In the comics Robyn is 4 years older than April and has a son who'd be in his mid 20's by now in Vol 4. He was only seen briefly in City at War when he was like 4 or 5 years old. At the time April was living with Robyn, who was recently divorced.

But yea.. Robyn is the only hrm real child of the O'Neil's. Apperantly there was complications when Robyn was born that prevented them from having another child. But that all changed when Mr. O'Neil baught the magic crystal at an auction.

This is one of many reasons I'm not sad Vol. 4 hasn't returned to publication.
WTF?!

Wow. April is a living drawing. That is really screwed up.

I also missed the issue where April's origin is revealed and ....I'm okay with that.
But, Robyn was, as far as I can remember, introduced in City at War. April leaves NYC to live in California. For a time, she lives with Robyn and Robyn's young son before returning to NY.

Sweet I get to correct Rose (although I know it wasn't an intentional error).

April's dad used the crystal that Kirby used, not the pencil .

Anywho, the issue was alright. I haven't read much of Vol. 4 though. I think it was a bit to Kafka-ish for my tastes. Brought back memories of high school english lol

^ I don't see why should cannot make a cameo at least much like the current series had. I doubt she will get a major recurring role in the show. I don't have much to explain why I don't think she will but she just doesn't seem important to the story.

Robyn was much better looking in the comics.

I think the only reason they added her in 2K3 is to round April's backstory a little bit.

Man, I hope April's a normal human in 2K3. I will scream if she's a pencil drawing again!

Her drawn origin is unique to the comics. She is human in the current series on 4kids.

For now, anyway. Renet already foreshadowed helping April with something in the series, which could be this.

Laird complained about it so I'm guessing April is going to be legit. It would be nice to see Kirby again, or at least his magic crystal.

^ Ditto. Maybe since he saved that world, he's a hero and gets all the ladies so he doesn't want to come back.

Or since everything he drew ended up there maybe it wouldn't work. But I can't blame the guy for wanting to stay in the New Genesis/Asgard deal he had going on.

His warp crystal made it back though...maybe he couldn't follow it. If it was the same shard.

If Aprils' parents were able to have Robyn in a normal reproductive way, why did they have to draw April?
