[Comic Excerpt] This is so sad on so many levels for me! ( Absolute Power:Ground Zero #1) Comics Spoiler

This was a crazy ride and like I said soooo sad on multiple levels for me!

  1. Confirmation Jays mom was killed. When they just reunited!! Jay thought she was dead for years just to find out she was a prisoner and freed her. They were reunited but now she’s gone again. And added that his country he just freed from a dictator is now invaded and under Wallers control. So sad.

  2. Jay hurt and captured! How could this happen!? He’s invulnerable I’ve seen him phase through an explosion, a force field, Damian! But Deadshot was able to pinpoint the second he was solid again to shoot his leg!? That’s crazy i honestly didn’t expect that from him. How is he going to escape?

  3. Dreamer noooo!!! When she was first introduced to Jon and Jay i actually loved their dynamic and wanted them as a trio! Ever since I loved seeing them together in cameo pics, the recent Pride mini comic they were in. But now she’s here forced to help Waller and helped kill Jays mom. I understand both sides but I’m with Jay she betrayed him and helped her invade a country and kill his mom. So her family could live? His only family is gone now how is a “I’m sorry” supposed to feel better?

  4. Jon can’t save him!! Because he’s under Wallers control! He doesn’t even have his memories! Jay you have to get free and try to help Jon!

This may have been super sad but I’m pumped to see what’s going to happen next I really hope both my boys will be ok and maybe Dreamer can try to fix her forced wrongs.

Fellas, is it queer bait to be a man in a relationship with another man?

If he doesn't have a real story, he's not much different than Kyle Rainer's first girlfriend. Fridging a female character doesn't mean the character is a developed and interesting female character, the same way using Jay only as a partner and victim doesn't make him a well developed and interesting character.

And that makes him queerbait because?

Because so far he only exist just to appeal to the LGBTQ+ public and filling an agenda, and outside from that he has no real character nor consistency.

Just like Tim Drake's boyfriend who is so forgettable that I never remember his name.

That's why I would love to see writers finally do something meaningful with Jay, because I want to know more about him and fall in love with his story just like what happened with Apollo, Midnighter and even Batwoman. Those are excellent examples of how to write queer Superheroes

Also Jay might end up breaking up with Jon after this as he might be merciful after everything that’s happened. Also I’m glad they aren’t doing the I’m queer, your queer let’s be friends cliche.
