Kolins usually mixes things up between projects, so while his style is distinctive and recognizable, he tries his best to do a different take depending on the title he works on.

I want Jaime to call Ted by his first name...

Let's predict how he'll die senselessly!

Who the fuck did the coloring on this issue. Why did Paco suddenly get red hair there and Brendo turns into a blonde.

>>85188136
That's what I'm referring to.

>>85188225
He's on Batman side, so there's a 99.9% that he'll die

nu52 BB was one of the biggest betrayals I felt as a fan of a series (though far from the only one).

...these pages have made me more optimistic than I've felt about the series in years.

>>85187835
>Only the best stories become canon

Then why isn't Batman Year One canon anymore? Hmm?

>>85188735
Because we got superior Zero Year.

>>85188752
>/co/ only praises Snyder when it's convenient

>>85188798
Nah, I'm just fishing for (You)s. /co/ hates Snyder. Although I think that'll change when All Star is released.

Should I read Griffin's original Blue Beetle run or will this book explain everything and be new reader friendly

I mean I should probably read it anyway because it's one of /co/'s favorite comics but I am lazy faggot with a huge backlog

>>85189116
yeah you'll be fine, seems like they're going more magic than sci-fi so it will be different

>>85189116

Considering Paco is magically back to life, I think it's safe to assume that everything from the New 52 series before this is not canon.

And yes, you should read Jaime's original introduction series because it's fucking great. Giffen didn't write all of it, some of the best comedy comes from John Rogers (who later went on to write /co/'s other favorite comic, IDW's DnD series).

>>85187627
Ewwwwwaaagggh.
Jesus, Jaime, what happened? Make-out session with a big-rig??

Paco and Brenda!

Paco Alive!

Paco and Brenda giving each other shit over shit!

Paco and Brenda knowing about the Scarab!

YES!

>>85188798
Is it possible some writers are good some places and bad others. Bendis for example was good for Alias and such but awful for lots of other thigns. Even the worst creators have done good

>>85189116
>Griffin's original Blue Beetle
Actually he only co-wrote the first handful of issues. The run, and pretty much everything about Jaime, was mainly the work of John Rogers, who has abandoned us for the greener pastures of TV writing.

>>85189116
GIFFEN! GIFFEN! NOT GRIFFIN! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>85189648
>Bendis for example was good for Alias
Don't make me laugh, Alias was a piece of shit.

>All these people happy Paco is alive
I didn't read N52 Beetle, did he die?

He basically became the Venom to Jaime's Spider-Man. It was a decent idea with horrible execution.

>>85189648
>Alias

Enough of this meme.

>>85189116
Read it. I read it for the first time this week and it's phenomenal.

I'm sure it won't have anything to do with this run though, since the scarab is magic now instead of tech.

>>85190931
Man if you need that just use Black or Green from Young Justice. That's dumb.

>>85190986
>I'm sure it won't have anything to do with this run though, since the scarab is magic now instead of tech.
I mean are we sure it's not both? Like maybe the Scarab's been surrounded by magic too long that's it corrupted?

>>85190253
Didn't know that. Now I'm worried we'll end up getting the dialog heavy and dull Giffen that introduces a bunch of plot points only to abandon them if the book gets canceled like what happened with JL3K1

I guess we don't know yet for sure but Fate seems to suggest that it's not alien at all.

Posting both of the relevant DCU Rebirth pages

>>85191026
I don't see why Dr. Fate would be wrong about it, since Nabu is FROM that era of Egypt as I recall.

Weird redesign. Much more insectoid.

>>85191090
Who's to say it's the real Doctor Fate though. Could very well be an illusion made by something else.

>>85191103
Goddamn Ted looks so happy.

>>85191103
Which Dr. Fate is this? It doesn't look like that kid.

>>85191088
Was Ted ever Blue Beetle in this continuity? Has Dan been mentioned at all?

>>85191090
>>85191119
>>85191026
This, mixed with the JSA shenanigans and the fact Fate is from Egypt as well feels like set-up for Dan being important again

>>85191119
Anon pls. He's becoming part of the book's supporting cast. The scarab is officially magic.

>>85191177
Kent Nelson.

>>85191177
Kent was reintroduced in Khalid's ongoing: http://desuarchive.org/co/thread/83382000/

>>85191198
Rebirthed to be established hero. First Ted was teen genius.

>>85191177
Kent Nelson. In his ongoing its confirmed both Khalid and Kent can become Fate.
Kent wore the helmet long enough that he doesn't need to be in contact with the actual helmet to use its powers

>>85191198
Nope, Teds only ever made 1 other appearance at the end of Forever Evil. AS to why him and Jaime are friends? Not explained yet.

Dan is a big nope as well but with all this magic and egypt I expect him to be reintroduced somehow soon

>>85187525
Am I missing something? Did rebirth rewrite the universe again? Last we saw, new 52 Ted Kord was a teenager probably around the same age as Jaime.

>>85191218
>>85191277

It would make sense if Dan were some of the "lost" heroes along with the JSA and whatnot.

>>85191330
He was most definitely not a teenager, more around college age.

>>85191330
>>85191266
Eh, he was about 17/18 and its been what, almost 3 years since then?
21 now, got a haircut and a gym membership, it works

>>85191330
It's just a hard retcon

Having Dan and Ted back as super heroes under different names would be nice.

>>85187627
>that redesign
Ew
I hope its only temporary, way too sharp and pointy. I'm surprised it wasn't the New52 design even. Also the Rebirth issue had his old design as well
>>85191103


>>85191423
I bet at one point Jaime becomes depowered and Ted just so happens to have a costume at the ready for himself.

>>85191367
Has the Johnny Thunder thing from the Rebirth special been followed up on anywhere yet? I need muh JSA.

>>85191519
Not yet, but Johns keep saying how they have plans for the JSA, so keep an eye out.

>>85191519
Not yet, Johns said it's coming though.

>>85191423
What if Dan and Ted get their own scarabs but Ted's is awful and all he gets is a fancy suit that does absolutely nothing?

Now I'm more interested in Rebirth. Ted back, mentoring Jaime? Shit yes. Take my money.

Hopefully Booster and the classic JLI make an appearance as well.

It's not. It's on all of the covers for the series. Also his design in the Rebirth special doesn't mean much when that scene wasn't drawn by this book's artist.

>>85187545

>Paco and Brenda

oh my stars and garters

have they said if Khalid is showing in this? cause i like that kid

>>85187627
I personally love this design. Kolins' style is so perfect for it.

>>85191673
>Khalid and Jaime being legacy buds

That would be pretty cool.

If any DC character needs the Nip treatment it's definitely Jaime.

>>85191663
That's a shame. The grin is what bugs me most.

But Ted and Fate and Giffens mean I'll get over it.

>>85187835

Booster gold when?

Soo Here is the question, which one sounds better ?

Ted and Jaime adventures or Richard Rider and Sam adventures also,

I think it's the angular eyes that bother me. I always liked how human Jaime's face looked despite all the craziness of the suit.

>>85191804
Anon I could kiss you. That's a great idea.

I haven't read new 52 Jaime. If the scarab is magic now, then did the Reach not actually have anything to do with it in the run?

Magic Scarab is a new revelation for Rebirth.
New52 was just a really shitty retread of Jaimes original run

>>85194745
That reminds me, were you the one selling the shirt thats pretty much Teds shirt in Rebirth on Redbubble? I need to get around to buying that

>live in a country were its difficult to come across floppies and want to trade wait
>Blue Beetle is monthly so won't come out till February at the very earliest
>book could already be half dead by then
Fuck

>>85195093
So the 52 Reach still made it then?

Wonder how they'll reconcile that with it being magic now.

>>85195591
Yep, maybe the Reach are magic aliens? Or the scarab is alien magic? Or the Reach are ancient humans from earth who left because magic?

>>85191277
>I expect him to be reintroduced somehow soon

He was personally picked by Morrison to write the back ups in Action Comics, and DC never capitalized on that. Such a shame.

This pleases me, This guy is one of the top colorist working currently and I hope DC signs him exclusive.

>>85209611

I wouldn't say that. Loughridge and Stewart are still the best. Ivan Plascensia is also top quality. But Fajardo is very good, I agree.

>>85198750
Isn't he pre-Flashpoint/New 52 Booster?

That's a myth conflating two completely different practices, that's actually the reason you're supposed to cover your mouth when you yawn.

If you're going to be a pedant, get on my level Brenda.

>>85192943
Sam feels like he'd benefit a lot more from a mentor than Jaime. Jaime and Ted just feels like it's going to be a team-up instead of a mentor dynamic.

>>85210545
He recently sort of got a quick scene of that with The Captain, of all people.
