The Blue Beetle #3

In "The Past Is Another Country," Jaime returns after a year-long disappearance, but his memories are gone—leaving his friends and family to grapple with his return, unsure if the boy they knew is truly back. Written by Keith Giffen and John Rogers, with art by Cynthia Martin and inks by Phil Moy, this issue explores the emotional weight of absence and identity, all anchored in the quiet tension of a homecoming that feels both familiar and strange. The cover by Duncan Rouleau captures the haunting uncertainty of Jaime’s return.
