Product of its time maybe? This didn't work for me on a few levels.

So Jamie is now the weilder of the mighty blue beetle. Upgraded look, this is a sleek, Iron-man/alien hybrid type suit with some serious Guyver (Anime/manga) Vibes. With Jamie taking this suit and becoming a hero, how will he be able to juggle all that with his family and friends and all the drama in his life already? Not to mention returning one year later and nobody has seen him since!

Good: I like the suit a lot. A badass looking alien suit that's hard to control or take reign of is cool. I also thought some of the more home-good feeling moments were nice, the family moments clicked well enough, and I'm kind of excited to see where it goes.

Bad: The art is pretty bad. Like really empty and boring and the fight scenes need serious work. The tone is a little off, going from kind of cartoony and fun to having people get shot up and crushed to death. I thought the dialogue hit some cringe level moments and misplaced slang didn't help matters. The story structure can be a tad confusing at first and make it hard to really get sucked into the story. The villains were too goofy for me to care.

Overall, kind of disappointed in this one. It's not horrible but not very good. Either. I'll give it another volume to see if it changes my mind but this is barely a 2.5. So I can't push it to a 3.
