Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in several comic books published by DC Comics. The character first appears in ''Infinite Crisis'' #3 (Feb. 2006). He was created by writers Keith Giffen and John Rogers, along with artist Cully Hamner.〔Irving, Christopher. ''Blue Beetle Companion: His Many Lives from 1939 to Today''. Raleigh: TwoMorrows Publishing, 2007. ISBN 1-893905-70-5〕 Jaime Reyes is the third character to assume the mantle of Blue Beetle, but he is substantially different from his predecessors. Introduced in 1939, the original Blue Beetle, Dan Garret, was a Fox Comics police officer who fought crime with superpowers gained by ingesting ''Vitamin 2X''. A revamped version of this character, archaeologist Dan Garrett, introduced in 1964 by Charlton Comics drew mystical abilities from an ancient Egyptian scarab. Published by Charlton Comics and later DC, 1966 creation Ted Kord was Garrett's student who continued his legacy of costumed crime-fighting, although he had no superpowers. DC's introduction of Jaime Reyes in 2006 retconned and expanded upon the Blue Beetle mythos. Revealed to be alien in origin, the scarab bonds with Reyes and provides him with a suit of extraterrestrial armor shortly after Kord's death. Though only a teenager, Reyes quickly forms a working relationship with Kord's former teammate and best friend Booster Gold and is inducted into the Teen Titans. Blue Beetle's most recent incarnation, Reyes is also the most well-represented Blue Beetle in adaptations, appearing in both animated and live action forms in ''Batman: The Brave and the Bold'', ''Young Justice'' and ''Smallville''. ==Publication history== In ''Infinite Crisis'' #5 (March 2006), Reyes became Blue Beetle's third incarnation. His own monthly series debuted two months later with ''Blue Beetle'' (vol. 8) #1 (May 2006); it was initially written by Keith Giffen and John Rogers,〔(Keith Giffen Talks the new Blue Beetle ), Newsarama,〕 with artist Cully Hamner.〔(Who's That Bug? Hamner on Blue Beetle ) (cached), Newsarama, December 17, 2005〕 Giffen left before issue #10 and Rogers took over full writing duties, joined by new artist Rafael Albuquerque.〔(Giffen Ready to Give Blue Beetle's Reins to Rogers/Albuquerque ), Newsarama, November 3, 2006〕 Rogers left in issue #25 to concentrate on his television series ''Leverage''.〔(John Rogers: A Bye-Bye To Blue Beetle ), Newsarama, March 4, 2008〕 After a couple of fill-in issues, Matt Sturges became the main writer in issue #29〔(Talking Blue Beetle with Matt Sturges ), Newsarama, August 13, 2008〕 but the series was canceled with last issue #36 in February 2009.〔(Hail and Farewell: Sturges on Blue Beetle's End ), Newsarama, November 14, 2008〕 Editor Dan DiDio put the cancellation down to poor sales and said that ''Blue Beetle'' was "a book that we started with very high expectations, but it lost its audience along the way."〔(Dan DiDio: 20 Answers, 1 Question ), Newsarama, November 12, 2008〕 On March 12, 2009, DiDio announced that the character would return in June 2009 as a "co-feature" of the more popular ''Booster Gold'' comic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jaime Reyes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
