With SDCC now behind us, it's time to see what emerged from the pile of news, and there was something on Blackfire coming from Lobdell:
Apparently Blackfire is going to have some changes to her character when she appears. As most familiar with her will know that in the past many of Blackfire's actions could be traced back to her childhood where she was discarded as an hair to the throne of Tamaran due to her inability to fly in favor of the younger Starfire, the blow was enough to turn Balckfire so bitter that she sold out her entire world to the Citadel to get even and to have Starfire as her personal slave, one she would abuse mercilessly when she wasn't renting her out for others to do the same.
Now it appears that Lobdell intends to dial Blackfire's bitter and sadistic streak towards Starfire down a notch and instill some regret in her over selling her sister to the Citadel:
"Lobdell turned to the return of Starfire's sister Blackfire, noting as he did earlier in the weekend that he's changing the nature of the villain to a woman with an extreme amount of guilt over her role in selling Starfire off of their planet. "She's not the nihilistic, Machiavellian, evil role but a caring sister who betrayed Kory," he said, joking soon after that he didn't know why he was writing so many depressing stories these days". - Scott Lobdell
But apparently they are still going to fight, so who knows how the immediate RH&O future is going to turn out?
