I am upset at Lian's death because it highlights how deconstructive comic books have become. I am not against having heroes suffer, but there has to be a pay-off.

Well, considering what Marvel has done to the Punisher there may be a market out there. However, DC already has a character like that in The Vigilante. Now why doesn't DC use The Vigilante? I think it has to do with a series of essays by a real life attorney. I can't find the link a this moment, but he destroyed the basis of The Vigilante's motives.
A reason I found on the DCMB is that Lian's very existance ages Roy. She's a casulty of the clamor for a more Silver Age feel to comics.
