Mar 30, 2006This issue was really perfectly paced. It has tension and a mystery in the present. It has a flashback to the origin and the slow exploration of his powers. It has an interesting and fun supporting cast. Action, light humor, curious subplots: this is what superhero comics are about. Despite some awkwardness here and there, a promising start.

pretty standard origin. introduces the usually story elements we associate with a teenager hero. Interesting family dynamic, weird powers, goofy yet fun friend trio, and more importantly the mysterious set up for the rest of the series. This is a fun issue that establishes the sort of journey Jamie Reyes will go on. His struggles, potential triumphs, and his sprawling adventure through the sci-fi portion of DC comics' world. It's really interesting. I also appreciate they set up this weird rivalry between Jamie & Guy Gardner. I hope they expand on that little feud.
