Blue Beetle #5

Blue Beetle hurls himself forward in full armored glory on this 2024 cover by Adrián Gutiérrez, his scarab suit gleaming in deep blue as a chaotic aerial battle erupts behind him — multiple costumed figures trading blasts and blows across a vivid, energy-charged sky. The tagline "Battle for Palmera City!" sets the stakes for chapter five of the "Scarab War," with Josh Trujillo and Gutiérrez delivering a series that's clearly building toward something big. If you've been following Jaime Reyes's wild ride, this issue looks like exactly the right moment to hold on tight.
