picked this up on a whim from my library recently, i knew almost nothing about the Blue Beetle character but got this because it was made by the same duo who made one of my favorite graphic novels ever, Frontera
i really loved this!! my favorite superhero stories are ones that can balance real-world issues with superhero antics, and this did that splendidly. this also had some of my favorite ever commentary on the right-wing pipeline (in a way that wasn't cringy to read).
would definitely recommend this even if you're overall not much of a superhero fan, because discussion of the right wing pipeline and immigration seemed to me like the main topic and the superhero stuff secondary, and i thought it was done extremely well
