Jump to: New 52 – Rebirth

New 52

At the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe was reset. In this new continuity, Jamie Reyes was reintroduced as the Blue Beetle with a completely new history. His DC Comics appearances were mostly contained within the Blue Beetle series, besides a few cameo appearance in other comics

Blue Beetle issues are from the Vol. 9 series
Justice League International issues are from the Vol. 3 series

Notes

1. Blue Beetle's appearances in this series are minimal and mostly end up being cameos. They are also not very important to Jamie's story.

Rebirth

Though most characters were unaffected by the transition into the Rebirth era, this transition appears to have retconned all of Blue Beetle's New 52 adventures. At the beginning of this era, he is reintroduced with a completely new history and no mention of his New 52 adventures. His actions in this era are mostly confined to his solo series, where he is mentored by former Blue Beetle, Ted Kord (Reading Order).

Blue Beetle issues are from the Vol. 10 series

Notes

1. The events of this issue related to Blue Beetle are rather minor and are covered better in the Blue Beetle series.
