Villans doing what they do best
Let me start by saying that Slade Wilson is one of my favorite villains. He is a Titan of a Villain to me! Keeping the title was not explained but the explanation will be coming. Eric Wallace on writing duties and his cohort Fabrizio Fiorentino (with help from other artists) start their run on the Titans here!
He has put together a team. Which the explanation of the team coming together is handled through flashbacks. The art chores on these flashbacks being handled be different artists. This is a good way to use artists to help out completing a book. To me it makes the differing styles work.
I like the team and I like the premise but I was a bit unhappy about who they went after and killed yes killed in this the opening issue. It works as a way of reducing the number of a redundant character. But given a universe that can sustain multiple Flashes they really didn't have to end this characters life. That aside Eric Wallace is a strong writer and Fiorentino's art is beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing where this story and series go with these two at the helm.
Do you think they should have started a new series with a new title? Or does this work?
I recommend this issue as a good starting point for following this group of Villains for Hire
