I hate it when beloved characters get a bloody, shock-value death. At least, let it be a blaze of glory!

Haven' t they retconned her back in at least once?

Depends on which reality we are talking about, I guess.
Seriously though, I can't remember Katma being retconned in. She certainly deserves to be, but she didn't benefit along with the other "Lost Lanterns" found on the Manhunter homeworld (Arisia,who also had a pretty bad death; Boodikka, Kreon, etc.)

Katma Tui will become DCs Uncle Ben*!
* Assuming he hasn't been brought back. I originally typed Bucky Barnes..

Would it count as being brought back if it were due to a reboot?

dunno. There are characters that I won't follow in a reboot if they've been ruined in a previous version. So, I'm counting something there.

Sarky mentioned Robinson on the Wondy thread, so there are writers I won't follow across reboots either.

Just as well. Comics should be for fun. We should avoid those things that infuriate us. Which is why I try my best to ignore comments on Facebook psots

I think comics can be more than just "fun". I think it's even okay for them to "infuriate" us at times. But the latter shouldn't occur because the creators are shitting all over beloved characters and concepts. The problem is, different fans have different opinions as to what constitutes such instances of "shitting"!

We also have different opinions on what would be a realistic "evolution" of a character.

You could choose to feel like an inspirational enabler. It's really the enabling bit that counts

Enablement and empowerment are key components of employee engagement.

I thought those were art like the "Hang in There" kitty posters.
