Blue Beetle, Vol. 1: The More Things Change by Keith Giffen

birdmanseven's review

Jaime Reyes is a good character, but this book sure was bad. I'm not sure why they keep giving the title back to the same author. Clearly things aren't working. This reimagines the scarab as magic and also Ted Kord is around and also I don't care.

We talked about this over on Comic Book Coffee Break:

The concept was so much better than the execution. The art was gorgeous though and I️ like the idea. I May dip in and see if it gets better

I normally really like Scott Kolins art, but it really came across rushed here most of the time.

It is nearly impossible to see the good through the bad in this. Absolutely will not read another issue.

This 2 stars rounded up. Listen Keith Giffen has been (and will continue to be) an outstanding writer for DC. He's even been an outstanding writer of this character, which helped me to look forward to this, but this is a horrible introduction to this character. There is two or three pages of nonsense, that if its supposed introduction to supporting characters is terrible. If it supposed to charming or funny its not. Frankly its the one of the dumber meaningless banter/argument committed to comics this year. The second half of the book is much much better, and Giffen finds his pace, and does outstanding work. But the first half could have used a serious rewrite.
