Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes Appriciation Thread

[Liquid]

Can we have an appriciation thread for Jaime? He's probably my favorite "legacy" character other than Wally West. I just read his solo series up to 29 and what really struck me was the relations with sidecharacters, like Paco or Peacemaker. The book has a lot of heart, which isn't always found in cape comics. I really like how Jaime is a minority, but it doesn't feel like pandering or forced. The scarab just happened to land in El Paso


So, thoughts?

Rules
------
1) No negative comments about the honoree of this thread. It's an appreciation thread, not a non-appreciation one.

2) No negative discussion about any competitors of the honoree of this thread (i.e. John Stewart in the Hal Jordan thread). No ifs, ands, or buts. Find another non-appreciation thread to do that, just not here.

3) No negative comments about other versions of the character. For example, if you like the DCU version of Jaime, but hate the DCAU version (or visa versa), just appreciate the earlier version and keep your comments about the latter to yourself.

Pretty sure there's already a Jaime thread.

I only found a Ted BB thread.

My bad, I was talking about the general blue beetle thread.

Jaime is one of my favorite characters. Well actaully Giffen and Rogers' Jaime Reyes was one of my favorite characters. He was witty and self deprecating. Very much a Giffen character. Not a fan of Bedard's terrible run or the fact that they made cartoon Jaime on Young Justice speak like a 1980s Mexican stereotype. "Ay dios mio hermano!" Sigh.

I really hope DC doesn't keep him shelved for long. He may not be able to carry his own solo title but he's too awesome of a character not to at least be in a team book.
