Teen Titans #49 - DC

Man I love this book. It just keeps getting better and better. Adam Beechen and Al Barrionuevo have filled in for these last couple of issue. It was the last story arc before the big blowout #50. That's when the new creative team take over. I know I mentioned it before, but it's going to be Sean McKeever and Ale' Garza. It should be an interesting launch. This issue, I think, we pretty much wrap up the Titan's involvement with the Amazon's Attack storyline. Last issue we left them at the determent camp about to be arrested by the Army. But the commander comes out with the voice of reason. She knows that trying to keep them her would just hurt their effort and their camp. " . . . our primary mission here is to contain and control these detainees. With our camp damaged, we can't do that here. I'm ordering a mass relocation." She puts all the women on a bullet-train, and they head to a new location. Of course the Titans follow because they want to make sure that Cassie's mom is safe. But along the way, Artemis and a couple of her soldiers catch sight of the Titans and attack them. Basically they want to know what happened to Cassie and Supergirl, and they think the Titans may have the answers. In the skirmish they also come to realize that the train is full of female hostages. Which further enrages them. In the battle 2 main things happen. One, the train is derailed and Miss Martian has to stop it so that none of the people are hurt. Two, in the ensuing confusion some of the women try to make a break for it and the Army answers by opening fire on them. Which, again, the Titans have to intervene and save them. Cassie and Supergirl have seen what happens and in response, she has forgiven them. She makes up with them, specifically Tim, actually makes out would be more appropriate, and it appears that she's now back on the team. The interesting thing about issue #50, is that a picture of the cover shows Blue Beetle. Is he joining the team also? Well we only have a couple of weeks to find out. Long live the Titans!
