Title: Crush Fandom: DC Comics (Ted, Sparky, Booster) Rating: PG Summary: The Blue Beetle's sidekick inspires Ted, in more ways than one. Notes: After I discovered the existence of Dan Garrett's sidekick , eliyes requested "fic of little wee Ted crushing on Sparky." This was the result. In the sea of clippings Ted has amassed over the years featuring the Blue Beetle, there's only a handful of pictures...

As erudite panel-ologists, we are concerned with loftier ideals in the appreciation of the finer aspects of the artform. These two issues, however, fall at the lower end of the spectrum, but are fun none-the-less. Who cares about Marvel and DC when you could be reading Charlton and Gold Key! Dr. Solar 12 Blue Beetle 3

Blue BeetleA couple of weeks ago I talked to Jai Nitz about his Spanish issue of Blue Beetle. Now the nice folks at DC have been cool enough to let me announce right here, for the very first time, the new, regular writer of Blue Beetle: Matt Sturges. Matt kindly took the time to talk [...]

Image via Wikipedia Lisa Fortuna mentions there’s no Wonder Woman cartoon, and it occurred to me, that I wasn’t immediately keen to see a Wonder Woman cartoon produced. Which, given my loyalty to ElectraWoman and DynaGirl, wasn’t entirely something that made sense to me. I thought about it for a bit, and what struck me wasn’t that [...]

*Where Did The White Boxes Go?* Look back in time with me though it really isn't all that far back. Every comic book store you went into seemed to have the same layout - new and latest issues all along the walls with white long boxes arranged in the middle. It would blow a person's mind to see the...

Just picked up the Blue Beetle 'Reach for the Stars' TPB the other day, and one page in particular made me laugh really loudly. Well, only one page made me laugh because of the art; Blue Beetle still manages to give me faith in the human race/DC. Hope neither of these have already been posted. They probably already have and I just didn't realize it, but oh well. From Blue Beetle #15... What's with...

Jeffery Simpson : Water Spring Beatle Originally uploaded by masine . Link from Beyond Robson [ br ]. I feel giddy this morning thanks to an article/post from Only magazine [ om ] taking issue with the tourist attraction that is the blue Beetle that is covered in crap. The first time I saw it it was kind of amusing in the way a YouTube video of a dog skateboarding is amusing, but once I realized that...

Can we talk about Captain Atom today? I'm no longtime Captain Atom fan. I mean, really; are there any? Captain Atom, like the most of his Charlton Comics brethren, is a one of the DCU's red-headed stepchildren. For writers as well as readers, it's been hard to figure out what he's like, let alone where belongs in the DCU. If you want a sense of how far DC was from knowing who these characters were...

I've also finally caught myself up on Checkmate! Yay! I think my favorite part was Sasha's attempt to deputize Superman. Or rather, how she knew when NOT to pursue a given tactic. I used to be really iffy on Sasha. I liked her in Murderer/Fugitive, disliked her in the OMAC Project (to be fair, most of that is probably because I really liked the earlier OMAC issues which focused on the aftermath of...
