ISSUE REVIEW

Boosterrific Review: Blue Beetle suffers for being forced into this Millennium crossover that finds him fighting ridiculous villains and traveling as an American industrialist to fundamentalist Iran. Ross Andru's familiar art suffers under the inks Dan Bulanadi, detracting further from this rather lackluster issue. There's nothing much good here for Blue Beetle or his fans.

The Blue Beetle series ended with a whimper and not a bang and, sadly, this issue was pretty typical of the last issues.
