It's gotten tons better. By issue #73, it got awesome. Ironically, that issue involved another character death, but it was a death of a HERO not some prissy wimp.<br /><br />Honestly, is being a Titan a death sentence or something?AnotherForlonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578354538270636153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-86687678996468404542009-05-05T16:22:00.000-05:002009-05-05T16:22:00.000-05:00it'd be pretty easy for that green guy to start ch...it'd be pretty easy for that green guy to start choking plastic man in last last picture . .<br /> UJohnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-38183688647492970102008-09-19T12:15:00.000-05:002008-09-19T12:15:00.000-05:00I felt he did an okay Blue Beetle and Miss Martian...I felt he did an okay Blue Beetle and Miss Martian, melashaan, it's just compared to how they were written previously it's just a noticable drop in quality (though Miss Martian's mental puppy attack is still awesome).<BR/><BR/>Well, GQ, the Wonder Twins are different from Marvin and Wendy. The Wonder Twins were aliens who could transform their bodies into a myriad of shapes and sizes by putting their hands together and shouting, "Wonder Twin powers activate!" Wendy and Marvin never had any actual powers. They were kind of like the Scooby Doo gang hanging out with actual superheroes.Lewis Lovhaughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724769374732321363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-40631009156478361802008-09-19T04:31:00.000-05:002008-09-19T04:31:00.000-05:00Yeah, I read this too.

If those twins had been wearing costumes, you can be damn sure some mcguffin would have come into play to save them. <BR/><BR/>Needlessly graphic and brutal.<BR/><BR/>Side note - I thought the "real" Wonder Twins were already introduced back in Extreme Justice? Any connection? Is EJ still in continuity or are people just choosing to ignore it cos of all the awful?<BR/><BR/><BR/>~GQAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-80526289450261197902008-08-29T09:39:00.000-05:002008-08-29T09:39:00.000-05:00I'm so glad you were as disgusted by this issue as...I'm so glad you were as disgusted by this issue as I was (more <A HREF="http://melashaan.livejournal.com/302582.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>, although I'll warn you - I swear when I'm mad). I had dropped McKeever's run a while back when it became clear that he could somehow make Blue Beetle a miserable character, let alone formerly perky Miss Martian. But taking what sounded like a vintage style "day in the life" story judging by the summary and turning it into a gross mess is just the last straw. And that's not getting into the dog lover part of my brain; that's just the comic dork part.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you that he seems to be trying to prove something, but if anything, it's proving his charming Mary Jane stories were an odd fluke. And that's not a good thing to prove.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
