So, should I get it? Well, Blue Beetle: Graduation Day #1 seems like a perfect jumping-on point for new fans interested in diving into the character. Long-time Blue Beetle fans will still find a little something to wet their whistle, however, its more of the overarching concepts and possibilities that will drive these long-time fans to continue. Moreover, Blue Beetle: Graduation Day #1 is also offered entirely in Spanish which is absolutely fantastic! So, I highly recommend giving it a try, especially if youre a Blue Beetle fan or more on the younger side. Otherwise, this is probably a rock-hard pass. Read Full Review
Graduation Day Special kicks off a return to prominence for Jaime, which hopefully wont be the last time. This debut has a solid start that should be maintained throughout by this creative team. Read Full Review
It's a promising start, but it feels like Jaime is moving backwards in some ways so far. Read Full Review
Blue Beetle: Graduation Day #1 starts out with some fun energy, but for some reason, Josh Trujillo dials that back while also handcuffing his young hero. I thought it was a very odd misstep that hopefully get fixed next issue, but for now, this issue was a bit of a disappointment. Read Full Review
A solid opening for this miniseries. Jaime's struggles with transformation, his role in life, and his future are established well. Some of the dialogue wasn't my favorite, but I do like the overall story as a whole and this issue builds some interest to see where things go. Seeing Superman eat elote was not something I expected to see in a comic, but it's very much welcome.
Nice start to the mini series. Nothing to much to say except looking forward to next issue.
