Tearing its way through the events of DAY OF VENGEANCE and INFINITE CRISIS, the mystical Blue Beetle scarab has chosen its new guardian. But supernatural powers can be a blessing or a curse, and when it comes to the powers of the Scarab, you don't get one without the other!
A fun, lively story with a touch of high drama, Blue Beetle overcomes its faults to emerge as a valuable addition to DC's lineup. Beautifully illustrated by Cully Hamner, this series is definitely one to watch. Read Full Review
This issue was really perfectly paced. It has tension and a mystery in the present. It has a flashback to the origin and the slow exploration of his powers. It has an interesting and fun supporting cast. Action, light humor, curious subplots: this is what superhero comics are about. Despite some awkwardness here and there, a promising start.

pretty standard origin. introduces the usually story elements we associate with a teenager hero. Interesting family dynamic, weird powers, goofy yet fun friend trio, and more importantly the mysterious set up for the rest of the series. This is a fun issue that establishes the sort of journey Jamie Reyes will go on. His struggles, potential triumphs, and his sprawling adventure through the sci-fi portion of DC comics' world. It's really interesting. I also appreciate they set up this weird rivalry between Jamie & Guy Gardner. I hope they expand on that little feud.
