Deadpool looks good in the X-Men uniform. He uh, does it justice? Medina is a great artist for Wade.

The Bullseye/Deadpool banter is the absolute best. This whole volume is fantastic.
Blue Beetle, Vol. 2: Road Trip

Jaime is worming his way into my heart. He is so endearing.
Paco is really the star of this volume. Forget Peacemaker, forget the New Gods - Paco's characterization is what kept me reading at a lightning pace. We really see what he's made of, how willing he is to save the people important to him. This actually bleeds into our understanding of Jaime as well, since we are, after all, the sum of our experiences (and influences!)

Having already read Infinite Crisis, I was already aware of Jaime and his introduction. This gave me a headstart on the readers who pick up issue #1 of Blue Beetle with no prior awareness of his character. I will admit that the starting point is very abrupt; the first issue moves back and forth between past and present in a dizzying manner.
It's taken me several years to read about Jaime, because the previous incarnation of Blue Beetle was my very favorite character as a child and I was devastated by his death (hey, I get emotionally invested in my characters, so sue me). DC has since done itself no favors by its editorial decisions, so I haven't picked up a lot of their titles recently.
Jaime's family is probably one of my favorite things about his character - it's so rare to see a superhero with both parents and siblings and they're not abusive or absentee. His family gives him a lot of support and love after their initial surprise and anger due to his year-long disappearance.

I am loving Jaime’s gradual transition from good kid to actual superhero. I mean, honestly, his deepest darkest fantasy is to become a dentist so that he can make money to help his family and allow his little sister to go to college!
Makes me afraid to read his New 52 version. I hope they don’t ruin him too.

Jaime is still my favorite. Still apprehensive about New 52's version of him (I've heard they ruined his supporting cast ...)
Greg Pak is one of my favorite writers. I am now in love with Dazzler and cute baby Kurt and also Wolverine/Hercules? Yes, please.
