Teen Titans #2

djotaku's Teen Titans #2 - Underground and Overwhelmed review

Bad Webbing on the Cover

This is not a bad issue, but that last one was so great so this one seems pale in comparison. Tim and Cassie are still together, but she's still not sure whether to trust him. We get some weird hints that maybe Cassie isn't as young as she looks. Then the main part of the story kicks in. The B story has Kid Flash in NOWHERE jail trying to get free.

It's a setup issue and it suffers a a bit for it. Really the only real problem I had with this issue is the way Lobdell writes her dialog and personality in this issue. It's not horrible, it just comes across as a little forced. Like there's no real reason why she's treating Tim this way, but needs to for the story. I'm anxious for the team to get together already so I can see how they all interact together - same feeling I have with the Justice League.

Buy it because I have a good feeling about this arc, but the issue itself is not as good as #1.

About the title I chose for this review: (warning - not for young eyes to read)

So I see the webbing on the cover and go tell my wife - "Lobdell blows up a mansion in Westchester last issue now we have everyone all caught in spider-webs - is this all a hilarious FU to Marvel?"

Her reply: "Looks like someone came all over the heroes"

So.....get on that DC artists....

Teen Titans #2 - Underground and Overwhelmed by delphic on October 27, 2011
Teen Titans #2 follows up directly after the last issue. Tim is still focused on getting a team together to fight against the agents of N.O.W.H.E.R.E and Cassie is still adamant about keeping out of it. We are also introduced to some new characters in this issue. The first of which is Skitter who is a half insectoid half human teenager that seems to be having trouble holding onto her humanity. The other is none other than Solstice who has undergone a serious cosmetic change. Though not as action...
