If THIS Is The Best DC Comics Can Do These Days, Count Me Out

 
 

 
I just read the Atom #2. It's a part of the new DC reboot they called Convergence. After reading what they try to pass off as a superhero adventure, I am ready to ditch the whole 'event'.
 
Look at the ending to this issue - Ray Palmer, the original Atom lost his hand after Deathstroke cut it off. Raymond Cho, the new Atom has the power, somehow, to rebuild that hand by turning Deathstoke's hands into little baby hands!!! YES, one of the deadliest mercenaries ever now has to operate his weaponry with the fingers of a toddler. That is some creative writing there.

Of course this is a power that no Atom has ever had before and it makes no sense whatsoever.

What the hell is happening here?

Jumping the shark is what it called, Cal , something DC did about 3 or 4 years ago when they decided to scrap 70 years of continuity and start "the New PU ....err 52.

OOF it's bad. I mean Liefeld bad. My mother's soaps are better examples of compelling storytelling.
