RUN 24 issues 1986-88
KEY CREATORS: Len Wein
(writer)
Paris Cullins (artist)
OUTLINE: Wealthy Ted Kord fights
crime in Hub City after a few years' absence
STANDOUT ISSUES:None
really spring to mind
DUD ISSUES: The team-up with the
Titans against the Hybrid
OVERALL: While the series is
harmless
enough, and while it's interesting to see the Blue Beetle before he got
turned into an idiot in Justice League, it doesn't really grab you beyond
the mystery of what really happened to Ted's predecessor Dan Garrett, as
finally revealed in the final storyline (by which point I'd bailed).
Nothing really bad about the series, but nothing to recommend it
either.
RECOMMENDED OR NOT? No, though
you could do worse
CONTINUITY NOTES: Dr. Alchemy's
tendency to get out of deaths like the one seen here is finally explained
in Messner-Loebs' stint on Flash
