reread the new 52 blue beetle over the weekend and it was not as bad as i remember! i think it does miss a few of the key themes and and also small details that i like from the 2006 series but it also does do a lot of interesting things with the reach and their history, i think it gets better as it goes along and there are a few speech bubbles in the later issues that showed a nice understanding of jaime’s character and the themes present in the 06 run that i was almost mad the rest didn’t feel as strongly like that

#i think it misses out small things that were really central and important imo to the original run #and i hate that jaime doesn’t tell his family anything and spends a large portion of the run in space separated from his community #and i much prefer the development of khaji da and jaime’s relationship in the 06 one especially with the scarab text and all #also i don’t really like the brenda jaime relationship in this one #feel like this one is a lot more love triangle-y than any other #but! there are things like khaji kai that show the importance of free will #and the scene where jaime says if aliens came to earth he’d make friends instead of fight!!!!#idk i need to mull it over and reread certain bits before my opinion on it is solidified #but it’s not a bad run #it’s not groundbreaking but it’s pretty fun still #i’m also enjoying rebirth a lot less than i thought i would so far lmao i think it’s because i hate the magic thing #and have strong thoughts on ted being there #blue beetle #jaime reyes #mine
