There's more anti-Islam propaganda--how are their public executions any worse than gas chambers or electric chairs that draw vast crowds?--and the tale grows rather boring and overly complicated. There's also some 90s PC ideology infecting it, saying that identity is about determinism and that no one is really crazy (I somewhat do believe the latter). There's also false info suggesting that prisons in the US are more humane than in third world countries, which is patently false. It's just a different method of evil here, one that wears people down emotionally while it sucks what little it can out of them (with occasional physical or sexual abuse a part of it).

It all rings hollow at this point, a bizarre excuse to bring characters back to life and kill off the dead weight, and Grant Morrison devolved into a pretentious hack at long last.
