Booster Gold #25 (Beetle portion)

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

So unlike Rulk whose identity no one cares about at this point Black Beetle has been quite interesting since unlike other villains he's smart enough to lie so we can't tell who he really is. His claim of the month though is...



Jaime of course doesn't believe him considering he said he was Hector a few minutes ago.

But Black Beetle is insistent.



The injury was a reference from earlier when Black Beetle hurt Milagro and is usuing it as an example of why he purportedly went from Jaime to evil.

Jaime having beaten and more or less trapped his foe (in a field of tachyons stopping him from time traveling, which was Paco's idea decides it'd be best to leave and make sure Milagro's alright since no matter what he does Black Beetle will make it sound like he's guiding Jaime to evil anyway.

But before leaving Black Beetle has a few interesting words for Jaime.



Possibly a mention for Ted getting resurrected but more likely just a reference to the Blackest Night tie in that starts next issue.

And one final page (which in total should be about 3 1/3 pages of the 10) ... Milagro and dolls.



Hehehe. :D

Second last panel - If I didn't already love Milagro to pieces.. I sure as heck would now!

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

She needs to be the Blue Lantern of Earth because she gives Boostle fans hope!

[eligibility.insanejournal.com]

I am so in love with those last panels.

[thokstar.insanejournal.com]

At this point, I think I'm happy just assuming that Black Beetle is Lie McLiarson.

(Also, my avatar is stealable, in case somebody wants it.)

[ravenous_raven.insanejournal.com]

thankee very kindly ;)

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

Hahaha, I love the last two panels. Awesome.


(Also I'm still holding out for evil!Rip.)

[thanekos.insanejournal.com]

Black Beetle's still a dentist.

Just in the Christian Szell mold.

[darkblade.insanejournal.com]

Poor little girl doesn't know how many people agree with her toys there.

[mugiwara.insanejournal.com]

Looks like Blue Beetle is doing very well in this comics. DC should keep him here and put him out of Teen Titans before he gets ruined or killed.

[sailorlibra.insanejournal.com]

It is so official: Milagro is one of the awesomest persons in the DCU. I mean, I'm talking Big Barda level here. Not just anybody can reach that level.

[leikomgwtfbbq.insanejournal.com]

Now I want to see Milagro hanging out with Barda playing with action figures. X3

[queenanthai.insanejournal.com]

So, this ENTIRE COMMUNITY is going to adopt Milagro, yes?

[silver_paired.insanejournal.com]

Pretty much, yep.

[drakyndra.insanejournal.com]

Oh Milagro, you so made of win. (And I'm pretty certain that's a shout out to the Boostle fans from Sturges, too.)

Also I like how Jaime totally called out Black Beetle pulling a Palpatine on him.

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

Not to mention a shout out to Ted/Babs fans, since she settled for Booster.

[siamesa.insanejournal.com]

Okay, seriously... I need to be doing science homework. Not laughing my head off in joy.

She likes Guy Gardner, she ships Boostle... I'm half convinced now that Milagro's actually a member of this comm.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

E-Prime Milagro probably made the comm.

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

Milagro is the greatest thing to happen to the JLI.

[espanolbot.insanejournal.com]

Hm, I wonder if it was a CassBatgirl or BarbaraBatgirl toy she after?

[tanetris.insanejournal.com]

To go with Ted, gotta be Babs.

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

I still think Black Beetle is Ted.

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

It really wouldn't surprise me, as much as I want it to be Rip.

MILAGRO, YOU WERE ALWAYS MY FAVOURITE

Hi, Babs Grayson here,

Did everyone else miss the fact she wanted a Batgirl doll and when she couldn't get one she made Booster Gold marry Ted Kord/Blue Beetle?!!!?

In other words, she wants Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) to marry Ted Kord/Blue Beetle!!! That girl is the most meta-shipper I've ever seen.

I don't know anything more about Ted Kord than his single episode of "The Brave & the Bold" cartoon where he does have Batman's respect BTW. But I'm intrigued by the idea of someone else crushing on Babs since every gal in the DCU is hot for Dick.

Oh and if Black Beetle is Ted Kord and doesn't come to see Babs I'll be disappointed.

[mullon.insanejournal.com]

I feel like Black Beetle makes the stories too easy. Before it was about Booster Gold fixing time problems, but now it's ust about going after Black Beetle all the time. Or I could just be full of crap.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Well it's pretty much because both features are building up to something big with Black Beetle. Him amassing power, enlisting evil scientists etc...

[fleur_de_liz.insanejournal.com]

I was at work when I read this and nearly woke my classroom of babies up with my squeals of epic glee. IT'S AS CLOSE TO CANON MAKEOUTS AS WE'RE GOING TO GET.

Also, it was nice to see the return of Paco's beating stick. The stick is one of my favorite characters. :D

[glimmung.insanejournal.com]

Beating Stick is actually first cousins with Chair Leg of Truth.

[jaclynhyde.insanejournal.com]

Y'know, the blood on Black Beetle's face looks an awful lot like a nosebleed. Hmmmm, what bad guy do we know that gets nosebleeds, has something against Ted, and knows very well that Ted's dead?

And hell, I'm still in denial that he's evil in the first place, so why not add being the Black Beetle to that?

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

Do not know if want, as the lolcats say.

[(Anonymous)]

Does anyone else think that Ted is coming after the Blackest Night tie in?

[zordboy.insanejournal.com]

That second final panel *had* to have been written with the fans in mind. There's no way that's an accident. No friggin' way.

[jlbarnett.insanejournal.com]

I think that Black Beetle might actually be that uncle of Ted's. The one in B+B actually had a DCU counterpart, right?

Also, I'd just like to point this out: Milagro was planning to marry her Ted figure to the toy she got. She wanted a Batgirl figure originally. How did she know?!

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Her superpower is being awesome of course.

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

CANON BOOSTLE! ...what?

[superfan1.insanejournal.com]

Squee it almost canon with the shipness of Boostle love!

[jasper_stars.insanejournal.com]

Milagro needs to be awarded the "Best Person to Ever Live" award.

My roommate is also wondering what I am doing over here in the corner giggling to myself...

[timemonkey.insanejournal.com]

She should have an Awsome Off with Lian Harper.

[magus_69.insanejournal.com]

Well played, Mr. Sturges. So, so very well played.
