Blue Beetle #14 Storytime

WAIT DON'T LEAVE YET
THERE'S A NEW CREATIVE TEAM

...

Oh that's his LEG!

I pray this is better than Giffens run

You would think that would be public knowledge.

>Jaime has only had 2 appearances outside of his own ongoing outside of Rebirth, a panel in Metal and as a corpse in a panel in Superman #30
>no other book has even referenced Ted
Why you gotta leave BB out of the fun man?

...

Slow but the dialogue is nowhere near as bad as Giffens was.
Reminder that this book may end at #18

Still no Reach.

>plans bright future for prodigy
>Goes on secretive trip alone
With those red flags they are gonna kill him again aren't they...

Sigh, can't he just stay a support character or give him a new role. I get comedy characters go with tragedy but killing him again is just lazy writing. He wouldn't even be uncle benning at this point since Jaime is already fairly mature.

Isn't already cancelled though?

Ends at 18

>may
It WILL end.
It's the worst rebirth book. Yes, even worse than Justice League and Harley Quinn.

bullshit, nothing may be happening here but at least the banter is kind of refreshing
Hitch's JL is basically Monster of the Week done badly (you really must be a shit JL writer to have Green Arrow's enemies seem more menacing than JL-level threats) and Harley is just a book to get that sweet fanboy/-girl $$
also I think Superwoman and Supergirl are below BB (with Superwoman having one interesting idea that got shafted and Supergirl having exactly one really good scene)

That's not Cyborg or Suicide Squad

>It's the worst rebirth book
It's definitely not the worse. But it did next to nothing for any of its characters.

It's not worse than Batman Beyond, Superwoman, Superman or Action Comics.

THAT'S A LOT OF ZITS.

I am reading all of Jaime's lines in Will Friedle's voice.

>Sebela
Yeah, don't think so.

UGGGH FUCK why did they give it to Giffen in the first place?! Hus run in the 00s was good, his New52 was shit, Threshold was shit, this is shit- I'm so angry at Giffen and whoever chose him.

It's a Man in the Maze symbol, if you know some custom graphic design site you can probably get it done.

I hate the eyes in this

Giffen didn't write the New 52 run, that was Tony Bedard.

>THERE'S A NEW CREATIVE TEAM
Art's just as shit as ever.

How's the writing?
>CW tier "keeping secrets because reasons" relationship drama
Dropped.

this

Why is the art so shit in this? I was especially excited for Ted and waiting for trades to import them, this is the first issue I actually tried, and I'm not surprised they're cancelling the book anymore.
Will still probably buy trades, unless they really kill off Ted before Booster reappears. Then I will just save money for a second JLI omnibus or something.

The best parts of the 00s run weren't even written by Giffen. Rogers wrote most of the stuff with the Reach

Dropped this book during the first arc since it seemed confusing and didn't know what it really wanted to be, are you science or magic Blue Beetle, WHAT!? Did the writing ever improve?

Because Giffen and his stupid shit, probably

As much as I loved the 06 BB series, I've been pretty ambivalent on this. Maybe the new writer can turn it around, but I doubt it, so I won't be particularly sad if this ends at 18.
It's a shame. New 52 and Rebirth have both dropped the family and friendship elements that made the original so good and made Jaime stand out a bit. It shouldn't be hard to continue in that spirit, but so far Rebirth has just felt like a generic superhero story. And they didn't make the dynamic between Jaime and Ted remotely compelling or interesting.
>Oh good Paco and Brenda will probably stop arguing now that they're dating
>Nooooooope

Jaime seems popular for people that know him, but DC just can't seem to figure out where to insert him.

Now that the Scarab has been retconned to be magic instead of alien, they may be gone? I guess they can still be inserted, but not in the same way.

Well this was better than the previous Rebirth run.

I just can't believe how much of a disappointment his book has been. It was fucking so simple to make it good as well. Just have Ted AND Jaime both be active as Beetles, but give them a master/apprentice role. Then once they're gotten to know each other have them track down Booster. Simple and fun.

Instead the first 13 issues was one long boring slog.

A decent compromise would be to make the Scarab a type of Alien Magic

the last run wss so forgettable I dont even know who this chick is.

This read much better than the last few issues. Thanks for the story time OP
