I'm fairly certain he's described as a military man, if not a marine specifically, in the first season. I think the Metamorpho episode was in the first season, and Metamorpho was supposed to be an old war buddy of John's.

Like Corp & Darth have said, BLUE BEETLE has remained mostly separated from the DC's events. It has tie-in's but they are self contained. The only quibble may be the beginning, as Jamie technically debuted in INFINITE CRISIS, not BLUE BEETLE, which recaps his story and embellishes the origin. I'm pretty certain you could read it and get all you need to know. The first trade deals heavily with his origin, after all. I hardly collect many DC titles either, and I completely enjoy the book.

I almost never dive headfirst into new books out of fear of not knowing the continuity. I recommend this. That says somethin'.

Just ordered these (and a few other things) from Amazon. Thanks in advance to you three and the recommends I keep hearing from others. If it gets me to start buying it as an ongoing, I hate all of you.

You'll love to hate us.

What else did you get?

Wat was the reason behind Rogers' departure from the book, anyway?

 

[Darthphere]

He has some other projects in the work.

Non-comics. Some books on Warren Buffet........so someday I can actually afford these things.....

Huh. Still, I wonder why he'd leave BB. I can't imagine it's anything but a blast to write.

I don't know, after reading #25 I can see why he would take a break. How do you top that? Really? Either way, he'll be back, it's just a matter of when.

That's what I said when BKV left Runaways.

Except Rogers himself said he would eventually come back.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Rogers said the initial plan was that he and Giffen had worked out the origin story through #25, and then he would take a break. He's not sure when he'll come back, but he says he'll definitely come back at some point. I'm cautiously optimistic that he will.

 

[Egotastic]

I doubt he will. Plans change all the time.
