Blue Beetle Rebirth,
Issue #1
is a title I bought based on the strength of the New 52 version of
The Blue Beetle.
I liked what I read of Jamie Reyes and his version of the Blue
Beetle which was also featured on the animated series, Batman:
The Brave and the Bold.
I haven't read too many “Rebirth” titles - just this one and
Green Lanterns
- because I simply didn't want another resetting of the DC Universe.
Worse yet, a lot of the great runs ended under The New 52, like Geoff
Johns's Green
Lantern
and Palmotti and Grey's Jonah
Hex/All
Star Western.
Scott Snyder is continuing his epic Batman
series,
but on Detective
Comics,
as Batman
is going to be coming out twice a month.
But
let's not be too hasty about Rebirth. It has gotten me to read two
new DC titles, and I've never really read DC in comic-book format.
The title itself isn't bad, although I'll take a hard look at the
series before I buy Blue
Beetle #1,
coming out on September 28th.
While there is some characterization, this issue is just your basic
smash-em-up action story with nothing (so far) behind it. I am going
to continue reading the title, but I'll have to decide whether to
read it month-by-month at $2.99 each or read it in trade paperback
form. I'm leaning toward the latter.
