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

It would make him go away.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It would make him go away.

You have way more faith in DC Editorial than I do, I fear.

Make him more dead, and I bet he'd wind up with his own Vertigo title.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh! I hear the Green Arrow title is rocking hard right now. How far back would I have to go to understand what's going on? I know that Ollie is a pussy hound and used to be an item with Dinah, Ray was his "ward" who picked up the same attitude toward women and was a junkie and who loves Nightwing most of all and has a kid though I have no idea where she came from, Connor is is biological son, and Mia is....something and is HIV-positive.

If I know all that, how far back do I need to go in the current run?

Really, because it's such a current continuity heavy title, I'd go back to the beginning of the reboot (Green Arrow: Quiver, by Kevin Smith), and read all the trades that you can.

Roy's daughter Lian comes from his affair with the assassin Cheshire. Who is evil. Mia is also Ollie's ward. She starts off in Quiver.

Hmm. If you're feeling like just going back a few, the last two arcs and the current one would do it for you.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

One of my former roomies had the theory that Rayner must be an incredible lay, because why else would former model/superheroines like Jade and Donna get involved with an insecure moron that lives from paycheck to paycheck and has alien supervillains crashing into his apartment on a weekly basis?

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Actually, Matt, I *totally* believe that.

Plus, pretty, although any girl fighting crime in the DCU would have more than enough pretty to pick from.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well, we know Kyle has a good imagination...

I have a plan.

And with that ring, able to make *anything*, well the possibilities are endless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Me, I'd totally F Kilowog.

That crush goes way back.

I think you'd have to presume he's all knobby and shit.
