The Stop Button

This DC relaunch has worn me down to the point I don’t like making fun of bad comics anymore.

I can’t even get interested in mocking Bedard’s lousy dialogue. He’s so painfully trying to invite teenagers to read the book, I’m shocked there aren’t stories about him passing the books out at high schools. But let’s not forget Bedard’s look at being a teenager is a lot like “Beverly Hills 90210” with Hispanic kids. Actually, thinking about it, I think “90210” might be his inspiration.

He probably should aim a little higher when it comes to inspiration.

But, like I was saying, Blue Beetle is so crappy, so obviously crappy and commercial, I can’t believe anyone thinks it’ll be a good. It’s a property with crossover potential or something. Not a comic book, for goodness sake.

Those comments made, I wish Guara would stop ripping off the Venom costume mechanics….
