In this comic: Blue Beetle - Unzipped!

That should draw in a few readers, yes?

[thebigapricot]

I guess Ted is not coming back :( But than again, Jaime!

[shadowpsykie]

is Jaime legal? cauze otherwise him unzipping might be an issue ... an Issue i WILL buy :)

[falseaesop]

Depends on how the legal systems views being displaced in the time stream for one year after the events of Infinite Crisis... going by his birth year he should be a senior (which Paco and Brenda are) but Jamie went missing for a year and had to make up. Legally most things would probably go by his birth year... but chronologically and morally?

[jelly_ace]

Yay, Jaime! And I just hope that this doesn't mean Ted wouldn't be back; one can hope, I think.

And is it just me, or is the solicitation sounding kinda ominous? And not in a it's-gonna-be-full-of-hijinks-and-therefore-using-the-word-ominous-as-a-joke, as in emo-ominous?

[goblinthebamf]

kinda conflicted about these solicits. :-/

not to say that I'm not going to spend far too much on comics in May or that I'm not excited, just that I'm not as enthusiastic as I was before.

[naebler]

Hmm Guy Gardner is missing from the lineup.

[sarno001]

Guy might be busy with the Emerald Warriors at this point. He, unlike Batman, finds it difficult to be in like eighty places at once.

[naebler]

But... He has a Magic ring that can do anything. Why can't there be an Emerald Hard Light Projection?

[r0b666]

Maybe Gardner can take lessons from Spider-Man, Deadpool, Wolverine, Luke Cage, the Thing...

[bluejaybirdie]

You know, for a so-called "Brightest Day", most of those solicits are pretty dark and violent.

However, could the Star City miracle be that Lian's alive? That would make up fot the grimdark going on here (well, mostly).

[robogeek]

If so, I suspect that this bit in JLA will counterbalance that:

"Witness the transformation of the moon and a journey into the Shadow Lands that will corrupt a hero!"

Bets on Robinson "corrupting" Obsidian again? After all, darkness powers are Eevul....

Honestly, Brightest Day is looking less and less bright....

[terrykun]

Bets on Robinson "corrupting" Obsidian again? After all, darkness powers are Eevul....

And his and Jenny's mommy was (sometimes) a villain! If you come from evil, you'll ALWAYS be evil!

[bruinsfan]

At least if Robinson is writing it the "Shadow Lands" spoken of are probably the negative energy dimension Obsidian and The Shade draw their powers from, rather than a gay club's leather-wrapped fetish dungeon that a right wing mouthpiece character might warn him about the moral dangers of. (Which would be my fear under Willingham...)

[lamashtar]

'Shadowlands' is also gonna be Lord Daredevil's prison for Hammer guards.

[theanswer]

That solicit also suggests Ollie may not be the Green Arrow anymore after this is over. Conner back as the GA?

[kingrockwell]

That's just vague solicit talk. From the earlier interview about that one and the cover, it's clearly Ollie.

[goblinthebamf]

However, could the Star City miracle be that Lian's alive? That would make up fot the grimdark going on here (well, mostly).

the cover kinda looks like Star City has become forested, bet that's it. wish it were Lian.

[mullon]

Sexy.

[icon_uk]

That image sort of hits Jaime's problem right on the nose, doesn't it.

Umm... what problem, and what about the image suggests it... whatever it is?

[thokstar]

I'm being a bit meta. There's a class of fans (generally not SD residents) who have and still are using Ted as an excuse not to even read Jaime, and this cover reflects that dilemma.

[lamashtar]

From that cover and your comment, one might assume Jaime doesn't S3XX0R it up enough!

[morgana006]

You've got some really pretty eyelashes there, Ted.

Jaime, your eyes are just kinda creepy.

Otherwise, nice cover.

[fleur_de_liz]

Nnnnn I'm so excited for this.

Putting Jaime on the JLI is the best thing ever. Get him off Team Cannon Fodder the Teen Titans and put him at the Cool Kids Table.

I want Ted to come back and they both end up on the team so they can have Beetletastic Shenanigans. I also want an Oompa Loompa and a goose that lays golden eggs, Daddy.

[jlbarnett]

who's side is he really on? For Jaime? Seriously?

Okay, the only way he's not on their side is it's not really him.

[kingrockwell]

It really depends on what separates these two sides. You never know, he might just turn coat when they hold that volleyball tournament against the Teen Titans!

[fleur_de_liz]

Or, y'know, if they trot out the "controlled by the Scarab" plot yet again.

Which would be lame considering we just did that.

[jlbarnett]

kind of my point. THey just took care of that.

[pepperspray101]

Wait...Judd Winick's writing this too? O.O

I love judd winick when he writes Jason Todd...not so sure how he'll write Jaime...
