This is the first time the Teen Titans has ever been appealing to me, probably because of the inclusion of Damian Wayne on the team as Robin. It’s such a genius idea, and I’m glad that DC have finally taken a step in the right direction by trying to humanize the character from his current unlikeable state.

The interactions between the Titans in this issue are fantastic; their bickering and joking is perfect teen angst on the page, while their attitude towards Damian is expected, yet adds a fun layer of tension to every scene. The problem here is the story itself, which doesn’t really grab all that well; the initial premise established in the first issue of this arc was interesting, but here it just seems reduced to standard superhero fare.

The artwork is the best thing about this issue; an insanely gorgeous mixture of superhero action and accurate renderings of teenagers. It’s great to see Nicola Scott on a book, and this one serves her art perfectly.
