Escape from El Paso

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

BB runs off to New York to escape what has basically been a rewrite of the previous pre-New 52 series and things improve immensely.

Deciding he needs an older more experienced mentor he approaches Green Lantern Kyle Rayner which isn't actually a bad choice but for reasons beyond BB's control things don't work out. Then he tries Booster Gold and if you're familiar with the character then you're already laughing. This is followed by encounter with DEO and Director Bones who is too paranoid and manipulative.

Following an encounter with OMAC! that takes place in a different book, our young hero ends up in deep space pursued by several seriously nasty bad guys. And before we can get a resolution the series is cancelled. This is a shame as things really picked up in this second volume. There's plenty going on, Jaime Reyes is a likeable character, the art is clear and sharp, and Tony Bedard the writer tells the story well. This is one of the better titles that DC have ruthlessly cancelled and it's a shame.

BB will be back somewhere because the concept and character are too strong to waste. Me, I'd like to see him where he really belongs -in the Teen Titans- or, failing that, maybe in the recently started JLA. So, buy this book and be prepared to be patient for his return.

Good, but not as good as the first volume.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

The first issues of the volume were good, but things were rushed after the zeroth issue. I guess that's because DC were quick to cancel off the Hispanic hero. I really would've liked the arch with the Reach to have been at least 6/7 issues long, with full development in its own volume. Jaime Reyes deserves a developed conclusion. There were quite a few funny moments, like the 'ex-girlfriend' gag, and it leads directly onto Threshold: The Hunted, which, for the sake of Jaime Reyes, I shall read.

Blue Beetle's Adventures in the New 52

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is the collected volume of Blue Beetle's (Jaime Reyes) big adventures in the new 52 comics (issues 7 to 16, and also the special issue 0 -- which tells the backstory of the scarab).

You get the same number of pages as in the individual issues but all together at once, and there are several story arcs here to read though, about 1 per issue. On the first page of each story is a caption title as if it were a TV episode.

The art is sharp, clear, and detailed for most of the book, except I notice that the first page of issue 0 is slightly blocky and pixelated. Fortunately it's mostly minor and just for 1 page, and it's mostly a splash page, so you can squint to help hide the blockiness and enjoy the scene (the captions aren't blocky).

I've another art comment about the tacked-on story, at the end of the book, that leads into the Threshold adventure. The art style changes and unarmored Jaime Reyes starts looking ugly: He gets a huge nose that he didn't have in earlier issues and then his features change from panel to panel (This is only a sneak preview of a visual identity crisis that will befall poor Blue Beetle in the actual Threshold comic -- inconsistent graphics).

This collected volume separates the gap between issues with the original color cover on one side but without the title decoration and text overlay. Sometimes this is followed by an empty, solid-filled page of black color on the other side to fill out the book. This is different than in the first collected volume, "Blue Beetle Vol. 1: Metamorphosis (The New 52)," where there was a black and white version of the issue cover on the other side of the page.

Also, unlike the first Collected volume, there isn't any character art or extra features in the back of the book. It would be sad to think that they have already started to loose, or just don't have more of, the bonus material for this character.

I noticed that some of the captions, specifically the informational hints about DC lore and also the comic crossover notes from the individual issues were removed from the pages of this book. I think that missing some explanations and background information takes away from the experience of casual readers who don't know about DC lore, and I'm one of them.

Blue Beetle Is Fun and Insightful

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

It really is a shame they cancelled this series, it was so full of promise. Jaime Reyes is a great character that even a 29 year old man such as myself can really get into.

The only problem I had with this is that one minute Blue Beetle is in NYC and then the very next issue he's in Outer Space.
Yes, they tell why he's there and it's all explained but I would have rather that "2 Page Explanation" have been drawn out into possibly two issues. But then again, I'm always wanting more Blue Beetle anyway.

If you haven't read the first Volume, read it first.
Otherwise, Blue Beetle is fun, comical, powerful, insightful, interesting, and above all else he is easy to relate to.
