BONUS REVIEW by SHANNA BERRY
Could this be the end for Blue Beetle? Max Lord has been on a rampage, after tricking Magog into attacking Captain Atom, only to perish in battle right after realizing he has been duped; Fire is practically incapacitated due to a gunshot wound, and now Blue Beetle is captured by Max. What does that guy have against Blue Beetles?! The UN has finally caught on to the fact that Checkmate has been running covert operations off the grid, but this is just the beginning. Next issue: Powergirl vs Captain Atom!!
