Reaction to April being a drawing

Didn't care for it, no.

In retrospect, though I didn't like it, I'd have been willing to see where Laird took the concept and how he explored the idea.

...But nah, he went absolutely nowhere with it because he lost interest in the series shortly after going through the trouble of introducing the new origin. So it winds up being this random non-sequitor with nary any impact or repercussions. (Unless you count "April being sad" as a major narrative consequence.)

It was pretty dumb on its own, but it could have at least been mined for some decent storytelling and maybe over time proven its value. But it didn't even do that.
