About the series
Tony Bedard and Keith Giffen steer Jaime Reyes, the teenaged Blue Beetle, through a 17-issue DC run (2011–2013) that pits him against alien threats and the scarab’s own dark legacy. With art by Ig Guara, Marcio Takara, and Scott McDaniel, the series deepens the character’s ties to the Reach and his supporting cast while carving out a distinct corner of the DC Universe. It matters as a key chapter in Jaime’s solo adventures, bridging his original series with the New 52 era.
