Maybe some plots just aren’t meant for short stories.
Unless you collect everything that has Batman on it, you can safely skip this one.
God gives AIDS to heathen kids and doubts to women that dare to think they know better than their man.
The tedium is over. We can all move on with our lives, finally.
Who needs a well-done plot or anything else when you have a shirtless guy on the cover?

If I could insert an animated image here, it’s of Tyra Banks screaming that we are all rooting for the author.
