  I cant say that I am either surprised or dismayed at Blue Beetles cancellation. But I will miss Kolins art. Read Full Review

  Even if the title was cut short, it was a fun run. It's somewhat disappointing that it never quite realized the claim from the early issues that "Together they are the Blue Beetle." Hopefully, neither Ted nor Jaime will linger long in comic book limbo before they are brought back in another title. Read Full Review

  This issue shows that the bones of a great all-ages comic are in this book, but it never quite reached its potential until it was too late. Read Full Review

  I doubt we've seen the last of The Blue Beetle, but alas, this series has come to an end. If you've not given the run a chance, take a look at this issue. It's really a fun story. It's been a good comic for teens to pick up, and once you give this issue a read, you may find yourself looking for some of the back issues. Read Full Review

  Nothing's quite new about the book, nor is there much of an arc taking place, but it's a fun read with Ted coaching stubborn teen Jaime towards true heroism. Read Full Review

  Blue Beetle comes to an end with this issue........ and really, it's about time.  There was never anything to really like about this series and this issue does little to try and redeem it.  The art is alright, but nothing that I'm a big fan of and ultimately, I'm happy as hell that this series has ended because maybe now we'll get a proper one at some point in the future that can forget that it tried to turn Blue Beetle into some kind of ancient magic.

  You Don't Read Comics - Christopher Landers

  Overall, this issue served its purpose of wrapping up Jaimes story, while still hinting at more adventures to come, but it was too rushed, and came across as sloppy. The next time DC tackles Blue Beetle, they need take more time to clearly define his position in their universe, where he is coming from, and where they want him to go. Instead of launching another solo series, putting him on a team, such as the Teen Titans or the Justice League, might serve the character better while allowing him to build a bigger fan base.
