The more I think about Ronnie’s actions in Brightest Day, the more I think Ronnie’s behavior is temporary. While he’ll remain somewhat irresponsible, I think he’ll cut out the partying and drinking. I believe he’s trying to drown out the mental anguish he’s feeling over dying and what the Black Lantern did in his place. Just my current thought process.

Thanks for all the comments!

It used to be common to sprinkle everyone’s dialog with Yiddish but only Bendis keeps that tradition alive now.

Anyhoo, super-fun. Was not aware of this! Fun!

So a fella just needed some puffy sleeves and a flaming noggin? Who knew?

I’m with Luke in questioning the decision of bringing back Ronnie as a party animal. I think any competent writer could still find plenty of adversity between Ronnie and Jason without degrading Ronnie’s character.

Of course, Brightest Day isn’t over yet, so there may be more to Ronnie than we’ve seen yet.

What’s odd to me is that, at least recenly, Power Girl has been pushed as being older and Firestorm is being pushed to be younger! I’m still trying to figure out why Ronnie came back as a frat guy and not as the guy we saw in Power Company, for instance (well, besides the obvious).
