With Jaime's adventures in New York basically over at this point, bar a sojourn over in the Justice League International Annual in a few weeks, it's going to be fun to see where Tony Bedard takes the character next. Solicitations say that we're going to Reachworld, which will give Jaime even more problems to overcome. This series is probably flying under a lot of people's radars, but it is a solid superhero series with a big heart and well worth checking out.
