So I've said in the past that I feel some pressure to write about BLUE BEETLE since Boxxet said to come here for more information about Blue Beetle. Well, I don't have to worry about that anymore since BLUE BEETLE is the latest title from DC getting the axe. I tell ya, I'm going to be having a lot more spending money soon. DC seems to have targeted my pull list, so I figure that's another three bucks I won't be spending on comics per month. Thanks to DC chopping so much stuff I'm up about twenty dollars a month.
The only problem is it's BLUE BEETLE getting the axe. This has been a favorite book of mine and quite a few other people. The main character, Jamie Reyes, is great. He's Latino, which is a really under-represented minority in comics. He's also a testament to how far DC had come. Anyone else remember Vibe? He was the break dancing member of the Justice League with the power to not only generate and control vibrations but also to be every stereotype imaginable. Fortunately, he'd dead now, and unlike Hal Jordan and Barry Allen I doubt he'll be back any time soon.
Reyes will still be around as a member of the TEEN TITANS which his presence may be the only thing keeping me on that title. BLUE BEETLE is a gem, and even though it's not quite as strong as it was with John Rogers at the helm, think it deserves a chance. At the very least, I'd like to get some trades.
I am wondering when the title chopping will stop.
