Really? DC Comics has announced issues #2 and #3 have sold out and will be heading back to the printer for a second run. “I’m both slightly stunned and incredibly gratified at the fan response to FREDDY VS.

Wonder how Gail Simone feels…
This issue proves why you should be reading Blue Beetle. I think too many readers dismissed Jamie Reyes when he first appeared as just another Ted Kord wanna-be, but issue #23 proves he has what it takes to be a hero.
