I definitely liked the first volume better, but vol 2 was still entertaining, and action packed.
I really liked the appearance of the green lanterns, and booster gold
This series had so much potential and don’t understand why they cancelled it ,but hopefully the threshold series can give closure to some of the plots that went unresolved.

This book gets an extra star because Booster Gold shows up for 20 minutes.

I love Jaime Reyes, and I was sad to learn after finishing this that the title was cancelled in 2013. There are two very distinct stories in this trade: starting with Jaime's adventures in New York and continuing with his attempts to get home after being thrown far into deep space.

The stand out moments for me were Jaime being rescued from being beaten up by Booster Gold by his grandma and a passing cohort of latino New Yorkers, and the widening out of the world as we learn more about Jaime's useful but amoral and unpredictable scarab parasite.

I like the character and was ready to roll with it, but this volume can't seem to settle on a tone. We go from Jaime on the run in the city to Jaime plotting to destroy an entire world. Also, the Lantern Corp was there for a sec, and Booster Gold for a hot minute. Not quite. On to Rebirth!

Really enjoying the New 52 Blue Beetle story lines. The artwork and character development in this volume are especially well done.
