That doesn't mean the current era will be better for her and it will take awhile to know the reality there, but Vita and Hickman's Lorna felt like Lorna to me not Jean. I didn't see how it opened doors for the character, the current set up is not exactly opening doors for her either, though I would rather the current set up and depiction then Lorna on an ongoing built around a 80s/90s framework that is destined to fail.
