The last few days I had some problems with the stomach and if that was not enough I have been feeling a bit under the weather ( which is very cold in Germany ) so I couldn´t make the promised FLASH FRIDAY post although I had already prepared all the necessary material. It´s true, I have done a few posts after they were scheduled to appear but since it was already Sunday when I finished my last post´s link section I decided it was too late and opted to go for another series I have neglected far too long.

Yes, if you check the blog archive you will see that I posted issue 2 way back on September the 21st so you might want to re - read that post. In this issue we have Batman teaming up with Blue Beetle and it´s one of the most entertaining issues. When Jamie Reyes was first introduced I was not happy - which had a lot to do with how the DC guys got rid of the previous Blue Beetle. But after a few issues the character won me over and they really paid tribute to the legacy of Ted Kord in the book. It turned into a really great read and if you want to know more check out the post I did on the series. This version has my highest recommendation. I don´t know how things are with the NEW 52 version of Blue Beetle but it´s not like that version really counts in the big scheme of thing. And after the whole DC REBIRTH initiative it probably won´t matter anyway.
I don´t want to come off like I think I know everything but I didn´t like the whole NEW 52 from the beginning since I never understood why DC deemed it necessary and now that it´s hopefully over it seems like it was their version of New Coke. I mean, just the other day I was reading my brother´s newest issues of JUSTICE LEAGUE and they were full of quotes about how great the DC REBIRTH titles are and all the great ideas they have about bringing Green Arrow back to his roots as a urban vigilante with a social consciousness and Dick Grayson as Nightwing and so on.

Pardon me, but is that not how they are SUPPOSED to be written ? But like with New Coke DC has been feeding the fans just cheap crap and now that they are back to the original concepts because they finally realized they had to do something if they didn´t want to devaluate the stable of intellectual property forever critics are raving as if those are novel ideas.

Back to the issue of THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD at hand, for me as a Legion of Super - Heroes fan it is a special delight that the main villains in this issue are The Fatal Five. Although things really kick into high gear with more Legionaries than you can throw a stick at - okay, not that many since that happened in INFINITE CRISIS : LEGION OF THREE WORLDS ( which I posted here : issue 1 / issue 2 / issue 3 / issue 4 / issue 5 ) - but you get the idea of what takes place in issue 5. In any case, back to our story :
