Either Katharsis is a giant bad-ass or the Coral City cops are pusses. Maybe it's a little bit of one and a whole lotta the other.
Hmm, as an atheist, maybe I should praise this book differently.
Amen! No, wait, that doesn't work either.
Hallelujah! Fuck. What the hell?
This book is a long awaited miracle! Jesus Christ! Oh fuck, I can't even swear without religion butting in! And people think I'm being intrusive and upsetting when I simply mention I don't believe in God. How would you like it if every third thing in your language involved Satanism?! Yeah, you'd be pissed, right?
Well, you know, I don't actually care. I do say "thank God" and "Jesus Christ" and all sorts of other phrases with religious connotations. It's just the way language is. It doesn't bother me which is why I don't fucking care if the Pledge of Allegiance has "Under God" in it or not. What I find more upsetting is forcing kids to constantly repeat a pledge they can't even understand!
Oh! Speaking of Religion, I just received the "Family Bible" yesterday.
Black Lightning says, "Holy Bible? More like Holy Fuck That Thing Is Massive!"
The best part about this Bible is that it includes the Apocrypha right smack in-between the Old and the New Testaments! And I was planning to do those as well as the Old and New Books as part of Lyle's Study Guide for the Literal Interpretation of The Bible for Dumb Dumbs.
And, no, it did not burn me when I embraced it for the photo shoot. Smart asses.
Now, where did I set down that comic book I was supposed to be reading?
Well Narration Boxed, Katharsis.
Although a lot of people buy into Katharsis's belief that it is only fear of authority that keeps a lot of people in line. And many think the only authority that really keeps people in line is God. And so they believe religion helps more than it hurts. I'd say raising your children with pets helps build a stronger society than raising your children with God. You know. Because they learn empathy instead of fear and/or reward as the means to the end.
At this point, if you really just want a review about The Movement #3, you should probably find another website because I haven't finished reading page one yet.
Katharsis ends up captured at the hands of Coral City's Police force and this rich, powerful man, Mr. Cannon. Get it? His name is Mr. Cannon because he's powerful and explosive and he has big balls. Also it's a weapon useful against the masses. Also, it's phallic and I already mentioned the balls.
Meanwhile The Movement have begun their meeting with the Weather Witch.
There's less coffee and doughnuts than I was expecting.
I guess my conscious effort sucked.
Vengeance Moth is currently busy feeding the two Coral City Police Prisoners and not showing anybody her awesome powers of erratic flight, flammability, and vengeful wrath. The police officer that got the short end of Katharsis's fist continues to try to portray The Movement as being as horrible or worse than the Coral City Police Force. He mentions that the police force might be more merciful than The Movement because they would not have punished the Police as severely as The Movement are punishing them. But once again, he's missing the main distinction: the Coral City Police Force are abusing their power. If it had been left up to their brothers in the force (and isn't THAT word dripping with meaning), they would not have been punished at all. A Police Officer committing a crime can't be compared to a civilian committing the same crime. They are completely different situations.
The Movement manage to calm Weather Witch's squall and get her to put the storms away so they can talk. For some reason, Weather Witch saw the young woman in a mask with the other young woman in a cape and the devil dude in the hoodie and the pale boy surrounded by rats and thought, "The police are here!" Maybe she can't see very well with all that milk in her corneas.
Superheroes really need to belong to some kind of Guild and have some kind of App running on their phone that identifies them as one of the good guys so these fights stop breaking out all over the place. I suppose The Movement wouldn't exactly be thrilled about joining some kind of bullshit patriarchal corporate program like that anyway.
Rainmaker decides to stay out of The Movement's fight although if Virtue ever wants to stop by and be, you know, opposite of her name, she should call. Rainmaker and her team disappear while Tremor gets the call from Vengeance Moth that Katharsis has been arrested. Or kidnapped, really.
Virtue decides to pay a visit to
The police chief seems like he could be a reasonable guy but he reacts badly to being painted into corners. And Virtue keeps slopping on the primer.
The Movement #3 Rating: +1 Ranking. I don't think there were any overt ties to The Green Team although Jim Cannon is a big wealthy businessman and Wall Street tycoon, so he may end up being the father or uncle to one of the Green Team. Although they did mention the person who put The Movement together was female, so maybe L.L. really did put it all together. Unless it was Cecilia since Cecilia sounds like Caesar!
