It was really good book.
It made a great job of setting the stakes of the mission, and showing us the relationships of Jaime with every of the characters.
While also being really fast paced and also not feeling rushed.
I feel really intrigued on what’s going to happen next, and it’s really sad that it only lasted for 16 issues

Blue Beetle is one of those DC characters I know next to nothing about. Truly, I think his existence was only known to me through the four 52 trades, and even then, I may be confusing him a bit with Booster Gold. Either way, I went in blind and came out a fan.
This is sort of DC's answer for Spider-man and, to a point, Iron Man. The Blue Beetle suit is more a parasitic thing from another planet with some relationship thematically to the Lantern system, and the Beetle scarab falls into the hands of a teenager who is both fighting the suit and himself. It's a pretty basic concept, but it's a standard trope because it works.
The trade doesn't spend a lot of time on a big bad overall, instead going for a more introductory tone. Unfortunately, this appears to have only lasted 16 or 17 issues for DC on a whole, so it looks like this will be over before it really gets a chance to start. I'll look forward to the next trade and then, unfortunately, that will be it.
