Written by John Rogers Art and cover by Rafael Albuquerque

The Blue Beetle’s family and friends are targeted by an all-out supervillain assault — so why is he abandoning them in their darkest hour and leaving Earth?

"Jaime Reyes’ battle against the Reach aliens reaches (ugh, sorry, sorry) its final stages, as each side plans its planny plans, which are confusing and long-winded. But surprisingly, in a good way, which I didn’t know was possible. Still, it’s a remarkably talky issue, but that’s only because it’s the first of a two-part blow-off to this Reach business. So this month, you only get a well-written story that’s well-drawn to boot. I know, cry me a river, right?"
