Jaime Reyes is the hero Blue Beetle, bonded to a sentient alien artifact
called a scarab that gives him high-tech armor. He's also a high school
senior about to graduate! When a message from alien civilization the
Reach bombards Jaime's scarab on graduation day, he's literally grounded
by the Justice League. And as if that weren't enough to worry about,
Jaime's parents and friends are pressuring him about his next steps in
life.
Jaime arrives in Palmera City to spend a gap year working in his tias'
restaurant, but he's got other things on his mind-- like who is the
mysterious new Yellow Beetle he saw on the news? How are they connected
to the Reach message that bombarded his scarab? And what's hidden here
on Earth that's drawing the Reach back?
Can Jaime find balance in his life and rise to become a true hero, or
will this super-heroing bring the full might of the Justice League down
on him?
