I actually started reading the new Blue Beetle to see just how angry it was going to make me. I'd been a huge fan of Ted Kord (the previous Blue Beetle), and he had one of the most ridiculously infuriating deaths I know of in comics. So I expected to find his replacement really annoying and a huge disappointment.
So I picked up the first issue.
And it turned out to be good. Actually, it turned out to be amazing. Griffen and Rogers obviously got it. What made Ted awesome as the Beetle. And what makes comic books awesome to read. Not to diss Peter Parker (much), but Blue Beetle was a the book Spiderman would have been if Peter didn't live in a world that was constantly out to kick him in the balls.
So I kept up with the book, enjoying it tremendously. And then I got to issue 16... And that was it. It's still one of the single most enjoyable issues of any comic I've ever read. (In fact, I had to take a little break in the middle of this comment to read it again.)
Everyone should read it as it requires next to no context and is HILARIOUS.
