Teen Titans #18 Requiem

Teen Titans #18 Requiem was a good story.  Red Robin had some issues to work through with imaginary dead Robin (Damian Wayne) this was a good little story with a nice pep talk from Alfred.  But then we move onto the main Teen Titan story or as I call it “Let’s see how many supers we can cram onto a page.” Seriously Superboy flies to the Titan yacht and by the pool are Bunker, Kid Flash, Solstice, Wonder Girl and Red Robin.  Then Red Robin takes the team on a mission to save a young lady from evil.  This entails attacking Belle Reve Prison home of the Suicide Squad Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Shark commanded by Amanda Waller.  There ensues a quick fight with some clever dialog, but all this is just a distraction so that Red Robin can cut a deal with Waller which is kept a secret for the moment from both the reader and the two super teams.  We then cut to New York and Trigon!  I might have to hunt down the next issue afterall.

Teen Titans - Death of the Family!

Teen Titans #16 Death of the Family!  Yeah this was another issue of blah blah blah filler.  At the very least I was hoping for something interesting.  But instead we hear the self monolog while the two Robins fight.  Then oh surprise they were just trying to trick the Joker.   Only to be foiled in the end by the Joker.  I’m not even sure why the flash back to the other Titans or Raven.  I’m just glad to know this will be over soon once I am caught up
