If you haven't read the books and are trying to keep up/read from just what's been posted here, you're missing so much. Like jlbarnett said, there's so much in these books that some panels have more going on than many books have in 2-page spreads.
I loved this arc so much, and it has so many awesome quotes and actions, but still, by far, my favorite is Paco's "I'm Paco, And I am going to hit you with this stick until you get the #$%$ off my planet."
The whole mechanic with Guy is even more interesting if you'd been reading the series and know his earlier reactions around Jaime.
The cancellation of this book was a crime, and the last, very rushed feeling issue was disappointing in that they felt they had to make someone into the Black Beetle before it ended. I would have rather seen it end well, and then just have the Black Beetle as some mystery character that no one knows.
Final note: I don't get at all the new hostility of the Scarab in TT. If it ends up removing the final layer of awesome that is Jaime Reyes, DC will have done itself a massive discredit.
