Superman and Batman come looking for Jaime in Palmera City. After weeks of attacks with Blue Beetle directly at the center, the World’s Finest can’t sit by any longer. They’re going to get to the bottom of Jaime’s connection to the impending Reach invasion, even if it means putting an end to his life as a hero!
Blue Beetle Graduation Day is one of those series where its obvious how integral every member of the creative team is to the books success. As a result the series becomes more than the sum of its parts. Blue Beetle Graduation Day #5 is the most shining example yet. Its hard to imagine this book being done in any other way by any other team, and it once again outshines the competition. Read Full Review
Blue Beetle: Graduation Day has fulfilled its premise in so many ways to this point, and the finale looks to end this fantastic series in epic fashion. Read Full Review
While it has its flaws, anyone who enjoys Jaime Reyes will love having the chance to see the third Blue Beetle return to action. With Jaime finally earning the respect of the Justice League, it will be interesting to see the hero face off against the Horizon with Batman, Superman, and Black Condor at his side. If the art remains this good through the last issue, it is absolutely worth checking out the entireBlue Beetle: Graduation Day series. Read Full Review
Overall, this issue was sort of an appetizer for what's sure to be a massive showdown with the Horizon next issue. Read Full Review
Blue Beetle: Graduation Day #5 is jam-packed with characters, but with one issue left, I wish more of the focus was on Jaimie Reyes himself. That's been a problem with the series in general, but there is still some fun here, and I am looking to see how Josh Trujillo will wrap all this up next issue. Read Full Review
The story is fine but I still don't like the art. It's not bad, It just feels so out of place for me.
A fairly entertaining issue that, despite its flaws, manages to tell an interesting story. Jaime can be a bit of an annoying character here, but it's understandable considering the stress he's under with his current situation and how he's been recently been feeling, emotionally. Nonetheless, this was an enjoyable read that sets up The Horizon coming to Earth and facing Jaime, as well as the other two beetles, in the next, and final, issue of the miniseries.
This miniseries is losing some steam and I just hope that the ending is okay.
