"You still read comics at your age?"

[mandolin]

...yes.

Note to self: read scans_daily with care and with the expectation that it will COMPEL YOU TO SPEND MORE MONEY. I have finally given in and started looking for the TPBs of the new Blue Beetle, and it's primarily the fault of this post. (WARNING: Spoilers for BB #16, image-heavy, and do not drink anything while reading if you value your monitor.)

Also, no spoilers, but Amazing Spider-Girl #11 has officially made my brain try to escape out my ear. (WTF, DeFalco? Seriously, WTF?)

Why in the world did I stop reading this comic and yet bought a few issues of Countdown? Why? Why?

Note to self: Stop buying Green Arrow and start buying Blue Beetle.

I'm just boggling over the fact that it took me a YEAR to discover it!

(Of course, that's because I tried and failed to make sense of Infinite Crisis and just threw up my hands early on, but that's another ramble entirely.)

So is GA really going downhill? I stopped buying it right before it jumped to OYL.

I dunno, I love Connor and Mia and Ollie, but I'm just not feeling the love right now. I think I'm weirded out by the Ollie/Dinah thing.

Ollie/Dinah thing? ...no, I don't want to know how the writers are screwing them up.

::sigh:: Oh, you really really don't.

Blue Beetle is like a little piece of comics heaven. There's Dentist!Jaime and his awesome, awesome parents and Brenda and Guy Gardner being both crazy *and* awesome and Life on Mars jokes. It's fabulous.

THAT'S what the "I dreamed I was a cop in 1973" panel was referring to! I laughed, but I couldn't put my finger on why!

(Never seen the show, but one of the RPs I'm in has a Sam Tyler, so I know the basic idea.)

A dentist... *shakes head*

The really amusing part? From what I've read, it's in character.

You just want to pat Jaime on the head, really.

That was actually the best issue of the series so far. :)

Actually, the All-New Atom is REALLY good too. Last issue had a dead Hitler with a jet pack leading an army of damned souls. Can't get much better than that! :D

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! :D


I have no idea who Blue Beetle is, but I find that scan endlessly amusing.

(Possibly b/c I hold a deep-seated belief that dentists are evil. ^_^;)

To quote Meat, "you took the words right out of my mouth"

Evil dentists. :))

Really, it surprises me that one doesn't see them more often. Somewhere between the drills and white coats, they're like mad scientists with power tools.

Sadistic mad scientists with power tools. @_@;

*is now humming "Leader of the Plaque"* XD

The creativity demons, delightful souls that they are, have immediately chimed in, singing backup.

They have replaced the engine revs with the high-pitched whirring of a dental drill.

YOU ARE DANGEROUS.

Don't blame me, blame Steve Martin. :)
