But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Jan 02, 2024Blue Beetle #5 is so much fun. The book is filled with personality and passion, with the action and colors of a Power Rangers episode. The dialogue and the art are simultaneously stunning, and the slow inclusion of Starfire was a stroke of genius. Read Full Review

Jaime's newest miniseries continues to be a visual feast for the eyes thanks to the creative team of Adrián Gutiérrez (art), Will Quintana (colors), and Lucas Gattoni (lettering).

Quintana's colors leap of the page at every turn and his color palette for the various scarab-powered heroes is a joy to look at it. Gattoni's lettering for the various scarab-entities is just perfection.

This series continues to be at its beast as we approach the end of this arc. Trujillo does a nice job of building the tension and intensity throughout this issue, and I think Guitérrez's art only makes those feelings stronger. I especially liked how Blood Scarab ended up being absolutely unfazed by the big attack in the final few pages.
