What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Ah, okay. Haven't seen that one. I'm horribly out of the loop when it comes to anime these days.

I haven't seen the anime, just read the manga.

So Steph will be happy to know I've ahemmed the original run of Jaime as Blue Beetle and am finding it to be great stuff. (I just finished issue 8.)

Oh my god, yes. PACO FOREVER. Well, you may not have gotten to the great Paco stuff yet, but it's coming.
Seriously, that whole run is gold right through issue 24. I will give props to DC for hanging on to it long past the point its sales justified dumping it (which was unfortunately really early).
I think I love the supporting cast as much as Jaime. Maybe more. Especially Paco and Brenda. And Jaime's parents.

Yes, the supporting cast is wonderful. I like how (at least so far) Jaime's civilian life and those around him are at least as important, if not more so, than the hero stuff.
It also makes me want to say that Young Justice did right by the character, because comic Jaime and show Jaime feel very much like the same person (though I'm kind of disappointed we haven't at least gotten a Brenda and Paco cameo in his episodes.)

(1) I am on board for Blue Beetle squee any time. It seriously gets better from where you are.
(2) Yeah, as I watched more and more of YJ, I feel like they really did right by the character (although the show seems to indicate he lives in a big fancy house, which threw me). There are some differences (which is why I freaked out at the comment about the Scarab being Kord tech), but it really makes me feel like DC really loved that iteration of Blue Beetle, to the point of putting him in YJ and making him true to the comic.
(3) If Paco and Brenda were in YJ, even as a cameo, I would have died from happiness. PACO FOREVER.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kalshane, what's your source for stuff like that?

Is Pirate Bay still around? That used to be my source, after the dearly departed Demonoid.

I clearly had a great source, because the most time-consuming part of my last storage shuffle was a huge amount of CBRs, but I managed to have no trail back to source. I don't know if it was Demonoid, or somewhere still extant.
I do remember trying to download all the Superman from ever, and it's the frustrating torrent methodology in that all the files exist, but none are complete, because I didn't wait the months it would have taken to complete that low-traffic transfer. Next time, delete those before trying to move the comic folder.
