Pre-52 Roy was probably among my top 4 comics characters. I don't enjoy his current version as much but HATE the thought he's cannon fodder for a crisis event. Yet another series where characters are tossed in the grave really disinterests me too.
Edit (sorry, wrong thread)

Wish we got to see more time with the sidekicks but oh well. It was nice seeing him and Aqualad close which is surprising since they are more antagonistic with each other. (That was Garth but you know what I mean.)
God I love YJ. It is a pretty near perfect DCU in my eyes.

In my mind, New 52 and Rebirth did Roy ABSOLUTELY NO FAVOURS.
To me, the character barely resembled the one I'd read for more than decade before.
Everything that made Roy interesting was either tinkered with, distorted or straight up removed.
His tattoos, his heritage, his family, his dynamic with both Dinah & Ollie, his portrayal in Titans, Lian - all was screwed with to the point where I viewed this person as a different Roy Harper entirely.
"My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

Yeah, Roy dies. And so does Wally.

Honestly Roy's confessional in HiC is probably the best he's been written since Pre-Flashpoint. God that's sad.

Imagine being proud to have negative traits. I can’t relate.
DC: Justice League, The Flash, Justice League Dark, Superman, Action Comics, Green Arrow, Justice League Odyssey, The Terrifics, Teen Titans, Titans, Brimstone, Female Furies, Damage, Heroes In Crisis
Marvel: The Punisher, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Venom, X-23, Cloak and Dagger, Jessica Jones, Sentry
Indies: Unnatural, Jeepers Creepers, Project Superpowers, Black Hammer, Ninja-K
On this page there are two positive posts up above about YJ Roy. I post positive when I think it deserves it, most of current DC does not deserve it in my eyes.
Also that post is more sarcastic if anything, I do think that page is well written but it's too little too late. His characterization has been awful since the reboot.
