    Make your case that DC should continue paying royalties to this guy for having created such an extraneous and piss-poor character. You can't.

    The only thing that should concern anyone when DC does the right thing and flushes her is that you might have to be out on suicide watch.
    Johns created numerous characters that will never go away. DC is still milking his GL concepts, most recently in Dark Kinghts Metal. Jessica is one of those characters, and you don't have to like her to understand that she's been one of the most visible GL characters in the last 5 years. You have to be oblivious to deny that.

      I dont see Johns going down for this. This broad comes off as kind of a pathetic attention whore.

        ^In her particular case it doesn't sound criminal. Creepy, sure; but not criminal. And did he even know she wasn't 18 (though, close, btw)?

          I'm sure Johns will be fine. The accusation is too vague and not damning enough. He said "We can have lunch," according to this person. Furthermore, she didn't post any receipts. She just said something.

          Regarding Green Lantern, one of the main reasons I opted completely out of GL is because I got tired of the glut of Earth Lanterns. I already dealt with ones I like getting ignored often, and DC added insult to injury by making even more Earth Lanterns to fight for very limited panel time and opportunities. Nowadays, I'm just like, "Do whatever you want, I don't care," and interestingly, I'm perfectly content in that position. I don't see myself going back to being a super fan of GL. Isn't worth the trouble, and the creative content they typically put out isn't up to snuff, in my opinion. Too mediocre, too boring, too disjointed...

            I'm hoping that this was just a misunderstanding.

            As for the Fisher comments, I still don't know what to make of them. I haven't seen any follow-up articles on that other than Gal Gadot's stunt double apparently agreeing with Fisher.

              The problem wasn't Marz. The problem was Raab, who didn't know how to write Kyle and removed all of his personality (or what was left of it after Winick had gotten rid of it during his run), trying to turn him into Hal. The book had sold fine under Marz.

              And I have no idea why you're desperately trying to connect Marz and Banks to the kiddie porn collector that came before them.

                Whatever happened to that asshole? Is he still rotting in prison?

                  If there's any justice, he'll keep rotting in prison for another 30 years minimum, and swallow a shard of glass on the day he's supposed to get released.

                    Marz is my favorite GL writer, possibly my all-time favorite comics writer, so I wasn't criticizing him in any way. Perish the thought. I really liked Winick's contributions to Volume 3 too. I was only trying to understand Trey's vitriol towards Johns, and if he wanted the scope of GL's world (since vol 3 is the opposite of Vol 4) to revert back the pre-Johns days.

                      She's not going anywhere. She's a pivotal face in the DC Girls show and merchandise line. Being partially created by EVS wasn't enough of the woke brigade at DC to erase her so nothing Johns can do will have her erased.

                        Dan DiDio is gone, and I think he was the one who was pushing "everything but white males" on small kids, which was a complete waste of resources. Such things might get rethought now, especially as they cause the further enriching of Johns.

                          When Guy is making regular appearances in a book again I'll believe it. The collapse of sales hasn't made Marvel re think that strategy so I doubt DC will either.

                            I'm still looking forward to a time when John's grubby fingerprints aren't still visibly all over the GL franchise.

                              That would take a colossal universal reboot for that to happen.

                              Anybody know what the douche has been up to besides not making his deadlines or being able to fuck up the GLC with his movie script?

                                His Three Jokers starts this month. Or maybe it's out already. I wouldn't know. Ever since UCS took over from Diamond, I haven't received a single shipment.
