Comment(s):
- The name of Jaime's father and Brenda are assumed to be the same in the new DC Universe, as are the secret identities of the villains.
- Paco's last name is revealed to have changed from "Ortiz" to "Testas" in issue #4.
- Jaime's mother is referred to as Blanca in issue #3, whereas it was Bianca in the old DC Universe. Whether this is a mistake or not has yet to be determined.

Solicitation:
- It's not easy being Jaime Reyes. He has to deal with high school, family and all the drama that comes with being a teenager. Also, he's linked to a powerful scarab created by an alien race known as the Reach who seeks to subjugate planets—or annihilate them!
