Teen Titans #48 - DC


Ok. We're not with our regular creative team . . . yet. But . . . I think that these guys did a great job. Adam Beechen does the story. He's been coming on really strong in the last couple of months. His stories have been getting stronger. Which shows . . . because he's been getting a lot more work. Al Barrionuevo is just spectacular. I thought he was great in the Legends of the Dark Knight title. But then he did the Martian Manhunter, and . . . man . . . he just blew me away. So yes, I'm a big fan of his. Anyways, these guys are handling the Amazons Attack storyline for this book. And it just happens to be the final story-arc before our new creative team takes over in issue #51. I'm not sure who they're going to be yet, but . . . . you know what? Let me go check. And I'll be right . . . . . . . . . back . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I'm sorry. It's just that I don't like to not have answers. Anyways, it's going to be Sean McKeever and Ale Garza. That should be a pretty good team-up. But we won't find out until after the big blowout #50 issue. That looks to be a good one. So this issue . . . deals mostly with Supergirl and Wonder Girl. It seems the US has a determent camp where they're putting people that they think are associated with the Amazons. Obviously . . . Cassie's mom has been put in the camp. But as the two girls are, not so eloquently, negotiated with the guards, the rest of the Titans show up. They've arrived because they need to try to defuse the situation. Cassie's pretty upset, because of the situation with her mom. And we all know Kara's not one to walk away from any fight. Cassie's mom ends up being the voice of reason. Cassie thinks she's been hurt, so she calms down enough to listen to her. With her guard down, her mom's able to talk her down. But not in to giving herself up. After they hug and kiss, her and Kara take off. Then the guards decide to arrest the Titans. Cassie and Kara have gone off to talk to Hippolyta. She's talked them in to taking on a mission for her. But she's done it in a way that it looks like it was their own idea. They are going to get the President so that he and Hippolyta can talk. Rrrightt. Like that's going to happen. Looks like the Titans are about to be in the middle of another crap-storm. But with Barrionuevo doing the art . . . they're going to look pretty doing it.
