Blue Beetle Vol. 5 #1, Ted Kord, the second character to take on the mantle after Dan Garett's death, starts his first self-titled series from Charlton Comics by taking on a group of thieves who plan their heists near large bodies of water to escape in their own submarine. The comic has a smaller second story at the end that introduces The Question as he investigates and prevents a mob hit. Both stories are pretty fun and have very engaging stories, not surprising as both were written by the legendary Steve Ditko, though the first was cowritten with D.C. Glanzman. Ditko also provided the entirety of the artwork for the entire issue and no one can ever deny just how great the comic looks. The biggest credit to Ditko is how different and unique he handles the writing and art for the two stories, with the Blue Beetle being very fun and colorful much like the standard of superhero stories at the time, while Question's is darker and more serious to fit its noir detective style. Thanks to Steve Ditko,
Blue Beetle Vol. 5 #1 isn't just another start to a new volume or introduction to a new character, but also a pretty fun and engaging comic. Over all: 100%
