WHAT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT THATS SO RUDE WOULD YOU BOIL MY BOY??? MY POOR BOY LOOK AT HIM

It's been a while since I've read this, like, the last time I read this was around 2021 I think so a lot of the details are rough for me. I didn't ENJOY it either so naturally the details didn't stick. I'm not sure if I can address this question as well as I would like and I am not re-reading it.

I do remember liking the premise of a place for healing for heroes because it's not often the comics EVER touch on mental health and when they do it's often handled badly.

The entire structure of The Sanctuary for example really doesn't fill me with any confidence that it would be an effective place for healing. People having to walk around in robes hiding their identity (for safety) to me more feels like it's stigmatizing mental health.

BUT it was written by Tom King so what can you expect?

I feel like the question of heroes in a mental crisis could be a very compelling story and one that arguably NEEDS to be told but I think the level of care to execute it while STILL telling a story is something beyond Tom fucking King. It also can't be riddled with therapy speak and talking down to the audience otherwise that's an abomination no one would want to read.
