First of all I just want to say that I think Dan Jurgens does an incredible job with this book. It really seems like he's pouring his heart into it. Plus, with doing the story and the art . . that's a lot of work. Norm Rapmund finishes his stuff, and it looks fantastic. This issue wraps up the Day of Death story-line. Remember, the Black Beetle helped Deathstroke finish off the Titans. That weakened the JLA, when there was no one to replace Batman when he died. Which led to Trigon taking over the planet. Booster's in the year 2020 now, and there's less than 38,000 humans alive. With the help of the resistance . . Zatanna, Kyle and Ollie, plus Booster's brought Raven along . . and Black Beetle and Luthor are secretly working behind Trigon's back . . they've worked their way into Trigon's secret vault. In there, Kyle gets a Green Lantern ring, and Zatanna sends Michael, Rip, Raven and Skeets back to their time-bubble. Unfortunately, Black Beetle has also obtained something he was after . . a Red Scarab. " . . far more powerful than the one I have. Together . . they will make be virtually unstoppable." I'm starting to think that the only way they're going to be able to stop this Black Beetle is to figure out who he really is. They have to stop him before he becomes this malevolent character. So they go back and Booster takes Deathstroke's place. The Titans live, and Raven gives Slade the memories so he'll think he was there. That part is back on track. But now he has to go put everything back in place with Batman. In the back-up, the Black Beetle again appears as he comes after Jaime. However, Jaime gives himself over to the Scarab and becomes a lot more powerful than he ever thought possible. There's one point in here where the Black Beetle convinces Jamie that he's Hector. He later says that's not true, but . . I'm thinking there's something to it. He may not be Hector, but . . I think he is someone close to Jaime. Maybe even . . Jaime himself. He tells Jaime that this is the day he dies, but . . he never really puts up much of a fight. It's more like he's taunting him than anything. So I'm thinking that he wants him to give into the power and influence of the Scarab. He's not going to die literally, but . . he's also not going to be the person he was before today. That's just speculation, but . . that's what I think. Somehow Jaime is tied into all of this. We just don't know the details. Yet! Anyways, it's an interesting story by Matthew Sturges and Mike Norton.
