My favourite incarnation, from before the New 52 relaunch. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, from the bwah-ha-ha-ha era of the Justice League, uncovered after being trapped in a cryonic chamber for a thousand years… What an excellent 2015 to look forward to! Justice League 3000 is a book by Keith Giffen, J.M DeMatteis and Howard Porter, featuring the[...]

 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.

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.

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[...]
