Blue Beetle

He already is.

The failures of his recent ongoings are that they mostly haven't done a good job at just reestablishing the status quo from his 2006 run and haven't really moved forward from poorly rehashing things, but Jaime is a fine character. Not sure why you think he's uninteresting.

Make him lay eggs inside villains as punishment.

Decide once and for all whether the scarab is alien or magic

Whatever is decided, stick with for at least 30 years

???
I thought it was always alien? Is this some retarded shit like the Spider Totem that only happened once and everyone ignores?

Originally magic. Then alien. Then magic-alien

why the hell is he still in high school with the same 1-dimensional group of teen friends? and why can't they afford a good artist for his book?

>>94555106
"no".

His friends were good in the 2006 run

But Giffen is fucking up and making them so goddamn obnoxious and hateful

I want to enjoy the current run so much. I like Jamie, and Ted is one of my favorite fictional characters, but it's so...meh. Not even bad exactly, just forgettably mediocre.

They need to follow up on the status quo from 2006 run, not rehash it. Move him up a few grades. Like how back in the 80s and 90s, comic characters used to age.

They already made him brown, so they're probably out of ideas.

>>94555937
You realize that Jamie was created over ten years ago, right?

>>94555270
The problem is he waited too long to bring in his collaborator

As soon as DeMatteis stepped in the book noticeably improved but now it's too late

I'm pretty sure the page that >>94555191 posted was from the latest issue and those two are still so poorly written

>>94554378
The first volume was really good, just do more of that.

He already is, his current ongoing may have issues but Jaime is not one of them, and his original run was great.

Have him go on space adventures so he can protect other planets from the reach invasion, green lantern style.

The thing that held Jaime's 2006 run together was the strong emphasis on his bonds with friends and family as a supportive network. We get almost none of that in the New 52 and Rebirth runs. Do they butt heads sometimes? Sure, but Jaime and his friends and family always pulled through and helped each other out in the end.

In Rebirth especially, you get this vibe that everyone just hates each other's guts. 95% of the lines out of any given character's mouth are insults and snark, particularly between Kord/Jaime and Brenda/Paco. The latter is especially off-putting because every time we see them, they're fighting. Not playful bickering and pushing each other's buttons like we're familiar with, but arguing and fighting. We get the impression that they aren't actually friends and it's a wonder why they keep interacting. Even Jaime doesn't come off as liking either of them very much.
