No. I'm not reading any mainstream current DC, and I don't intend to try again until after the next crisis is over and/or Bart and Kon are back. And it might take me five years or so to not be irrationally pissed off at new Blue Beetle for not being Ted Kord, so even if I poke at anything else, I unfortunately won't be able to check that out.
And I *do* get really angry at comics. And if I'm getting really angry, they're not fun. And if they're not fun, they're not doing their job.
Really. Booster gathered the other Blue Beetles to pull him out just before getting shot. But to 'keep the timeline from collapsing' he can't show himself to anyone.
Oh good. That is actually okay. Maybe they can do that for Bart and Kon. :|
I mean that really is actually okay. That's a continuity cheat that I am a fan of. I've been known to use it. It's like 'Okay, no, your big angsty story is still valid, I'm not retconning it because I know some people actually like it, but my happy fun times are also still valid BECAUSE TIME TRAVEL ROXXORZ and I /fixed/ your stupid mistakes.' Maybe that's how Steph came back too. I would like to think that. You know. Time travel. Bodyswap. That's a fake body, really. A chemoid or whatever.
