Blue Beetle: A Short History
Like most characters who have been around for a while, there have been several versions of the character, and even three different companies publishing their adventures.

I am going to talk about an amazing comic book which is one of the darkest comic books I’ve read: Tom Taylor’s DCeased.
The always impressive Olivia Coleman joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portraying a British Intelligence agent named Sonya Falsworth. While this character is an original, the Falsworth name has a history in Marvel Comics.
As part of the “Dawn of DC” in the wake of the major Dark Crisis event, Shazam! has his own book again and it’s very true to the original stories.
Usually, when I review a comic book issue, it’s because it was particularly good. Sometimes, there are exceptions. This is one of those times, but it comes with a story.
There’s no set rule on what kind of story an Annual is going to tell, and this year they went with three different stories.
There are a lot of different expectations for the Black Adam movie, which comes out in the United States on October 21, 2022. One of the things that has comic book geeks like me excited is that it’s the first time the Justice Society of America will be in live action in theatrical release. With this exposing the JSA to a much larger audience than they’ve potentially ever had, it seems like a good time to go over the history of the team.
Like any character that’s been around awhile, Black Adam has a complicated history. He’s been around longer than most, and that applies both within the DC Universe and in the real world.
This year’s Flash Annual focuses on Linda Park-West’s novel, which we’ve been hearing about, and Wally finally making time to read it.
The Wild Cards series is one of my favorites. It’s an interesting take on superhumans, and, as long as it’s been running now, there’s been a lot of world building.
