DC #1s for the SUPER-family, SUICIDE SQUAD, and BLUE BEETLE.

By Sebastian 13 years ago

DC has announced some more #1s (are there any more?

Well, Tony Bedard is writing the new BLUE BEETLE ongoing…and it’s Jaime Reyes as Beetle. Now, when I expressed my mixed feelings on facebook, Tony graciously thanked me for my compliments to him, and simply asked that I “…give Jaime a chance.”

So, we’ll see. But I still miss you, Ted!
