Blue and Gold

Well now they've done it, haven't they? In this months Booster Gold (#6), DC has brought back one of their most beloved heroes. Course he wasn't so beloved till he got shot in the head, but isn't that how it always works? I take that back. Blue Beetle has long been a fan favorite, especially since his days with Giffen and DeMatteis's Justice League International.

But the intervening years saw little Beetle love. Mostly he was a cautionary tale for young super-heroes and those looking to dip into the world of costumed adventuring. "Watch out kids, or you too could be like Blue Beetle, wearing a girdle to World War III."

But Countdown to Infinite Crisis changed all of that. Many saw for the first time (myself included) just how cool this character could be. He wasn't just "Batman Lite" anymore. He was a hero in his own right.

And now we get to see that all again. Since Ted Kord can't go back to his own time though (he is supposed to be dead), he'll be joining Booster in his quest to set time right. It looks like it's going to be quite a ride from here on out.

Oh, and now that t-shirt IS right, Max Lord WAS framed!
