11:12 am [thanekos] [Link]	The Blue Beetle's Enemies, Part the Tri: The Calculator (a henchman's story) and Chronos V1 after going up against the arson-fueled vengeance of Firefist, dealing with the return of the Madmen and watching Doctor Alchemy destroy himself, Ted next found both himself and the Question tangling with the Muse, a gun-having crazypants with a plan to unite the city's warriors-esque gangs under his command to take on the current criminal syndicate in charge. ... however, as most of the good stuff from that's already been covered, I'll skip him. If you want a full account of how it all goes down, a quick google'll avail you. ( But on to the next... villain, so to speak. ) Current Music: VNV Nation - Saviour Tags: char: blue beetle/ted kord, char: calculator/noah kuttler, char: chronos/david clinton, creator: len wein, creator: paris cullins (16 comments \| Leave a comment)

10:38 am [thanekos] [Link]	The Blue Beetle's Enemies, Part the Next: Doctor Alchemy and the Madmen! (yeah, Doctor Alchemy's a Flash villain. Not all of his villains are original to the series, but they fight Beetle nonetheless.) so, after the Incendiary Man's vanishing (complete with a "We found no body in the fire", leaving him open to a return, which he apparently pulls off as a kill-people-with-fire-for-hire guy at a time down the road), it's time for one of the several foreshadowings laid out over the past two issues to pay off. ( Foreshadowings like this one, from Blue Beetle #2... ) Current Music: Heartful Neko-romancer - ARM Tags: char: blue beetle/ted kord, char: doctor alchemy/alvin desmond, char: question/vic sage, creator: len wein, creator: paris cullins (13 comments \| Leave a comment)

10:06 am [thanekos] [Link]	The Blue Beetle's Enemies, Part the First: Firefist, the Incendiary Man! Ted fought more than the comic results of his own actions and the Madmen. Who knew, eh? And he fought some rather interesting enemies too. ( But heck, so did Dan Garrett... ) Current Music: Rush - Depeche Mode Tags: char: blue beetle/ted kord, creator: len wein, creator: paris cullins (16 comments \| Leave a comment)

08:25 pm [bluefall] [Link]	Apparently Wein got the memo McDuffie having gotten booted off JLA for telling it like it is, DC passed the baton to Robinson, but he was still too busy with CRY ~~THAT THE WRITING'S SO BAD~~ FOR JUSTICE to jump on right away, I guess, because they've got Len Wein doing a filler arc about the Royal Flush Gang. Which I'm actually rather liking, for reasons which are probably fairly obvious under the cut. ( It also helps that the cover is badass. ) Tags: char: vixen/mari jiwe mccabe, char: wonder woman/diana of themyscira, creator: len wein, creator: tom derenick, title: justice league of america (68 comments \| Leave a comment)

12:39 am [kingrockwell] [Link]	It's Not About The Answers: Behind The Mask Of Vic Sage, pt 4 Intermission: Hangin' with Beetle (pt 2) With special bonus: Vic's Cool Quota Runs A Surplus Tonight we're looking at Blue Beetle v6 #'s 5-7, by Len Wein and Paris Cullins. There's a lot of crazy meta stuff surrounding this arc. It ends two months before Ted plays his part in the Legends cross-over, which lead to JLI, so he hasn't really fostered any relationships with DC natives yet, so they apparently decided to reinforce his friendship with a fellow Charlton immigrant first. Also, and really, really interestingly, Vic's guest spot in BB #'s 4-7 (#4, if you'll remember, we glanced at in our last post) were released concurrently with the first four issues of Watchmen. It's makes me curious as to whether this arc happened to further establish Vic and Ted's partnership in order to legitimatize the homage of Rorschach and Nite Owl. It's a lot to think about. ( But, more than that, these are just really great comics. ) Current Music: Muse ~ "Map Of The Problematique" (it's on repeat, i won't let myself stop it) Tags: char: angel/archangel/warren worthington, char: blue beetle/ted kord, char: question/renee montoya, char: question/vic sage, creator: cully hamner, creator: len wein, creator: louise simonson, creator: paris cullins, creator: walt simonson, publisher: dc comics, publisher: marvel comics, series: it's not about the answers, title: blue beetle, title: x-factor (28 comments \| Leave a comment)

05:40 pm [porringer] [Link]	Mr Miracle - really as awesome as you all said So, without you guys at s_d I never would have heard of Blue Beetle, or Booster Gold, or Mr Miracle, or Big Barda. I never would have been at my first ever comics' fair, looking through boxes. I wouldn't have looked at the section labelled Mr Miracle and I would have missed HOLY SHIT, YOU GUYS! THE MOTHER LODE! 50p each! I was very restrained and only bought 8 issues. ( See some of the awesome moments from issue 7 :) Many pictures ) Tags: char: big barda/barda free, char: blue beetle/ted kord, char: booster gold/michael jon carter, char: mr. miracle/scott free, creator: j.m. dematteis, creator: len wein, creator: sean phillips, title: mr. miracle (22 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:39 am [kingrockwell] [Link]	It's Not About The Answers: Behind The Mask Of Vic Sage, pt 3 Intermission: Hangin' With Beetle (pt 1) with special bonus: Vic Walks In Two Worlds In 1981, after thirteen years of surviving on licensed comics, Charlton was falling apart. A new volume of Charlton Bullseye was launched to feature new talent and hopefully strike gold, and the first issue went to writer Benjamin Smith and artist Dan Reed, who decided the thing Charlton needed was something it already had. ( featuring scans from Charlton Bullseye v #1, Americomics Special #1, Crisis On Infinite Earths #6 and Blue Beetle v6 #4 ) Tags: char: blue beetle/ted kord, char: captain atom/nathaniel adam, char: nightshade/eve arden, char: question/vic sage, creator: benjamin smith, creator: dan reed, creator: dan st. john, creator: george perez, creator: greg guler, creator: len wein, creator: marv wolfman, creator: matt feazell, creator: paris cullins, publisher: ac comics, publisher: charlton, publisher: dc comics, series: it's not about the answers, title: blue beetle, title: crisis on infinite earths (16 comments \| Leave a comment)
