"Blue Beetle" Artist Scott Kolins Shows Off Adventurous Ted Kord Design

"Supporting" a book with the BB we want as a side character will only lead to more comics with BB as a side character. Boycott the book if you want a proper BB book.

They'll just bench the whole concept and you won't get anything.

That will only make DC think no one likes him at all. Buying this book and vocally supporting Ted, the best of the Blue Beetles, is probably the most effective way to keep him around. Besides Ted works great as part of a duo or a team.

I was wearing the same blue beetle shirt the first time I saw Ted's new costume(well shirt with a beetle).

So Ted Kord is gone for year he finally starts making a comeback which could lead to bigger things down the road and his fans want to boycott the book.

I wouldn't consider them fans if they are willing to boycott the return of a favorite character. I didn't hear anyone complaining that Wally West(OG version) didn't get his own book. We were just happy for his return.

I like the new take on the costume, although I'm not sure I see how a t-shirt and pants is "adventurous". Seems to lean more towards an everyday look.

[Kolimar]

I wonder if we will be getting to see Booster at all in this series?

Sure, at some point in the future. As long as the series lasts long enough for them to get to it.

Exactly. ...

Agreed. ...

Jaime Reyes is Blue Beetle!! Get over it. He's been Blue Beetle for the past decade and the one fans associate with the mantle. A simple google search or search on social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr...etc) will show you this. Be lucky they brought Ted back at all, since they didn't have to. They could have easily made Dan Garret Jaime's mentor, the ORIGINAL Blue Beetle! Geez...

Well aren't you just a basket of sunshine.

I like the new look for Ted Kord and I'm glad that Giffen is on the book. Other than that, I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I hated how Ted Kord died (Countdown to Infinite Crisis was terrible and childish), but I moved on years ago and Jaime grew on me. I hope they won't turn Jaime into a sidekick.

I was just being honest. Truth hurts sometimes.

Jesus, guys. As much as I sympathize with your admiration of Ted, Jaime is still a great character. I'm glad Ted is gonna be here and act as a a mentor to Jaime.

I have never put down Jaime. He is a great character in his own right and deserves to shine here as much as Ted. In fact I don't recall anyone saying anything negative about Jaime at all. The only possible negative comments came from The_Cat(translated from spanish) and they weren't even that negative. The_Cat was just just showing his support for Jaime and saying it could be worse for Ted supports and to be thankful for his return. Or there was Herowatcher(kind of a creepy name) saying he would like to see a Ted solo outing.
