This issue is really a good jumping on point for new readers. We get a background story on Michael, and his mission. And in the back-up, we're also filled in on what Jaime's up to, and what's brought him to this point. Anyways, in Booster's story, we finally catch up with Michelle. It seems that she was pretty fed-up with all the time-travel stuff, so she went a few years into the past to hide. The problem is . . she ended up in Coast City. Yes, that Coast City . . shortly before it was destroyed. However, her story is going to intersect with Booster's pretty soon. He's sent back into the past because someone from the future is trying to stop Hank Henshaw from becoming the Cyborg-Superman. Even though he's done tremendously evil things, the chaos that would ensue from his not having been created would be even worse. At least that's the way Rip tells it. Anyways, Michael accomplishes his mission, and then we see that Michelle is confronted by the Cyborg-Superman in Coast City. With such a specific connection, I can't imagine it'll be too long before their stories over-lap. In the meantime, I think Dan Jurgens has done a great job with this character, and book. I love his work. In the back-up, after getting Jaime's back-story to date, we find that the Scarab is pulling him to Biayla. Specifically, the site where Dan Garrett first found it. It appears that all of Jamie's troubles have been coming from when the Scarab got rebooted out in space . . during the Reach fight. Previously, he had been working with a broken Scarab. When it rebooted . . it got fixed. And now it wants to fulfill it's original mission . . to become an infiltrator of the Reach. This was a tool that the Reach had planted here millions of years ago to help them take over the planet once it evolved. It appears they're ready to fulfill that plan. But from the final panel, it looks like the Peacemaker may have something to say about that. This story was by Matthew Sturges and Mike Norton. It's called the Beginning of the End, and . . it's supposed to wrap up next issue. After that . . Blue Beetle is no longer listed as a back-up feature in this book. I guess we'll have to wait and find out what his future holds. I liked this issue. I think this is a very under-rated book. I think if more people would give it a shot, they'd find out that it's not what they'd expect.
