Not doing a spotlight today. Instead, today is a day of mourning.
DC Comics just officially killed any and all hope of getting Lian Harper back in a comic book.
From here:
On Arsenal and Lian Harper: Because they want to return characters to younger incarnations, Arsenal is now too young to have had children, so Lian Harper no longer exists. He will also have two arms and likely won't be known for abusing heroin.
This is after they killed her last year, on panel, getting crushed to death, screaming for her daddy to save her. Which he couldn't. Because DC had just ripped off one of his arms. All in the name of giving Roy Harper angst.
I disapprove of this practice, of doing whatever in the name of character angst. I very much disapprove of killing Lian (again).
I may be accused of torturing a character just for the sake of character angst, but I don't. There is a purpose to a lot of what I do. Yeah, sure, I vivisect characters and kill their sisters and torture them however I can, but most of it is because it furthers the story. What they did with Lian ended up in one of the WORST comic stories in 2010.
So, today, because I just heard the news and am utterly crushed, mourn Lian with me. One of the youngest women to be thrown in the refrigerator.
