Blue Beetle #18

Blue Beetle leaps forward in full armor — scarab suit crackling with energy, one arm transformed into a wicked black blade — against a golden backdrop packed with hieroglyphic imagery and the ghostly faces of allies and enemies surrounding him. The cover tagline "His Final Battle?" lends real weight to this 2018 issue, hinting at high stakes as the series reaches what feels like a turning point. Scott Kolins's dynamic linework, colored with rich blue and amber tones by Romulo Fajardo Jr., makes this an eye-catching chapter in Christopher Sebela's run.
