Ted Kord Comes to the New 52 in Forever Evil

With Batman Eternal bringing Stephanie Brown into DC Comics’s rebooted continuity and The Flash Annual doing the same for Wally West, the number of fan-favorite heroes who simply never existed in the New 52 is getting smaller every day.And now, it seems, smaller still.In a new interview with Newsarama, DC Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns confirmed that Ted Kord, the second and longest-running Blue Beetle, will come to the New 52 in the final issue of the currently-ongoing Forever Evil crossover event miniseries.”Ted Kord returns to the DCU in Forever Evil #7, and plays a role in Justice League post-Forever Evil,”Johns said simply and directly, when asked whether he could provide a one-sentence teaser for the future of the book. Unfortunately for fans who might like a little more of a hint, that was the last question asked.
