Blue Beetle #7

Blue Beetle #7
Okay, we're back on track here. This title is back to being very VERY GOOD, after the massive whatthefu#$? that was the last two issues. Part of that is Duncan Rouleau's fault. Part of it. But whatever, Giffen's back to form here, giving us a recap issue (for those who missed out on Infinite Crisis, it fills them in on all the pertinent aspects of the story) where we find out why Jaime had a missing year. And the answer is actually pretty simple and straightforward, considering...the Scarab shunted Jaime into the space between dimensions that Brother Eye had been occupying before it blew up. However, since it blew up, it destabilized that entire region, causing time to move quicker, and Jaime never actually lost any time - he just skipped it. And apparently, the Scarab was created by a race with something to fear from the Green Lanterns. Which explains why Guy Gardner attacked Jaime when he crashed. Anyways, the supporting cast is all here, the backstory is all told, and now, it's time to hit the road! Please let further issues be similar to this one and not the last two...please, please...VERY GOOD.
