It's an odd little arc.

I've read the first three trades, and I don't even remember her.

My only real complaint is wow, Alan Scott being gay is really cheap. I have nothing against making established characters gay - I mean it's Earth 2 in the first place for Christ's Sake - but I'm only happy with the change if it's done in a meaningful way and it isn't some cheap novelty to sell comics. Alan Scott being gay is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT about selling comics and it makes no attempt to disguise it at all.

Sam literally gets killed off like two panels, and maybe a single page, after he gets a gay kiss with Alan. Like literally Sam could have been a llama, caused just as much controversy and been just as superfluous. Shit like this is why comics gets a bad wrap.

Yay! Another Earth 2 fan! We can start a party with Switchblade, now!

Alan Scott being gay is a bit superfluous, but I don't think it's too intrusive. I see it more like his hair being blonde—it's a part of him, but not a big part.
