Why is there no Blue Beetle in the reboot-JLI? Almost everyone else is there, just no Beetle. I know, Jaime's getting his own series again, and good on him. I'll admit I haven't read his old series, but I've seen enough appearances by the kid to like him, so him getting more attention is not a bad thing.
Also, is Ted Kord still dead in the reboot? Does Infinite Crisis still count as canon in the reboot? We can have two Blue Beetles, since Ted never seriously used the scarab. If he is still dead, then what of Booster? One of the best things about him was his friendship with Ted, and vice versa. I like those two together, and I feel like someone's kicking my heart every time it gets mentioned Ted's dead. On that note, Justice League: Generation Lost: ( Read more... )
And why no Booster-series? I'm a bit more miffed about this. Most of the stuff I've read so far is Booster, either solo or his appearing in other series, and I would call myself a fan of his. So why no solo-series? Are we going to lose the character-development he's had since his first appearance? That would be a crime.
On the whole, I am not sure what to think about the reboot. Easy for me to say, I know. I've not been in this hobby for all that long, and what I am reading or have read (JLI, Booster Gold, Birds of Prey, Infinite Crisis) is a couple of years old at the very least. Ah well, at least I'll still be able to buy the older stuff, so if the reboot doesn't pan out, I'll still be happy.
If the reboot doesn't pan out, then how is DC going to go back to the 'old' ways? Retcon and pretend the reboot never happened?
