Did you find it shocking?

I'm not asking if you personally were offended, but can you see how some people might have been?

It did seem like a bit much for a DC comic. I thought it was a good shoking twist though so it served its purpose. It wasn't just gore for the sake of gore in my opinion.

what happened?

I have to agree with ClownShoes.

Yes, the scene was incredibly gory. It was a huge shock to me as a reader... not just that it happened, but the ferocity of it and the amount we were shown.

However, this was a necessary bit of storytelling. We needed to see Teth-Adam go over the edge, see him snap, and we needed to buy into it. This worked. Even to someone as jaded as Teth-Adam, this was a cruel and horrific death and betrayal. We bought it.

Honestly, it was one of the high points of the series for me, one of the most moving moments we saw.

Well, the short story is a Crocodile man ate a teenage boy to death on panel. For the long story look up "Sobek (comics)" on Wiki.

That Osiris and Isis were doomed to die was pretty much set in stone as soon as they appeared.
I didn't see it coming at the hands of Sobek though.

As for the art itself, I found it clumsy rather than shocking.
