Spoilers for Cry for Justice #7. You have been warned! Some language. Ollie's pov
Why?
I might have done it for revenge…for the 90,000 who lost their lives… Or the one…who meant more to me than a sea of nameless faces.
I might have done it because I'm Star City's Protector – it's Hero – it's Hunter… Or because I'm a grieving grandfather who doesn't know what to tell his crippled son if – when – he wakes up.
Maybe I did it so he doesn't have to… To keep his conscience clean and from losing his soul along with everything else that was taken from him… Because I'm Roy's protector.
Maybe I just selfishly wanted to see Prometheus die!
Maybe I did it for all of the above. Does it really matter why?
The bastard is dead!
And don't tell me you're sorry I killed him, but are glad that he's gone! Hypocrites!
Maybe I did it because it was the only thing left that I could do that made any sense after we'd failed so badly…
"JUSTICE IS AN ARROW!" That's why!
Notes: I was too in shock to write anything at first, but now I'm just mad!
Why Lian, DC? Why?!? You had my money up till that point, but not anymore! I was even willing to maybe give it a try beyond that if the new writer was any good, the Blackest Night issue was promising, but the first two issues of Rise and Fall so far have left me cold with their hypocritical attitudes and Barry totally OOC when he's dissing his old friend Ollie, not to mention the mess Connor is now since the end of Winick's run. At least Mia is sticking by Ollie which is more than I can say for Dinah, y'know his wife who's killed before herself and to save Ollie no less. I'm not saying that Ollie Queen: Murderer is necessarily right, but the execution (forgive the pun) feels like a bad rehash of the Grell Years with no one even trying to understand poor Ollie's pov when he's just been to hell and back.
