    Oh... My... :D 5

    THIS IS MY FAVORITE OF THE NEW 52 SO FAR AND I DOUBT IT CAN BE PASSED!!!Seriously, Blue Beetle is my favorite superhero and I was not disappointed one bit!The GoodWe start off with a brief history of the Reach and the involvement of the Green Lanterns and seeing the Reach in action was awesome! They were fierce warriors that conquered with ease and this makes me excited about their future with Jaime. We got to see Jaime's life with his friends Brenda and Paco and going through what a lot of skin...

    A fun and solid start 0

    Blue Beetle was never a character I knew a lot about so in a way I'm the type of reader this new #1 was for. In almost every way this issue was written as an origin story and introduction to the new Blue Beetle. There's a handy prologue which gives us a look at the history of Scarab Khaji-Da and how it arrived on earth, an introduction to Jaime, the key modern day character, and an action sequence that leads to him becoming the Blue Beetle. It all works together fairly well and succeeds conside...

    Still a Caterpillar mister Beetle 1

    I want to say... Week 3 and finally a somewhat mainstream characters gets a good book and i can.So we start with a prologue tell's us where the beetle comes from, we're introduced to a few characters that will play secondary roles in the book, we get an introduction the character. I don't really like the character all that much. He feels like a mexican spiderman clone (not that mexican spidermen are a bad thing) in personality and such... and while the reach's back story is interesting the whole...

    I still remeber you eating crayons in kindergarten. 0

    Gosh darn él! Out of all of the languages that they had to teach me in school, why oh why didn’t they teach me Spanish. I mean out of all the characters in the DC world I’m only going to be able to understand all the English speaking characters, Sir Ystin and a little bit of what the Wild Huntsman has to say. Now I’m going to have to go out and take some night classes just to understand what’s being said here….. Or maybe I should pick up an English copy of this issue rather than the Spanish one ...

    Too.....much......spanish....must.....not....be...annoyed. 2

    Review fo Blue Beetle #1.  The Story: We get a prologue of The Reach conquering a planet and sending a beetle to Earth but was attacked by a Green Lantern. In the prsent day Jaime and Paco go to Brenda's birthday party but run in to villains aquiring the beetle and Jaime bonding to it. The Good: Tony Bedard does have a good handle writting teenagers. The bantering between the characters feels natural enough and he doesn't try and have the teenage characters use slang therms to much since that al...

    Good, But Didn't I Just Read This? 1

    Blue Beetle is a good but unnecessary reboot of a character who is only a few years old. Because of this, it can't help but feel like a rehash of a series that many Blue Beetle fans have already recently read.The issue begins with the reintroduction the Reach and their scarab technology as it lays waste to an alien world. It is good to see that Tony Bedard will not be taking us through the mystery of whether or not the scarab is mystical or technological as the last series did. Bedard does a goo...

    A remake of the origin? Let's hope 0

    Just right off the bat i have to say I love the Blue Beetle. When I heard of this tittle I already had feared this was going to be a remake of the origin which is great for new people yet it could had been better for the older fans but this is for those who don't need to worry about reading anything else before (let's remind you people the blue beetle comic as much as we love it also had a slow start)I get what the writer wants to do, since blue beetle is getting popular and this is the perfect ...

    The DCU's Beetleborg! 7

    A new Blue Beetle for a new age, this is why this beetle has his own series.  A series that is being used as an accessible point because of the 52.  The Blue Beetle is now a sci-fi series with Tony Bedard writing it in his Green Lantern voice.  The story was entertaining setting up the alien scarab mythos and how a teenage boy would obtain it.  This is a Blue Beetle that feels like a rip-off of the Beetleborgs, but since this books' target market might barely remember Beetleborgs or never saw i...

    Spanglish. 7

    Being an American of Puerto Rican AND Mexican descent, I have to say, the Spanglish kills this series for me. I know HEAPS of Latinos who do NOT speak that way, including myself and everyone in my family. They either speak in English or they speak in Spanish. I've never gotten the fascination with "Spanglish" in the entertainment world when it comes to the portrayal of Latino characters. I find it a forced reminder of what the characters ethnicity is and it comes off bogus.   The only positive t...

    Blue Beetle, Blue Beetle, Blue Beetle! 0

    The Good: IG GUARA'S ARTWORK. It's not something super insane like Frazer Irving or Philip Tan or anything, but I REALLY LOVE Ig Guara's art. And he hasn't done a whole lot. I loved his work on Grodd of War, and I'm super pumped to see him on a monthly series. He draws all the main characters so well, and makes the Reach have actual variation, and the villains in the end are all drawn so cool. I really like Ig Guara's art, and he seems to be such a great fit for this series. Wish he was doing th...

    Am I Blue? 0

    The original Blue Beetle series that spun out of Infinite Crisis was excellent. Unfortunately, I'm one of the many people who did not buy the original run when it was out (I caught up with trades), resulting in the series cancellation. Jaime is one of few Hispanic superheroes in mainstream comics and one of the only heroes in history to gain powers and instantly inform his friends and family. His powers are interesting and the back story behind the scarab is something I was eager to find more ou...

    Can this series fill me in? 1

    I was never a Blue Beetle fan initially, I first heard of him from watching Batman, the Brave and the Bold, and from seeing him in a few Teen Titans comics. I never really grasped his potential, until one episode.In Brave and the Bold, the episode where Batman turns into a Vampire, he is one of the only two members of the J.L.I, along with the always awesome Martian Manhunter, successful at fighting a VAMPIRE BATMAN! And I mean, Alucard like Batman.....not sparkle sparkle Batman.He still got a b...
