Things which are awesome (part thirteen) - validation and me

If the new Blue Beetle series was summed up in one word, that word would be, and I think there is no disagreement, 'awesome'.

Which I had the privilege of explaining for Girl-Wonder.Org this month!

If you're not yet reading Blue Beetle, you should reconsider this tragic life decision. If, as I hope of all humans, you *are*, g-w's got other recs that may make your soul similarly smile.

I agree that everyone should buy Blue Beetle. Everyone. ::firm nod::

It is so great! It was going to be officially declared the greatestest, but then they were like, oh no! It transcends greatestestness, we shall have to invent a new word!

Yes! They have had to invent an entire new vocabulary to explain it's greatestestness :)

I keep being sad that this was one of the comics I ended up dropping off my subscription (Along with Deadman and The New Atom. Mostly because A)I am a robot slave of Robert Kirkman (modulo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo) Marvel Zombies - How can the man who writes the best thing ever made with zombies also write the worst?) and B)It tended to build up in backlogs (Like Deadman, but for a different reason (That it tends to appreciate in deliciousness by how many you read in a row.)

Well there are trades? Planned? I think? OTOH, the book's on the cusp of a new storyline, after the recent crossover with Sinistro Corps (this was v. good), so it's a good time to catch up! ;)
