Blue Beetle #1
This collection kicks off the 2024 Blue Beetle series, following Jaime Reyes as he faces a new threat in the form of a war between rival scarab factions. Written by Josh Trujillo with art by Adrián Gutiérrez, the volume pits the teen hero against both the Reach and a mysterious new Blue Beetle, forcing him to protect his home and redefine what it means to be a hero.
In "Scarab War, Chapter One," Jaime struggles to balance training the fledgling heroes Dynastes and Nitida with protecting the Horizon aliens now settled in Panama City—where not everyone welcomes their new neighbors. As tensions rise and old conflicts simmer, Ted faces a threat that could upend everything, setting the stage for a clash that’s as much about trust as it is about power.
In "Scarab War, Chapter Two," Jaime grapples with guilt after Ted is left comatose, while Dynastes and Nitida confront the shifting realities of their new lives as scarab bearers—only to face a sudden, mysterious threat. The story unfolds with tense introspection and escalating danger, testing their resolve and the bonds that hold them together.
In "Scarab War, Chapter Four," Jaime grapples with the weight of protecting those he cares about as the threat of the Blood Scarab looms. Amid the tension, Oo'Li offers quiet insight into Earth through her observations, while Paco and Xiomara share a moment of connection.
In "Scarab War, Chapter Six," Jaime faces an escalating threat as he and his allies confront the Blood Scarab, pushing him to the edge. With Khaji Da refusing to allow Kha-Ef-Re to triumph, Jaime must make a choice that could change everything.
