So, the reboot is looking pretty bad for the Arrow kids. There's no indication we'll have Mia anytime soon, Connor apparently "ages Ollie up" too much- nevermind that Bruce totally had time for four Robins and a ten-year-old kid and that Connor was born well before Ollie became Green Arrow- and, of course, Lian, who should also have been born before her father's current identity change, also apparently ages Roy up too much. Suffice to say, current plans don't hold much hope for these three.

Of course, plans can be changed.

This may just be a pipe dream, but I’ve been considering trying to get some good fan action going to demand their return- tweeting Krul and co., writing letters to DC, starting a petition, etc.- but it’ll take a fair number of people and some level of coordination to really make ourselves heard.

Turns out, Scans_Daily has a fair number of people and a good platform for coordination.

So, what do you all say to some type of mass effort? If nothing else, just a designated day to spam DC's, Krul’s, and other relevant creator's twitters with #bringbackconnorhawke, #bringbackmiadearden, #bringbacklianharper, #bringbackthearrowkids or some similar message would catch a few eyes, but even that requires getting people together and semi-organized.

Any ideas? Anyone with petition experience would be especially great.

For legality, a few scans.

From GA V2 #106, Connor being adorable:





And three pages from GA V3 # 32:

On a night out with Roy, Connor and his brother are in a convenience store when a group of men try to rob it. After taking a few down, one of them gets behind Connor.






Some Mia from GA V3 # 3, saying what we've all been thinking:



And finally, some Lian from Superboy v3 #82 just being generally <3:

Same issue, page nine. Exact quote is:

"Why does everyone think I'm gay? I don't care, really, but what is it-- just because I don't chase women like Ollie?"

He also seemed totally indifferent to the strippers in the place Roy brought him to.

Fun fact? He was originally intended to be gay, though, until DC chickened out. Still is in my head canon.

Was he? I didn't know that! I thought he was a Chuck Dixon creation -- which kind of tells me that's why he wasn't revealed to be gay. :(

Nope. Puckett and Aparo. Dixon wrote a lot of his later V2 stuff, though, which is probably a large part of it. *sigh*
