Meow!<BR/><BR/>And yet, I still can't get into Beetle. I can't seem to shake the feeling he'd be much more interesting on a team than as a solo player. Strangely, I don't feel that way about the newest Firestorm, though the tone of the books are similar.<BR/><BR/>Still, nice sculpt on Beetle's clix!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1167882629206739942007-01-03T22:50:00.000-05:002007-01-03T22:50:00.000-05:00It looks to me like this Dr Fate will have magical...It looks to me like this Dr Fate will have magical powers (note the aforementioned ankh-bling).
