The "DC" Stands for "Dead Chicks"
Okay, for those of you who aren't familiar with Ron Marz and his "brilliant" career writing for Green Lantern, a little summary: Once upon a time, Kyle Rayner, the Green Lantern, came home to find a note from his girlfriend Alex, saying that she'd left something in the fridge. He opens the fridge, and what does he find? Alex, folded in half, dead. The incident led to female comic book writer Gail Simone creating Women in Refrigerators, the tell-all guide to the trauma suffered by female superheroes and female companions of male superheroes.
Now, Ron Marz comes back to wrap up Kyle Rayner's time as the Green Lantern, only to have the same supervillain who offed his girlfriend do the same to his mom. And where does Kyle find his mother? Folded up in the oven, dead.
Seriously. Comic book readers deserve better. Hell, comic book characters deserve better. So, fuck you, Ron Marz. Fuck you right in the ear.
