Those who have seen the new DC solicitations for March can be in no doubt. Yet another minority character getting bumped off. Outrage outrage outrage. And what's even worse is that it's a spoiler. The current Blue Beetle is about to snuff it.

Will It Be A Blue Beetle Bait And Switch?

It's the calm before the storm in issue #21. Beetle is dead, Max Lord has Checkmate and the hunt for Wonder Woman has begun. But Booster Gold has given up after losing another friend to Max Lord, and the JLI is left without a leader!

As if. This is a bait and switch, so that DC can, at some point, go "see! see! He isn't dead! And you all thought he was. We're nice to our minority characters… now. How could you think anything but?"

With a Blue Beetle comic series and a possible TV series in the offing, this was never going to happen. And you went and fell for it… well some of you, anyway.
