Publication History
In Infinite Crisis #5 (March 2006), Jaime Reyes became the third incarnation of the superhero Blue Beetle. His own monthly series debuted a month later with Blue Beetle (vol. 8) #1 (May 2006); it was initially written by Keith Giffen and John Rogers, with artist Cully Hamner. Giffen left in issue #10 and Rogers took over full writing duties, joined by new artist Rafael Albuquerque. Rogers left the title in issue #25 to concentrate on his television series Leverage.
After a couple of fill-in issues, Matt Sturges became the main writer in issue #29 but the series was canceled with the last issue scheduled to be #36 in February 2009. 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."
On March 12, 2009, DiDio announced that the character would be brought back to print in June 2009 as a "co-feature" of the more popular Booster Gold comic.
