“Superhero collections in need of more diversity or a new title to change up and charge the collection a bit will find this a worthy addition. There is a lot of fodder for discussion. Hopefully, we’ll see more of the Blue Beetle around.”

This Land Is Our Land is the graphic novel people should be reading right now. Heartwarming, thought-provoking, and with an ending that will leave you wanting more…
—Andrew Aydin, award-winning writer of March and the Truth & Justice series
 
This Land Is Our Land is a deft reimagining of the origin of Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle, not to mention a love letter to the people of El Paso. Anta’s nimble script hits the bullseye with today’s delicate border politics, and Salcedo’s visual storytelling is nuanced and remarkable. What an enjoyable, teachable read!
Cully Hamner, award-winning co-creator of Jaime Reyes, RED, and Ruby Actual
 
Touching, current, thrilling, and funny–it’s got everything you could possibly want in a graphic novel, all delivered at a stunningly crisp pace.
–Chris Condon, writer of That Texas Blood and The Enfield Gang Massacre
 
THIS LAND IS OUR LAND is a masterful superhero tale that shows the power of the genre – and its ability to reflect the world we live in, while also blending the bombast and wonder of comic books. The acclaimed team of Anta and Salcedo are in complete lockstep, two pros at the top of their game, redefining Jaime Reyes and the Blue Beetle for a new generation. Heartfelt and evocative, THIS LAND IS OUR LAND inspires as much as it entertains – which is no easy feat.
–Alex Segura, acclaimed and bestselling author of Secret Identity, Alter Ego, and The Question: All Along the Watchtower
 
“The magic that comes from Julio and Jacoby’s teamwork knows no bounds; They once again crafted a poignant and heartfelt story, giving Jaime Reyes a new voice in this gripping Blue Beetle story.”
–Sweeney Boo, creator of Over My Dead Body and acclaimed artist of Harley Quinn
 
This Land Is Our Land is a heartfelt and compelling take on the Blue Beetle mythos. It confronts very real issues in a remarkable way, educating but never talking down to its readers. Soulful, smart, and relatable, Jaime Reyes is exactly the hero that we need right now.
–Josh Trujillo, writer of Blue Beetle: Graduation Day
 
“Anta and Salcedo are back, and they deliver an instant classic. ‘This Land Is Our Land’ is as relevant as it will prove to be timeless. I will give my children this book when they’re old enough.”
— Spencer Ackerman, Pulitzer Prize and National Magazine Award-winning reporter and author of “Reign of Terror” and IRON MAN
