The first issue was awesome. Interesting that I didn't bring up the language in it, though. I remember feeling a twinge at it when I read it, but didn't think more about it than, "How tiresome, Millar is lazy in his writing". The second issue didn't nearly thrill me as much as the first one. I think it's the South Park syndrome. He didn't do anything in the second issue that he hadn't already done in the first. And while he didn't drop any homos this time, he did use "retard". So the combination of nothing special about the second issue, and having to read the dialogue, makes me not want to continue with it. I posted in a forum about this, saying that while Millar's dialogue may be accurate in regards to how typical 16yos speak, there's a reason that I don't hang around typical 16yos.

No one will ever know what is not acceptable if people don't speak up.
