    Slowly Coming Together

    The Story: 

    Red Robin encounters Bunker and quickly teams up with him to overcome the challenge at hand. Kid Flash saves Solstice and runs to what he believes is the Pendact Circle.  

    My Thoughts:

    Teen Titans is a series that has surprised me. While this is only the third issue, I like the direction it's heading. Scott Lobdell has now introduced us to all the characters involved with the team. 

    While this issue didn't exactly progress the overall story a lot, it was still a lot of fun. Lobdell's intent was clear and concise as he wanted to introduce readers to the last member of the team. Bunker was a pretty cool character that should make a fine addition to the team. He reminds me of Kid Flash in a way. I look forward to seeing this team evolve. I know they're going to crash and burn along the way which should be a lot of fun. Out of the entire team, it looks as if Red Robin is the only hero that's truly disciplined. While each other member has talent and potential, their faults will be exploited which will no doubt create all kinds of havoc. That's what's going to make this series so much fun to read. I can't wait to see them all together and learn how to function as a team and better themselves. I really believe the series has a lot of potential. 

    The cover and interior artwork are by Brett Booth. He's one of my favorite artists. He has a style that's easy to distinguish from others and sets him apart from other artists. I can always tell something is by him just from the way he draws a characters face. I like what he has to bring to this series. Seeing him on an on-going series each month is a nice treat. His interiors have been incredible. I loved the first four pages with Kid Flash and Solstice. Pages two and three were very unique and impressive. I look forward to what he brings to the series in the future.

    Teen Titans is an underrated book that only gets better each issue. Next issue promises to finally have the entire team together to face off against Superboy. Should be thrilling. I'd recommend picking this up if you're into superhero teams. It's different then the other team books not he stands. 

    Rating: 4/5

      Synopsis: Introducing Bunker! What's Good? As Yakko and Wakko would put it, "Hello Nurse!" I'm really taking a liking to Miguel Barragan, aka. Bunker. Bunker is the Beast Boy of this series: he's fun, eccentric, expressive, and probably the most rational character that Tim has come across so far. His powers of psionic bricks is a nice set of powers that's different from powers I'm used to seeing. Meanwhile, I like the interaction with Kid Flash and Solstice as they try to escape a N.O.W.H.E.R.E ...

      I can't say that I didn't enjoy this issue, just this issue has a purpose and that is not necessarily to tell a good story but rather to get to a place where that good story can be told.  There are quite a few things going on here, from Bunker being introduced and later fighting Tim, to Cassie challenging one of her attackers from a previous issue, to Kid Flash and Solstice being on the run after escaping.  With all that is going on, it is not as though it gets confusing but more so that it gets...
