review:
'Blue Beetle: Rebirth #1' by Keith Giffen with art by Scott Kolins is an interesting concept. A sidelined hero and a reluctant young protege must learn to fight as one unit.
The issue starts with a Blue Beetle fighting Rack and Ruin, the flashes back to earlier in the day when Jaime Reyes is just trying to get to school on time. He gets a call from Billionaire Ted Kord and he has to be late, again, to school to fight for the greater good. Jaime has been melded with the scarab that makes him the Blue Beetle and Ted acts as a kind of back up and mentor to him. This time someone has painted a target on the Beetle's back and sent in Rack and Ruin.
I like this character and that Keith Giffen has a hand in it. I've been a fan of his for a while and seeing his name on a title means it's going to be a fun ride. I like Jaime Reyes, and it's nice to see some diversity in characters. Maybe this will spread out a bit to other titles. I'm not sure what Ted Kord will do, but I guess that remains to be seen.
I received a review copy of this issue from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this comic book.
