>>77052095To be fair, for a DECADE fans wanted a Booster/Ted book. Ever since JLI was cancelled for the Morrison JLA, there was a huge outcry from JLI fans to get Ted and Booster back in their own buddy comedy book.
DC fucking refused countless times.
More angrily, DC fucking killed Ted off in the name of affirmative action AND because Jaime was Geoff John's pet creation. Hence why Jaime got shoved into the cartoon and Smallville (and promptly rejected by EVERYONE, to the point that a purposely campy AQUAMAN became the break-out character in B&TB).
Ted only remained dead because DiDio, Geoff, Greg Rucka, and Judd Winnick all hate Ted and want Ted to stay dead because A. Fuck the fans and B. We won't fucking admit we failed with Jaime.
And indeed, in his own warped way, Grant Morrison is the only reason Jaime is no longer being shilled. Grant wants Pax America to be the only place for Charlton heroes and as a compromise, DC has embargoed Blue Beetle and Question from the main books unless they are in civilian form.
