Jaime Reyes enjoys having a normal life like spending time with his friends and family but that doesn't mean that he can't do the same with his superhero life. However, bigger problems are about to arrive for him and his partner Ted Kord.
This character has returned and this time is handled by one of his original creators, Keith Giffen. How does it fare?
Quite nicely thankfully but that's not what worries me about it.
Giffen does a pretty solid job at introducing both Jaime Reyes and Ted Kord to new readers while also referencing a lot of his previous histories for the old audience, the writing is effective in that regard at the very least.
The good aspects don't end there though since the author gives something that character has been missing for a while now: Fun. There's more personality in this issue than in the totality of the last volume (not surprising since it was handled by Tony Bedard) and is pretty obvious in the interactions between the members of the cast, their conversations reveal their own personalities perfectly while being quite humorous to boot.
Is also good to know that Giffen is following some of the classic characters from Jaime Reyes' run like La Dama who seems to be playing a more important role this time.
What worries me though, is that I tend to enjoy the writer's early issues but once that it seems like one of his books is going to be cancelled, he pretty much goes all: "Fuck this, I'm out" which fails to provide a satisfying conclusion and he either ends-up killing a character in anticlimactic way or ignores the final battle. Let's pray that's not the case here.
Scott Kolins is in charge of the art and is surprisingly solid by being able to depict the expressions perfectly while following the script in an effective manner.
This is the most entertaining story about the character since the end of his first series. Hoping that it continues this way through the end.
