The INFAMOUS issue.

Before we get to the big "moment" that people get very upset over, the first half, or more than half of this issue, is great. Dick is at his limit. Both mentally and physically he can't do much more. After finally getting answers he witnesses ANOTHER death and just can't stand it. Him and Blockbuster go at it, ruthlessly, and the whole time Dick will not back down.

Then the big moment happens, another death, and then a rape.

Now rape is gross. And sadly what happens to Dick I hear doesn't really acknowledge it later on. Which is a shame because there's another comic where something similar happens called Invincible and in that, they handle a rape of a main character (who also happens to be male) very well and it is heartbreaking because the events are terrible to watch yet we watch as our heroes heal.

Here it just happened, so I'll hold verdict. I do find it weirdly placed and honestly unnecessary since we already got a shocking scene couple pages prior. But overall up until that point, I really enjoyed this issue.
