Titans Special #1 introduced readers to a new team with a new mission; this month their trials begin with the action-packed Titans #23! If only they had a catchier battle-cry... Because the focus of the issue is on the mission at hand, not every character gets time to shine (e.g. Nightwing is just the one-note Leader)…

It's a new dawn for the Titans and though I'm not really sure what was wrong with the old team, I can't help but be excited by the fresh start presented in Titans Special #1. Apart from that pesky business with the Source Wall and the Omega Titans, the main upshot of the recent No…

Annual #2 is the last issue in the current run of Titans before the team join in with the events of No Justice and then get a semi-reboot in Titans Special #1 in June. As Dan Abnett was given 36 pages to tie things up, I expected quite a lot to be packed into this…

Dan Abnett has reminded us over the course of the previous few issues why we should care about certain core members of the Titans (while a few less-important characters have been left by the wayside). Now their time for wallowing is over; it's time for action! If you love the Titans but somehow hate their…

First Roy took on Intergang on his own and now he’s even more out of his depth! Going up against Monsieur Mallah, the Brain and Cheshire sounds like a job for the Titans but trying to get the band back together could prove to be a tall order in this month’s Titans #21… Off the…

Last issue, the Justice League disbanded the Titans and Roy decided to take on Intergang all on his own. We left Roy under heavy fire in issue #19 so it’s a bit jarring to find him relatively unscathed at the beginning of issue #20 (that armour must be really good). Anyway, he’s still in a…

Last issue, the Titans abruptly vanquished Psimon, Mr Twister and the Key, broke the spell controlling Gnarrk and Mal, and Donna Troy somehow punched Troia back to the future.  Time for a breather, then. Last issue promised ‘Next: Titans vs. Justice League’ which is kind of what you get in Titans #19 if what you…

Wally West is dead! Evil Donna Troy from the future has arrived! The Titans are all but defeated! Will they be able to turn things around? Find out in Titans #18- the final chapter of the arc, The Fall of Troy. DC removed the Rebirth banner from the cover, but these past few issues have…

  Yet again, Dan Abnett proves that Titans is not only the best hero, team book being published by DC at the moment, but also one of the most entertaining!   Something needs be said about properly planning a narrative. Take one look at Titans, and it’s clear that Abnett has plans set to run…

  I can’t tell you how happy I am to move past “The Lazarus Contract.” Nothing worthwhile really came from the story, aside from a few transitions that were randomly included at the end. Thankfully, Abnett uses Titans #12 to remind readers of the (much better) storylines he’d initiated prior to “The Lazarus Contract.”  …

  When you launch a crossover involving the Titans/ Teen Titans and Deathstroke, and you title it “The Lazarus Contract” (a clear pull from the incredible “The Judas Contract”), you’re automatically giving yourself some extremely large shoes to fill. Rather than just needing to be good, “The Lazarus Contract” has to face, and ultimately live…

  In the finale of “Made In Manhattan,” Abnett teases a nostalgic future, and brings a much needed jolt of energy to the arc!   It took a few months before Titans found its footing, but since that moment, this book has been one of my favorite titles to read. This arc has been a little slow though,…

  Titans is quickly becoming one of my favorite titles to read! I won’t go so far to say that it’s the best, but it is one of the more enjoyable books I read. Much like Green Arrow, there’s a positivity to this title that is infectious, and that fact that Abnett has stepped up…

  Like most of the titles I’m reviewing this week, Titans is in a short transition phase as it leaves one arc to begin another. Honestly, anything is better than a self-loathing Wally and Abra Kadabra though!   Following the Abra Kadabra arc, and the incredible one-shot with Wally and Superman, Abnett decides to follow…

“This reminds me of the old days.” That single line describes this issue better than anything I can possibly pull together. Titans #7 is head shoulders above any other issue in this series to date. If this is a sign of what’s to come, then we are all in for a wonderful treat!   The…

Titans #5 was the first issue that I actually enjoyed from this title. There have been moments that were nice, but ultimately there were many more moments that I found grating, heavy handed, uninspired, etc. Thankfully, this issue continues where the last chapter left off in terms of quality. In fact, I’d say it manages…

I’ll be the first one to admit that Titans is not a title I get excited to read. So far, Abnett has delivered a less-than-stellar story, and it only makes it worse when you compare this title to the Rebirth special that preceded it – and even more so considering Wally is the focus of…

Kadabra's got Linda! After working up the nerve to approach his soulmate for the second time since his return, Wally West could only watch as the vain magician snatched her from his grasp. With Linda's life on the line, will the fastest man alive be fast enough? Like a summer popcorn flick The rest of…

We are three issues into Titans, and every issue has left me feeling frustrated. Yet again, I find myself struggling to find the best way to express my opinion with this title because it isn't terrible, but it is far from great. Whenever a book falls on either side of the quality spectrum, it is…

Wally West is back with the Titans, and they’re ready to battle… themselves? In this week’s Upcoming Comics post, I expressed disappointment with the first issue of Titans. While I loved Rebirth and Titans: Rebirth, the debut issue of Titans left me unmotivated and unsure about the future of this title. To be frank, it…
