Blue Beetle Gets A New Armor Ahead Of DCU Debut

In "Blue Beetle: Graduation Day" by Josh Trujillo, Adrian Gutierrez, Wil Quintana, and Lucas Gattoni from DC Comics, Jaime Reyes has been forced to deal with two new Beetles, as the Yellow Beetle and Green Beetle have emerged on Earth. Dynastes is the Yellow Beetle, an anti-Reach hero from the Horizon who has hunted Blue Beetle, believing his scarab is too dangerous and needs to be shut down permanently. Meanwhile, another Horizon hero, Green Beetle, has entered the mix, also trying to take Reyes down — showing off incredible shapeshifting powers of her own.

"Blue Beetle: Graduation Day" #5 features an alliance between Blue Beetle, Green Beetle, and Yellow Beetle, as the armored heroes realize they are all trying to protect Earth. The Horizon Beetles deduce Reyes isn't using his scarab for evil and isn't part of the Reach, which stops the battle between them. However, their team-up is interrupted by the Justice League, who don't trust the new Beetles, believing their motivations are evil. When Cyborg tries to overload the Yellow Beetle with a powerful blast from his energy canon, Blue Beetle steps in front of the attack, leading him to have visions and transform into something new.
