Start your review of Blue Beetle, Vol. Feb 01, Chad rated it did not like it Shelves: hoopla Giffen and DeMatteis used to be two of the funniest guys on the planet, now they can't even write a coherent Blue Beetle: Road Trip Volume 2. There are SO many dialogue boxes on each page and yet none of the characters really say anything of import. Arion is one of the worst villains I've seen Blue Beetle: Road Trip Volume 2 years. He wants to destroy the world because Atlantis was destroyed thousands of years ago and humanity will never achieve a greater apex than then. It Blue Beetle: Road Trip Volume 2 no sense. And he drones on endlessly. I guess since the previ Giffen and DeMatteis used to be two of the funniest guys on the planet, now they can't even write a coherent plot. I guess since the previous incarnations of Blue Beetle originating from a corporate version of the Green Lanterns were all canceled, the scarab is now some magic thing originating from pre-Atlantean days. For some reason, Giffen has brought in all of the characters from his various series in the new 52 as his supporting cast. I'm surprised Larfleeze didn't show up. Giffen and DeMatteis really should hand in their pens. The stories they've written for DC post Flashpoint are really only good as toilet paper. View 1 comment. Jan 27, Jeremiah rated it liked it. This series really fails in comparison to Giffen's previous run on Blue Beetle. Jun 13, Ivy rated it it was amazing Shelves: checked-out-from-librarypublished-insuperheroessupervillainsvillainsdc-comics. Arion takes the scarab and tries to start taking over the world. The people in the city start turning into monsters. Jaime finds out his friend, Kevin, is Omac. Jaime decides to bond with the scarab again. Batman comes to evaluate Jaime. He is impressed with Jaime and tells him he has potential m. His mentor's assistant asks him to help her get back to the future. Nice to see how the scarab communicates with it's host. Also nice to see Batman again. Cool to find out Ted's assistant was a Flash from the future. Hope his mom will approve of Blue Beetle: Road Trip Volume 2 bonding with the scarab again. Dec 21, Chris Lemmerman rated it it was ok Shelves: comics-and-manga-read. There seems to be something about Blue Beetle that no one can get right these days. This volume is so all over the place, I don't even know where to begin. There are characters thrown in for fun, like OMAC and Doctor Fate, while Arion is made out to be a huge threat when he's really not, and then there's suddenly a huge Justice League swerve right at the last minute that completely derails the storyline. I have no idea what's going on anymore. I used to think that Giffen and DeMatteis together were a match made in heaven, but these days they just result in overblown pages covered in dialogue balloons where the characters say a lot of words and yet don't say anything at all. It boggles the mind how you can have this many speech bubbles and yet no clear story going on.

The JLI Battles A Zombie Outbreak!By Henry WestDay Of The Undead is a new Justice League children's book featuring the characters appearing in comics published by DC Entertainment. In this new adventure, The Batman(Bruce Wayne), Blue Beetle(Jaime Reyes), Hawkman(Katar Hol), and Hawkwoman(Shayera Thal) learned that a rare artifact from a Gotham museum has stolen and it was the Gentleman Ghost, who will use it to awaken the dead and become his army of zombies. It is up the JLI to stop the Ghost and his nightmarish plans. One of the many reason i liked about this book is that the DC Universe Superheroes was wearing their classic costumes, and not the New 52 versions that made the current DCU a laughing stock. Day Of The Undead is the best Justice League book for all fans of the JLI!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

  • Comic Book Biography: Keith Giffen by Rik Offenberger
    Comic Book Biography: Keith Giffen by Rik Offenberger It’s one of the better creator stories of the past couple of years. After a stretch where he could barely get a nod of recognition from Marvel or DC, Keith Giffen is experiencing a career renaissance rarely seen. While he was a major force to contend with in comics in the later ‘80s and ‘90s, thanks to his work on Legion of Super- Heroes and Justice League, both titles ultimately went through major shifts in tone, and as their directions changed, so did their writer. For a long-ish period, it seemed that Giffen was gone from comics as well. His name would pop up occasionally, but for the most part, comics seemed to have moved on, and Giffen wasn’t on the train. Give it a few years, and things do change. With a solid foundation based in translating popular manga series, and some new superhero work through Boom! Studios, Giffen is back in full force, overseeing not one, but two major events: Annihilation at Marvel and 52 at DC. It’s a comeback that would make not only any of Giffen’s contemporaries, but…well, any creator working in mainstream comics jealous. During some of his rare free time, we sat down with Giffen for a look back, around, and forward. Newsarama: Keith, let's just jump into it at the beginning - where did you study art? Keith Giffen: The Little Falls public library. I didn't really have any formal art training and it shows. The year I spent at the NY School of Visual Arts was a faux hippie, metaphysical nightmare and the night courses I took at the DuCret School only reinforced what I'd already pulled from the library's books.
