This issue was an improvement over the last, but still has some work left. I’ll start with the art. Benitez is a welcome replacement to Churchill. The cheesecake is still there, but not as prevalent as before. I don’t understand why Raven has the costume change in part of the issue, but other than that the cheesecake seemed to be toned down. He does a great Starfire and Beast Boy, but I’m not sure about Nightwing and Donna Troy.

The story is still setup, but now we know who the villains of this arc are. A welcome twist is added to what was expected here. The dialogue is hit or miss. I like Beast Boy, but some of the others seemed slightly little off. Overall this issue is an improvement, and hopefully the next will bring the story into full gear and wipe all my fears away.
