My only experience with Blue Beetle is in Green Lantern: New Guardians, so that may or may not be the best representation of how Blue Beetle comics usually are.Rick Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225465451764223481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-83649937858227671252016-08-24T22:11:08.881-04:002016-08-24T22:11:08.881-04:00You're not missing anything on the Ted Kord fr...You're not missing anything on the Ted Kord front. He never died in the New 52 and the only time we ever saw him was right before Forever Evil when Lex Luthor wanted to buy Kord Industries from him...... the only weird thing is, Teddy came off about 17 years old in that and is easily at least 25 in this issue.Eric Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608213100601078621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-68063216770885712122016-08-24T22:05:55.703-04:002016-08-24T22:05:55.703-04:00Blue Beetle is one of my favorite heroes...

Maybe he never died in this continuity? The last Ted story I read was in Johns run of Booster Gold (wonderful). Also thought it was odd that Ted seemed to not know who Dr Fate was considering they were founding members of JL post Legends. My favorite DC team of all time is the bwa-ha-ha JL. Giffen on a BB book with Ted and Dr Fate, my expectations were running wild with excitement. Didn't hate this issue, but it felt a little foreign to me. The bickering seemed a bit forced as well. Gonna stick with it and try to leave my past experiences with the characters and writer in the truck.

The 2 things that brought my score down was, Not getting to find out how Ted & Jaime meet, and Paco & Brenda's relationship being almost like they hate each other. In the run before the new 52, Paco, Brenda and Jaimes family is just as much a central part of his book as Jaime his. I'll still give this my 3 Issue Pick/Drop. <br />6.5/10 Please, Please get Better. Action Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897822189163698025noreply@blogger.com
