OMG THEY DID WHAT?!

In absolute fairness, I do not know if it has happened yet, but yes, apparently Roy Harper's arm is going to get/has been lopped off.

And then apparently he gets a mini series or something about how he deals with it.

BUT SERIOUSLY, DC? THE HEROIN WASN'T ENOUGH?

PLEASE TELL ME YOU JUST HALLUCINATED THAT. PLEASE. LIE IF YOU HAVE TO.

I just hallucinated it. It's not like there's a picture or anything. (http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/files/2010/01/jl-rf_covers1-4_colorartre1.jpg) /o\

I HATE YOU, DC. HE'S AN ARROW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. ALSO, SERIOUSLY, GIVE THE GUY A BREAK.

You know, every time, EVERY time, I think I might want to go back into a comic shop and buy something - every time I start to consider it seriously - one of the big two immediately takes action to remind me why I went cold turkey. I guess I should be grateful?

I was actually just having the same thought. 'Cause I was reading some comic reviews and they sounded good and, you know, I really wanted to get N.E.X.T.Wave in trade, and I thought, Hey, Roy finally got to be a member of the JLA 'cause he's super awesome, right? And then BAM. I find that.

But he gets a JLA storyarc called JLA: Rise of Roy Harper. I guess. That kinda...makes up for making him the DCU punching bag. Maybe.

I would say this is why I read Marvel but honestly just about all the Marvel titles I follow don't actually take place in the regular 616 universe, because they also pull shit like this.

The Arrows were some of my favorites when I used to read DC. D: Along with the Bart/Tim/Kon Young Justice/Teen Titans teams. And Ted and Booster. DC broke my heart a long time ago.

DC just gets worse and worse. It makes me so sad.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

That was pretty much my entire reaction.

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

WHAT

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

IDEK. I almost want to stalk the guy who writes it at Comic Con just to be like, "WHAT, HIS LIFE WASN'T HARD ENOUGH?" and maybe glare at him pointedly to make my displeasure known.

In happier news, though, Birds of Prey is back with Gail Simone :D?

I knooooooow. Roy!

Sometimes, DC Comics hates us. A lot.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Oh, LaT. What they have done to Wondy in Blackest Night is a TRAVESTY.

The only good news to come out of DCU recently is the restart of Birds of Prey.
