It's quite a fun, simple but exciting title. Jaime's a great character and there's some good stuff coming out of it from his making it up as he goes along and how he interacts with the other DC characters and is generally out of his depth.
Like when he meets Guy Gardner for the second time and retaliates for Guy attacking him the first.

Or when Eclipso takes control of him and his best friend has to step up to stop a baby from being the new host to it.


And a recent appearance in the great Brave and Bold.

Sorry Stu - I never saw this thread.

I saw his appearences in B+B. But other than that I haven't read anything with him in it.

It's gotten better since then. He's found out what the Scarab really is and it's brought his major enemy into the plot, while his supporting cast have developped a little (his "Beetle Cave" is just an online site where some hacker guys give him info about what's going, his parents know all about his double life and they're pretty cool about it, his friends too.)
There was a really nicely done issue which flashed back to Infinite Crisis and what he was up to during the attack on Brother Eye (Green Arrow and Black Canary were keeping him alive from attacking OMACs), a story arc about him being whisked off to a New Gods planet to save his friend, meeting Metron.
He's met Guy Gardner twice, teaming up the second time and getting some Ted Kord material from him so he can start "acting like the Blue Beetle".
And in the Eclipso story above, he's got involved with Traci 13, who has been sorta retconned into being the foster daughter of Ralph and Sue Dibny.
