The first story arc of DC Comics’ new “Blue Beetle” comic book series, set to hit comic shops in September, will be titled “Scarab War” and will reunite Trujillo with artists Gutiérrez, Quintana, and Gattoni.

Jaime Reyes has graduated, but his new life in Palmera City as the Blue Beetle has only just begun! With two new beetles to train in Dynastes and Nitida, Jaime has his hands full navigating being a leader. Thankfully, he has Paco and Brenda by his side as they settle in at Palmera State University.

Jaime Reyes has a lot to juggle. Whether it’s his senior year finals or a new villain tearing up El Paso, Jaime is always torn between two worlds. But when those worlds collide at his high school graduation, nothing will ever be the same.

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 the 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 his super-heroing bring the full might of the Justice League down on him?
