Blue Beetle #4 and #5


Image result for blue beetle #5

Blue Beetle, Issue #4 and Issue #5 might be the last I see of Blue Beetle.  I liked the "New 52" version of Blue Beetle, but the "DC Universe Rebirth" version hasn't caught my fancy.  Issue #4 starts with some teen drama, not that it's always a terrible thing.  I do read Nisekoi and other teen-drama series.  Then it goes into a short origin story, as Jaime Reyes tells it to a doctor under Ted Kord's supervision.  The doctor has news that he kept secret from Jaime: the scarab is making Jaime's body mutate, and it can't be removed without killing him.

I bought Issue #5 because it finishes the arc; Blue Beetle, Volume 1 contains Blue Beetle: Rebirth, Issue #1, and Blue Beetle, Issue #1 through Issue #5.  In Issue #5, Jaime's mother, Dr. Reyes, is treating a superpowered teenager when Mordecai enters the clinic and chases everyone out.  He fights with the Blue Beetle, and yeah.  I'm done with this series.  I just don't care anymore.  Maybe Batwoman will be better.
