'Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal' Actually Won an Award(That's Not Worst Comic)


Not since Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose won an award for "Best Independent Comic" have we been quite so shocked by an award-winner as we are today. As DC's The Source reports, last Saturday saw the Prism Awards honor Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal as an accurate portrayal of substance abuse and mental illness.

Yes, that Rise of Arsenal.

The one with the dead cat.

A story in Peter Milligan and Werther Dell'Edera's Greek Street also received an award for its portrayal of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder -- meaning that once again, Funky Winkerbean was robbed -- but Rise of Arsenal was honored alongside The Fighter and Black Swan for what is apparently an award-winningly accurate portrayal of one man's crippling addiction to China Cat.

I have no idea how parents will react when they let their kids read this in order to let them understand what happens when you take drugs.
