Darkseid's Couch

S4:E8 - Blue Beetle No. 1 (1969)


Listen Later

This time on the Couch: What is the shocking secret of Ted Kord, the second man to bear the mantle of the Blue Beetle? If you're reading 1967's Blue Beetle no. 1 don't expect to find out, because that shit isn't getting explained til later. Instead, Mike and James find our hero battling a bunch of dorks called the Squids using nothing but his robot ship and a lot of mean-spirited puns. Plus, in a backup tale, the Question makes his debut to teach kids about the practical benefits of Libertarianism, personal responsibility, and snitching on your co-workers. To review, five years after creating Spider-Man Steve Ditko was preaching to his audience like a freshmen philosophy major who just finished The Fountainhead. Note to self: Never work in the comic book industry. Also, male scissoring and the scourge of guys named Todd. If you need more entertainment you can make it yourself and stop suckling on the content creator's teet, comrad.
