	Uh... yeah. NOT deeply thrilled wih this. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oddly, I AM deeply thrilled with this -- now if he does kill Black Beetle, then ... not so much. Looking into the abyss and ... stepping back, being taken to extremes is fine. But when every character becomes the Punisher, that is when I have problems. I'm not of the opinion that everything should be Marvel Adventures, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm of the same mind as long as it's not taken too far, this should be very interesting (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How many pages is the back-up? I could swear this is more than a third of it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	superfan1 2009-09-12 12:22 am UTC (link)
	10. :) Too much? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kingrockwell 2009-09-12 12:51 am UTC (link)
	Sorry, yeah. Third of ten would be three pages and one-third. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

it had some rough points. I wasn't sure what he was doing with the secret identity thing at the beginning. Perhaps he hoped the villain only thought he was Blue Beetle at first.

Of course since Black Beetle has been shown to lie about who he is and his history he might still be Hector.

I'm kind of hoping that he'll end up downloading the Scrab's programming into another recepticle to get rid of that.

	It's like Khaji Da died in the finale of Jaime's series, and now his evil twin has taken his place... I miss the old scarab... :( Still, I don't think we should call doom and gloom on the series just yet. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	colonel_green 2009-09-12 12:30 am UTC (link)
	Sturges has written the series quite well, and he's not compulsively grim by any stretch, so I wouldn't be worried. Plus, I'm pretty sure Black Beetle still features in upcoming Booster stories, so I don't think he can die in Jaime's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashez2ashes 2009-09-12 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Well, considering time travel shennanigans in Booster Gold he really COULD die here, but I'm with you I don't think he will. This is just another development in the ongoing 'something has been wrong with khaji da since he rebooted' storyline. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A google on one of the more... peculiar phrases "Moonshoes Potter" would either be a googlewhack or HAD to take me to something connected with it, gave me this link. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ashez2ashes 2009-09-12 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	It refers to the A Very Harry Potter Musical. Its up on youtube. Check it out its really brilliant. The actual icon itself came from deviantart. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	toasty_fresh 2009-09-12 02:15 am UTC (link)
	Honestly, I'm really not that fond of how Sturges has written the series. (Although by 'series' I guess I mean 'Brenda' and 'Brenda and Paco's relationship' more than anything else . . . ) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	milleniumrex 2009-09-12 12:58 am UTC (link)
	This will probably end with Black Beetle tricking Jaime into downloading whatever this lethal-force thing in Khaji Da is into him, thus making him more powerful. Meanwhile, Khaji Da goes back to normal. And honestly, if you zap Milagro, you deserve to get your guts ripped out. I just don't want it to happen because I know Jaime would wind up having nightmares. :( (Reply to this)

	thanekos 2009-09-12 01:49 am UTC (link)
	oh, who cares who black beetle is anymore? it's probably the time trapper fucking with some dude again. (Reply to this)

	Mayeb he'll nuke the whole area and kill them all. (Reply to this)

	Not worried in the least (Anonymous) 2009-09-12 03:37 am UTC (link)
	I really doubt the Black Beetle would be set up as a Magnificent Bastard just to kill him off. This reeks of a plan. BTW what does everyone thing of his "slip" that Jaimes' sister will have greater importance than him? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pyrotwilight 2009-09-12 07:21 am UTC (link)
	He might not be YET. And given time travel he might not die at all. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Remember when one of the only non-fucked-up younger heroes in the DCU was non-fucked-up? Yeah, I miss that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	timemonkey 2009-09-12 12:53 pm UTC (link)
	Well, then keep them out of the hero business because them becoming fucked up is actually a fairly logical reaction to the shit they have to face all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	runespoor7 2009-09-12 02:10 pm UTC (link)
	It'd be logical for a person, not for a character who, like Jaime, has always been depicted as being emotionally stable and with an excellent support system all around him. Jaime losing that would strip the character of a part of his originality and his appeal, imo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timemonkey 2009-09-12 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	When has DC, in the last several years, given a damn about maintaining a characters uniqueness? Remember when Bart and Kon were suddenly made vastly different just becaus eone writer felt like it? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This is the cliffhanger of the issue. He's on a trip with his best friends and family so I wouldn't be surprised if they help him take hold of the Scarab before anything horrible happen. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	psychop_rex 2009-09-12 06:37 am UTC (link)
	I'm guessing this is just a teaser - I've never yet come across an 'I'll KILL you!' cliffhanger moment where the hero actually DID wind up killing someone. My guess is that, now that the situation with the scarab going loopy is coming to a head, the next issue will clear things up again, and we'll be back more or less to normal.

	psychop_rex 2009-09-13 02:05 am UTC (link)
	It was sincere, actually - I've just been involved in a rather heated argument, and having someone say 'YES, you're right!' instead of 'NO, you're wrong!' is extremely refreshing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
