Teen suicide is something that seems really hard to write about, because you risk making the character overly virtuous and all Martyr-like, or do the opposite and show just how 'realistic' they were and make them a horrible human being who I can't feel any sympathy for. Kudos to Perez for writing Lucy in a way that acknowledges she was a person who could be an asshole, but it was still horribly depressing and absolutely awful that she died so young and was sick for so long.

Those last lines keep ringing through me. I can't help but think about all the times my friends have talked about dying and the afterlife. Are they thinking about killing themselves? I doubt it, but you never know, right?

Seriously DC, wtf? You'll trade the crapfest that was Batgirl Volume 2 six months after it comes out, but you won't trade a heartbreakingly sad, but really good story like this?
