Arsenal lost a kid at the end of "Cry for Justice," whose last issue was considered by some reviewers to be actually the worst comic ever.

I was trying to find a link to prove that, and googling "Cry for Justice" + worst comic ever leads to an astonishingly long list of results that are not just re-cites of the same review. (IOW, many people were disgusted by it.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Was that the one where the writer destroyed an entire city to kill his daughter and then Arsenal went and shot an arrow through some bad guy's head and made a dramatic quip?

Yes! Although I'm not sure about the quip.

Yep, it was "Justice." Dramatic!

Oh, I forgot how that played out -- it was Arsenal's daughter (who would be Green Arrow's granddaughter) who was killed. Green Arrow got all vigilante and killed Prometheus; Arsenal didn't kill him. Possibly because he lost an arm.

Yeah, okay, because I did think it was Green Arrow who did the killing. Because he was green and shot an arrow.
How did Arsenal lose an arm? Did his friends pull it off for science knowing it would grow back?
I don't even know who Arsenal is. Apparently Green Arrow's son.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Arsenal is Speedy.

I think "The Rise of Arsenal" took the worst ever crown. In the last issue he beat his evil ex with an extension cord, discovered he was impotent, smoked heroin, and beat up some dudes to protect a dead cat that he mistook for his daughter. Because heroin.
Then Batman kicked him in the face.
Comics, everybody!
