Blue Bleetle: Shellshocked follows Jaime Reyes as he learns to live and adept with a mysterious alien-like technology called The Scarab.
While I figured (like the Flash) that I would try to dive into some of the "B-List" DC characters, I didn't really find a lot about this to enjoy. The artwork and writing were okay, but I found myself getting distracted and having to reread the page or panels multiple times to get it to stick.
Just not for me.

It's weird, reading around all the references to other stories and characters that I have not read. I love the fact that a Mexican-American superhero exists. I could wish that the writer and illustrators got their Spanish-language bits looked at by a Spanish speaker. I love the fact that this superhero talks to his family and friends.

Okay, so, we start a bit in media res because Jamie was introduced in an event before these issues. Still, if you've read some superhero comics, you've probably dealt with more jarring intros. On the plus side, these first issues do a good job introducing Jamie's world and who he is. I've only really experienced Jamie through tv adaptations before, and I'm definitely interested after this in spending more time with this version.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I was entertained, indeed, but I didn't really get too into it. But I will be checking out the next volume of the series to see if it gets better and/or addicting.
