[Characters of DC] Month Three: An Archer’s Tale: The Life and Times of Roy Harper

I read The New Teen Titans #20 and there was no Roy! What’s going on? Okay, I’m on the wrong book, my bad.
As for The New Teen Titans #20 (1984) I really enjoyed both issues, cuz everyone has got so many issues. Donna and Terry, Garth is mourning, Wally is trying to figure out how to live up to Barry’s memory, and Jason’s just happy to be there. But the center of the story is 100% Roy and Cheshire and this really works. She’s a mercenary willing to kill for a buck, but her motivations sometimes go deeper. He’s torn between duty and love. Suddenly, carbon copy Roy is the most interesting character on the page. Just goes to show, a good writer can work any character.


PS I never liked Terry, he’s always been a jerk and a loser. Now, Donna is expected to forgive him because he’s only a loser? No thanks.
