Some thoughts about Blue Beetle #1

Can the Blue Beetle deal with both his normal and superhero life?

Jaime can barely handle both his friends and school but Ted Kord believes he can do much more with the help of the Scarab. However, things are going to get complicated once that supervillains start appearing.

Once again, so far so good.

Keith Giffen arrives with the proper beginning of this series by focusing on several aspects of Jaime's life. As in any other work written by Giffen, one of the strongest points here is the amount of personality he's able to inject into the story. From the witty banter, to the interesting ideas, to the on-point characterization, everything seems absolutely fitting to the kind of character that Blue Beetle is, especially if we consider the fact that Ted Kord is also starring here and both Jaime and him are portrayed quite well. Giffen is simply in his A-game in this book.

There's a greater sense of energy as well thanks to the multiple action scenes and engaging interaction between the characters. Despite that Giffen is old-school, his dialogue never gets old and he's able to write young people quite normally without making them look like caricatures.

Scott Kolins also demonstrates solid skill in art duties thanks to his expressive characters and vibrant action scenes.

Pretty enjoyable, I just hope that Giffen has a good plan for the book this time.
