I don't think this second volume from Bedard quite catches the magic of the Blue Beetle like it has been before. I prefer the series started by Keith Giffen over the Tony Bedard New 52, but it is still very much readable. Issues with identity and family take center stage in this volume, and leaves Jaime to wonder who can be trusted and who is an enemy. His ongoing struggle with the bugsuit is funny at times, but most of the time it is pretty boring. I would like to see a little more action, and some understanding that the Blue Beetle is actually a hero, and not a villain like he was perceived in this one. ( )
