DC Gives The Suicide Squad and Blue Beetle a New Home

In addition to the earlier revealed titles, DC has pulled a fast one and announced two new titles to add to the list:

Blue Beetle #1, written by Tony Bedard and illustrated by Ig Guara and Ruy Jose
Suicide Squad #1, written by Adam Glass and illustrated by Marco Rudy

A lot fans have been pining for the Blue Beetle, including some of Multiversity’s own, but I’m sure most fans are sad to see the Suicide Squad replacing the Secret Six. I think it’s also safe to say that, with 4 books left, the last titles will all be Superman related (Superman, Action Comics, Supergirl, Superboy).

Here are some blurbs for you about the respective titles pictured above:

It’s not easy being Jaime Reyes. He has to deal with high school, family and all the drama that comes with being a teenager. Also, he’s linked to a powerful scarab created by an alien race who seek to subjugate planets — or annihilate them. It’s up to one teen hero to turn this instrument of destruction into a force for good in BLUE BEETLE #1, written by Tony Bedard (GREEN LANTERN CORPS) and illustrated by Ig Guara (FLASHPOINT: GRODD OF WAR) and Ruy Jose.
Harley Quinn! Deadshot! King Shark! They’re a team of death-row super villains recruited by the government to take on missions so dangerous — they’re sheer suicide! Who will be the first to crack under the pressure? Find out in SUICIDE SQUAD #1, written by Adam Glass (FLASHPOINT: LEGION OF DOOM) with art by Marco Rudy (THE SHIELD).

Look forward to tomorrow’s MC coverage of DCnU, where we’ll give you the last titles as well as a full list of all the books you can expect.
