Courtesy of DC Comics, here's an exclusive first look at next Wednesday's issue of the teen superhero series Blue Beetle.
In this sneak peek, high schooler Jaime Reyes has become the unwitting host for a powerful (and unexpectedly sassy) alien artifact. In addition to preventing Jaime from telling his parents the truth about his powers, the scarab has no patience for bullies. This why you must always have "the talk" with your kids about the dangers of extraterrestrial doodads.
This issue hits stands Wednesday, December 21. Here's the plot synopsis:
