Sometimes it's a sad occasion when Bleeding Cool has the opportunity to say, "pip pip." Today is one of those occasions, as DC's February solicitations have confirmed that Blue Beetle #18 will be the final issue of that comic. As we reported in October, deleted tweets from writer Christopher Sebela implied that this month's cancellation was[...]

An impressive feat in the modern comic book industry. Last month, however, Bleeding Cool speculated that Blue Beetle could be the first, after Christopher Sebela made the following comments about taking over as writer on the book: I guess this is officially out there so I can show you a thing I have been writing[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] With Blue Beetle #11, we are finally at the end of the Arion, Lord of Atlantis, arc of the series Jaime Reyes has reclaimed the Scarab and defeated Arion with the help of Ted Kord, the Flash of the year 3000, Omac, and Doctor Fate Only one hangup: The Scarab has taken over Jaime Reyes[...]

Cully Hamner who is know for his work on Green Lantern: Mosaic, Blue Beetle, Black Lightning: Year One and of course the Warren Ellis series Red that was turned into two Bruce Willis movies Looks like Cully is working his way through the rainbow on book titles He design of the Jaime Reyes version of[...]

However, I wrote it off the same as the most recent Nova title, which brought back the long-missed Richard Rider, as another squandered opportunity for greatness. However, where Marvel viciously and preemptively killed Nova, DC has actually given Blue Beetle time to stretch its wings and get a feel for itself As a result, this book[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] While both Jaime Reyes and Ted Kord Blue Beetles (never read anything with the actual original), Keith Giffen and Scott Kolins Blue Beetle was not a fun read initially One major turn-off to the book was the constant damn bickering between any two characters but especially between Jaime Reyes and Ted Kord themselves. Interior conflict[...]

A few changes twixt solicitation and publication… Blue Beetle #8 was solicited as written by Keith Giffen, but now JM DeMatteis will be scripting the comic. Hellblazer #9 was solicited with art from Philip Tan but is now by Davide Fabbri & Jose Marzan Jr. And this cover… Is being replaced by one by Declan Shalvey. [...]

Blue Beetle vs Elongated Man In truth, I often just forget Elongated Man exists He's a cool character, but doesn't get much love So to make this battle more interesting, they brought in Danny Pudi and Ron Funchess from NBC's Powerless to back their heroes Funchess takes the side of Ted Kord and his awesome[...]

There are new Spotify playlists out there now for Blue Beetle, Deathstroke and Supergirl. The list for Blue Beetle comes from artist Scott Kolins and can be found here. Deathstroke's list was compiled by artist Carlo Pagulayan and inker Jason Paz and is here. And writer Steve Orlando, penciller Emanuela Lupacchino and inker Ray McCarthy pulled together the[...]

New reports say that Berlanti is developing a Booster Gold / Blue Beetle film that he would also direct As you'd expect with these particular characters, the theme of the film will be more comedic and work like a buddy cop movie This would be in great contrast to the current slate of DC films in[...]

1 Convergence #4 Convergence: Booster Gold #1 Convergence: Blue Beetle #1 Convergence: Shazam! #1 Convergence: Infinity Inc #1 Convergence: World's Finest Convergence: Detective Comics #1 The Multiversity #2 Fantastic Four #645 (Marvel, $5.99) By Jeb D. We didn't know it at the time, of course, but Fantastic Four #100 was the twilight of the Stan Lee-Jack Kirby partnership; they would do just two more issues[...]

It has been a story that Wein really feels is a classic Swamp Thing tale. Lobdell said it was an honor to sit beside Wein, who invented Swamp Thing, and Wolverine, to applause, and was asked about Convergence Blue Beetle Blue Beetle's "sneaky story" from Lobdell was that he really wanted to do the Charlton Heroes[...]

We have Pre-52 Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. We have a Pre-52 Ice. And now we have a Pre-52 Fire on her way. Add to that a Superman who behaves more like Guy Gardner. And a mysterious new foe. Oh balls, I'll give that away as well. A dark, scarred, future version of Lois Lane[...]

Well, we know Blue Beetle is coming back in Convergence And, courtesy of Futures End, that Booster Gold will no doubt be involved So why not get the T-shirts to match, courtesy of ThinkGeek? What a lovely story: Booster Gold traveled back in time His main goal was to exploit his knowledge of the future to make[...]

 It's the first appearance of the original Blue Beetle, drawn by Charles Nicholas Wojtkoski, perhaps from a script by Will Eisner, and published by Fox Features Syndicate The character was likely created by Wojtkoski. The character evolved quickly in the early months of Mystery Men Comics  He was originally named Dan Garret, just a man in[...]

They were never as big as Marvel or DC and were notorious for shoddy printing standards. DC acquired the majority of the characters from Charlton in 1983 including most notably Blue Beetle, Captain Atom and The Question These characters were going to be used in Alan Moore's Watchman series but they were saved for other uses[...]

Comics creator Mitch Clem (whose "Nothing Nice to Say" was collected by Dark Horse in 2009) and whose most recent work includes Clem's most recent works include AS YOU WERE, a punk rock anthology released in early 2013, and "My Stupid Life," which has appeared in the pages of RAZORCAKE Magazine since 2007. He recently revealed[...]

I also understand there is a new Keith Giffen project in the works. Aside from the already cancelled Captain Atom, Justice League International, Voodoo and Resurrection Man, the lowest selling titles are Grifter, DC Universe Presents, Blue Beetle and Fury Of Firestorm before you get to the still-surviving-into-2013 Savage Hawkman.  Four titles were chopped last time,[...]

And some wondered if they might be the three newly Liefeldised comic books Hawkman, Deathstroke and Grifter. It's not. Rob Liefeld has just tweeted; Hawkman #0, Deathstroke #0 and Grifter #0 on the way in September! DC ZEROmonth has great revelations for all our titles!#keepmomentumgoin And not only that but; Did I forget to mention I wrote Hawk and Dove #0 as[...]

But it seems that the new Blue Beetle and Lagoon Boy, created by Erik Larsen in Aquaman, will be joining Young Justice in the second season of the TV show. Action Figure Insider caught the spot on the side of the box for new Young Justice toys. Only main characters make the livery, it seems… [...]

It's a rather disturbing feeling for a comic book like this, even as it seems to revamp Dr Manhattan rather than Captain Atom. Blue Beetle #4 does a grand job of taking the teenage experience and ramping it up Here, it's the reaction to the tattoo Except that the tattoo isn't just teenage hijinks, but the[...]

Almost as if they're doing it on purpose. Blue Beetle #3 is really starting to feel more and more like an eighties sci-fi film like The Last Starfighter Combined with an evil Green Lantern Corps and a malfunctioning super suit, I read the comic and get William Daniels in my head as the voice of[...]

Okay, we're back to that again… Blue Beetle #1 by Tony Bedard, Ig Guara and Ruy Jose Okay, this is a weird book to read right after Green Lantern Corps, when I wasn't expected cosmic But it places the Blue Beetle form as a strong alien aggressor which already destroyed a world A bit like in Green[...]

The current Blue Beetle is about to snuff it. It's the calm before the storm in issue #21 Beetle is dead, Max Lord has Checkmate and the hunt for Wonder Woman has begun But Booster Gold has given up after losing another friend to Max Lord, and the JLI is left without a[...]
