Tommy stuff here

Ra-Man is basically a Dr. Strange villain?

Also this feels like the Mystery Men villain party.

Gotham?  Is this DC?

Shows how much I paid attention to the front cover.  Duh.

Is this the infernal counterpart to the Colt?

Is Rose your evil AI or your evil…uh.  Bob?  (what do they call ghost spirit familiars?)

Wait that looks tech.  evil AI is my bet.

Just sneak out to fight crime, that’s good.  (also look at that cape movement and crouch.)

And he knew about…maybe not the hit, but that he’s plotting something?

“Are you mad?”  “Not in an unproductive way.”

Oh, uh, thanks for the gruesome exposition there, Midnighter.

Oh, kidnapping the boyfriend superhero and going to…Death?

Is that the dude who experimented on you?

Surprise hug!

Look I fully expect him to fight Death for the guy.

(what are their actual names?  Unless they just go by super names all the time)

Okay, Constantine|Dr Strange has also gotten with a guy.  Possibly an angel, possibly a griffon.  Who knows.

…demon worlds are weird.

Waaaait Fercifer—hang on.

…

DC.  Constantine is DC.  I’ve heard that name before.

Processing.

Neron, I…don’t know if I’ve heard that one.

He pulled a Jotaro “there’s your receipt”.  Brilliant.

Uh.  Demon ninjas, color-coded.  That’s different.

…oh.  Ohhhh.  It’s not about the hope, or earning it.  It’s because of the story, the tragic story where Apollo had a male lover.  Isn’t it.  (no?  pity that would’ve been cool)

Well that answers that question about the angel thing

No!  they did do the thing!  haha!  (thanks for making me feel smart dc)

Apollo, really?  I don’t need you breaking the 4^th wall now

Aww.  That one was good.  And definitely Hellblazer adjacent.
