I'll probably have DA 2 before I even see that magazine again!<br /><br />Well I'm def not an expert on Ted, Nagash, but from the few things I have read with him in it(Birds of Prey, Robin, Formerly Known as the JL, a few old JL's), he was pretty damn funny. Legit funny, not shoved down your throat, fake funny like a certain other Beetle...<br /><br />See, I'd buy that book. Even if Jesse isn't in it(I've also heard she was gonna join the JLA), I'd buy it just for Wally. I'm still not sold on his daughter being Impulse(Bart will forever be Impulse to me), but I'd even give that a shot.

As such, things tend to disappear in that area, like that issue of Game Informer apparently did!<br /><br />Hell, I'd go even farther and say that the past 10-20 years worth of FLASH comics don't mean much thanks to the current Flash series!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-56025777980875140192010-08-01T00:52:58.066-04:002010-08-01T00:52:58.066-04:00Lol, that's pretty wild, but you'll be the...Lol, that's pretty wild, but you'll be the same way when Dragon Age II comes out, speaking of which, ever read that article?<br /><br />That's the last time I remember seeing him too.

I wonder what the over/under is on how long that game manages to last...<br /><br />Jeez, all this talk about Trickster and Piper is making me want to read Countdown again... Wait, on second thought, no it's not! :P<br /><br />For me it's the personality issue that bothers me the most. If you wanted a guy around who had the same personality as Ted Kord, then WHY KILL TED KORD?! It just boggles the mind!

Oh and those two in a diner haha.<br /><br />Lol @ Neon-Green Beetle. I feel the same way, he's exactly what Ted was but younger and hispanic, and doesn't have any of the same ties. No relationship with Babs like Ted, no relationship with Booster, and Ted didn't even USE the scarab so he could exist and Jamie could even keep the name.

BWA-HAHAHAH!!! Good luck with that guys!<br /><br />Whenever i think of Countdown I always try to think about the Trickster/Piper stuff... Trickster with those finger puppets still makes me laugh! And I for one wouldn't mind pretending that Countdown never happened!<br /><br />Eh, I just don't like the fact that Hai-Me is basically a rip-off of Ted personality-wise. It's like, why kill off Ted and then replace him with a younger version of himself? So until Ted Kord is back, I don't care if they call Hai-Me the Neon-Green Beetle, I'll always resent him. That's my take on him.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-35538489034233448432010-07-27T15:50:39.257-04:002010-07-27T15:50:39.257-04:00Couldn't we just do a 'ignore countdown...Couldn't we just do a 'ignore countdown' thing, so it never happened ;)<br /><br />Would you prefer Hai-Me if he were Black Beetle, or something else guys?Nagashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317832910354675201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-84339028168031553952010-07-27T02:12:47.587-04:002010-07-27T02:12:47.587-04:00Sweet, lemme know what ya think.

So basically you want DC to undo most of what they did during Blackest Night, since Boomer, Tempest and Damage(I think that's who you mean, since I think Atom Smasher is still alive, unless you know something I don't :P)were offed in BN. I hear that. You're not the only one who seems to think that about Trickster/Countdown...

I read today that Geoff is writing an episode of Smallville that will have Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. That blew my mind cause you know I'm a big Booster fan.

How that dude can think Return of Bruce Wayne is great is outrageous. And I hardly follow Marvel but the last 8 issues of ASM and after reading Shadowland, that dude is INSANE. There's no way ANYTHING Grant's written in the last 3 years is close to touching that ONE issue of Shadowland...<br /><br />I'd doubt she's dead, if she was dead they'd have shown her definitely dead, not just sprawled out.

As for the forums, that's probably just those mindless DC fanboys... You know the type. The ones who don't think DC can do any wrong, and that EVERYTHING they put out is good. Ugh, I HATE people like that! Be it hardcore DC fanboys, or hardcore Marvel fanboys... There's this older guy who I've seen in the comic book shop twice now who always seems to be going on and on about how awesome Grant Morrison is, and how Return of Bruce Wayne is like the best thing he's EVER read... I mean he's literally like, "Everything Marvel is putting out pales in comparison to Return!!!" Really!? Everything?!? Ugh... One day that guy's gonna be in there and I'm going to be in the wrong mood... Wow, I really went off on a tear there, didn't I? Sorry about that JT!<br /><br />I DON'T think Miss Martian is dead(I remember even as I typed up this review I refused to type in that Manhunter found her dead body), but with DC's recent, "Everything old is NEW again!!!" kick, I can't say I'd be shocked if she did indeed die. But I wouldn't be surprised to see her survive either.
