Why "Blue Beetle: Rebirth" #1 Is DC Comics' Perfect, Hopeful New Title

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

I have not liked the change of scarab origin, from alien tech to magic. Already has many characters with mythical background in DC.

Yeah. I'm somewhat of the same mind. I mean, they already changed it from magic to alien tech back in '06. Now, they're changing it back?

Again, once they whack Jaimie and bring back Ted 100%, THEN I will buy this book.

Never gonna happen dude. Jaime is popular.

Tell that to the Ted Kord fans.

Tell that to the Ted Kord fans.

Jaime has the advantage of multiple outside media appearances (cartoons, video games, and live action).

If you were really a Kord fan, you'd be rejoicing that DC brought him back instead of protesting it.

Yeah, I think Ted's better in a team or duo, so he has someone to bounce off of. His strengths get diminished if he's by himself, I think....

Decent issue overall, will be interested in seeing where it goes. Also thought it was neat how this basically showed us what happened leading up to Ted & Jaimie's disscision in the DCU Rebirth Special.

I liked it a lot. Jaime and Ted's interactions were fun, and it feels way more like the old BB series than the new one. Almost to the point of feeling repetitive at times, but I'm sticking with it.

Some people have it in their heads that you have to choose sides and can only like one. lol.

Be fortunate that Ted is alive at all.

I do hope it's some trick or something about the magic Scarab origin. I know that kind of links back to the original Scarab with Garrett being magical but still... Trying to keep an open mind about it but the Reach seem so linked to Jaime that it's like saying that the Oan Power Ring isn't hyper advanced Guardian tech but rather magic. Will see how things go.

Yeah being popular sure did wonders for John Stewart, Wally West, Tim Drake and Cassandra Cain.

Wally, Tim & Cassandra account for 500 solo issues and yet one became pitch toxic and edited out of books, one got replace by a black kid and one got butchered in Teen Titans.

The other guy's fans got told your money is no longer welcome here.

Being popular means NOTHING if the folks in charge don't care.


As for the only can be one mess-that is DC MANAGEMENT edging that crap on.

It's DC that keeps forcing the issue-which will lead to the mess you keep seeing elsewhere with guys screaming they can't enjoy some guy named Steve or Peter because guys named Miles & Sam are around.

You should never have your fanbase so divided that it hurts your franchise.

At least this book is trying to mend something that shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Question:
How DID Jaime meet Ted?
I figure it must have been some time after the events in Threshold.

Loved this so much! I, too, wished there was a little less action and a little more character interaction, but as a first issue I couldn't have asked for more. Ted and Jaime's back-and-forth was terrific and I love the set-up and the art. Plus, the Bug is back!!

[JasonTodd428]

I loved every panel of this. Ted and Jaime's interactions were fun and I liked the set up.
