Hey Ami, i was reading about this new series called "Vix" from Image, and thought i should share this paragraph:
“She’s somewhat puzzled by the mystery, but not really bothered by it,” Hoseley said of Vix, a teenage girl who finds herself with unusual super-human abilities that she doesn’t understand, both in regards to what she can do with them as well as where they came from. “She sees them as a great thing. The particulars don’t worry or concern her much and she’d be perfectly happy not knowing the whys and wherefores, being content to help people without them knowing she even exists.”
That sounds like an Amiverse hero to me! The rest of the story is here:

Maybe I got DC0 for free. The store might have given that away free and charged me 3.50. I don't look at the price for comics much- I just impulse buy. (The only time I do that, I'm usually a Clark Howard-esque tightwad otherwise)

They probably need to make their money on BB anyways, so I don't mind. The buying figures scare me. Why is it most of the comics I read can't even sell 20,000? Honestly, I don't think it was very good- the criticisms about needed more Traci and less parasite seem pretty spot-on to me.

Having now read that Teen Titans issue I can see why you are upset.

I think Lurker meant anglo as in "anglophone". :)

As far as I know, Traci 13 is half asian, half white (white father/Asian mother, which often seems like DC's favourite mixed parentage for teen heroes). xD

2008-05-02T04:06:00.000-04:00

I agree with the points about the BB translation. It was a good "fill-in" issue, though. It still felt like the same book, which is very good. Is Traci Anglo? I don't know what i thought her genetic provenance was, but i didn't think it was angloid.

Lurker: AGREED. Esp after the end of the last arc,...

2008-05-02T03:47:00.000-04:00

Lurker: AGREED. Esp after the end of the last arc, a denouement would have been nice. :)

Arstal: The cover price of BB#26 is 3.50 I'm not sure what you meant? :\ Like were you saying that the cover was 2.99 and the store charged extra cuz that wasn't the case, or are you saying that having it be 3.50 is DC ripping us off, cuz it so is >:\

Also what I was saying was that they should have it written IN Spanish and then include the English translation, rather than having it written IN English and translated INTO Spanish, and then including the English as a "bonus".

Saranga: *hugs back* ty :)

Toriach: ty for the birthday wishes :) and I agree... the rest of the book was rly good... I'm trying rly hard to not think of the first couple pages tho... I've read the book 3 times and thru each reading my brain seems to block out the first couple pages and so I'm shocked and horrified each time again, like I forgot all about it... it's why I'm having trouble reviewing it :(

It was RLY UNNECESSARY as you said in your post, which was rly good. :) There are so many other ways without throwing that in there like that :(

*sighs* I hate even thinking about it.. just... esp since I associate with her so much.. and.. :(

Hey Ami,First of all a very happy birthday to you....

Hey Ami,

First of all a very happy birthday to you.

Second of all with the exception of Batman I agreed with your assessments.

Thirdly I'm sorry. Given your earlier posts I have a hunch as to what you've gone through recently. I'm sorry that anyone would have to go through that. I'm doubly sorry that it was you.

Honestly I was deeply displeased with the opening scene in Teen Titans. It was only as I was writing the post about it that I realized how angry it made me. I hope you don't mind I've included the url for the post for you and your readers to look at.(http://1afinerworld.blogspot.com/2008/04/was-this-really-neccesary-green-lantern.html) The rest of the issue was quite good, but it's like dipping prime rib in shit. It leaves a really bad taste.

To end on a more upbeat note, again happy birthday. I hope it's a great day filled with wonderful things for you.

Take care of yourself.

Toriach

You had to pay for the English, you got ripped I think.

They kinda had to do it , since who would buy a comic that's not in the native language, and it's not like Blue Beetle is the top selling DC comic (though it would be a great world if it was)

The Spanish "gimmick" worked ok for me. Though charging extra for it was annoying. It was the pointless super-villain fight. I just wanted a whole issue of Jamie and Traci reacting to his family and them dealing with his dating an Anglo as well...
