    Lacked some pizazz. 0

     This just in As in many comics in this era, this book is filled with several stories.  Oddly it is not just Blue Beetle, Samson and the Flame.  There is also a Cosmic Carson and Dr. Doom story.  (Not that Dr. Doom, see link)   The Blue Beetle story was the best story in this book but it was pretty straight forward.  The Samson story was so dull I actually started to fall asleep reading it.  The next was the first of two Flame stories.  Again these were dull and the second one was terrible. ...
