: One of my favorite books, Blue Beetle,
: continues its lame duck way towards its last
: issue. It's jus a freeform bitterness,
: because I can't fault DC for giving up
: finally or really fellow fans for not buying
: the book. It was quirky and fun and those
: two words don't describe a whole lot of
: successful books. I'll miss it even if the
: art was never what I'd call great or that
: the writing took a dip when Rogers left.
: Not a colossal lowering of quality like when
: Checkmate lost Rucka but it couldn't have
: helped.
:
: Good-bye, Jaime. I just wish you were going
: to call home a book I could still buy.
: Since McKeever mischaracterizes most of the
: Teen Titans cast there...

That seems an apt overview of whats going on with the series. And also perfectly fair summary of this months issue...

There was a coverprice worthy dose of good stuff this issue... 
Polaris' monologue along with the shocking title page set up.
"I prefer crafty."
Hyena Boys cameo.
Scarab's tactical override and gluons.
Paco/Brenda thing.
Decent fight scenario.
GREAT line by Polaris: 
Peacemaker, Jaime, and old lady joking in the aftermath.
Border Patrol decision.
"Yeah--it might take a minute though."
