It wasn't great, but the characters were on target. Damn, I feel betrayed.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-73956998145481404032010-06-24T19:00:11.256-04:002010-06-24T19:00:11.256-04:00I haven't seen #4 yet, but it sounds as bad as...I haven't seen #4 yet, but it sounds as bad as I suspected it would be.<br /><br />Like I said on my blog, the mini could have been subtitled "DC Spotlights Roy Harper And Sucks All The Redeeming Qualities Out Of Him".<br /><br />You're not alone, Shelly. Roy could've continued to inspire people. Now he'll probably just inspire people to stop reading DC.<br /><br />I thought there couldn't be a more depressing character revamp than Speedball becoming Penance during Civil War. It's sad that I was wrong, and sadder that it was Roy.notinthefacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537680561821564347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-86339660383677702812010-06-24T16:28:24.258-04:002010-06-24T16:28:24.258-04:00Thanks for the support, Sally.

As a former addict, single father with commitment issues, he was one of the more interesting DC characters, which made the early traumas fine by me because they elevated him from just another sidekick. But now... this is worse than death.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-90467382005057141032010-06-24T16:19:33.989-04:002010-06-24T16:19:33.989-04:00Well crap.

I didn't pick up this issue, because I was so grossed out by the first one, so I didn't realize that they actually went and turned poor Roy into a murderer. It's bad enough that they did it to Ollie, but now Roy too? AND they're going to stick him in that gawdawful evil Titans book?<br /><br />What the heck did Roy DO to you Dan Dideo?<br /><br />I'm so sorry.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-68170320398239873512010-06-24T03:16:02.916-04:002010-06-24T03:16:02.916-04:00As I've used up all my vitriol on this cluster...As I've used up all my vitriol on this clusterf***'s catalyst, all I have to say is "Terrible."MetFanMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191993046517726498noreply@blogger.com
