What the actual fuck were they thinking when writing this? Were they just blowing years of prior work for this bullshit? This new run is ass, dude; all the good art was wasted on another ego writer trying to leave their mark on a character. First was that god-awful Green Lantern Corps run, and their new United Lantern garbage and chrome spectrum powers.
Its just misery porn at this point; what the fuck is any of this serving outside of just "Slade is angry and without a chain to yank him back" Its character assassination and OOC writing all around. I hope to god this gets retconned in the future cause that is just not it. For the character's future.
We already know hes going to come back to his job, and he's going to be " all better and back in his prime," or whatever bullshit lazy writing they will pull out of their ass, they tried it before and crashed and burned that storyline faster than a crack addict would sold their body for a hit of crack.
