God, I've run this at least four times as an SoP, and every single time someone comes in and goes "What the fuck, this is real?"

Why is he throwing CDs

Whatever happened to this guy?

way to date your comic

...

Orlando made good use of him in Midnighter

...

This. This right here is what kills the book for me. This is actually a reasonably strong opening that does a good job of establishing the characters and the conflict.

And then it's like the thing goes out of its way to completely ruin it. "Hey, that was an emotionally gripping and well done intro. How can we fuck it up?". Goddamn.

...

...

So many ass shots.

lmao he is bleeding black

>tfw the first time you read this you forgot about dickbats and were why everyone was calling Batman a dick

I shouldn't laugh, but fucking lol

Huge credit to Dinah here, letting that comment slide. Especially given that she had once adopted a kid, but had to let her go.

Again, there are good moments, including this one, constantly being undermined by everything else. It's perfectly understandable that Roy is lashing out, but the problem is that he doesn't stop doing that.

And if this was supposed to be a straight tragedy, of a hero losing his way due to personal loss destroying his mind, well it was poorly done.

Fuck, you made me laugh with your post, I was actually having le feels moments

i am unironically being entertained by this

...

Fuck this still makes me mad

oh boy, wonder what was happening in the Green Arrow ongoing back in then.

...

You might like Titans: Villains for Hire, which is almost a sequel to this. It manages to be maximum tryhardness

I haven't read that entire volume of Green Arrow but I thought during the Smith/Meltzer runs Roy and Ollie had gotten past this stuff. .

...

Why did they let Ollie keep his costume? You gotta be fucking kidding me.

In my opinion, this is every bit as groanworthy as that thing where superheroes attend a funeral in their costumes. I fucking HATE that.

...

every bad things must resurrect

...

You posted too soon

...

...

...

...

...

ok this is too much

Seriously, does the creative team assume we're stupid and can't tell who these people are without their costumes? It's a funeral, you idiots, dress appropriately.

...

Did Roy forget that TERRY LONG, an adult who hung around older teenagers, divorced her and took the kids because she could not give up being a superhero?

...

...

...

...

...

...

Well, this is better than I remember desu.

...

...

...

Also Molten Vagina Woman, who was the best part

...

...

...

Hahahahahahahaahahahahav

Poor Roy

(Chaos)

>our kid is dead
>lets make another one
the fuck is wrong with these people?

Ok I had sympathy for Roy but it's gone now
