This issue helps us get a little more of the story about how the team got together. Not a whole lot. But . . a bit. It appears that all of their mentors are a little wacky right now. And with no one else to turn to . . they turn to each other. They even make reference to their actual first meeting . . they fought together against Mr Twister in Brave and the Bold #54. That was a nice touch. I like the spin they put on Garth, how young and inexperienced he was. Actually a very fragile, claustrophobic, and neurotic kid. It's a testament of their friendship that he actually ever made it any farther than this. But by the end of the issue, they've got the whole team together, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Speedy and Wonder Girl. But you can tell by the guys eyes, that when Wonder Girl shows up . . things are changing already. Amy Wolfram seems to be doing a nice job of gradually bringing these kids together. For those not acclimated with Titans history, it introduces the characters very well. I also really enjoy the style of art they're doing on this book. It's by Karl Kerschl, Serge LaPointe and Steph Peru. Pencils, inks, colors . . all around, it looks really sharp. So with this issue, they've brought the team together. My guess is next issue, we're going to find out what the obstacles are they're going to have to overcome. So far . . I think this is a fantastic series. I think it's actually on of the best Year 1 titles yet. I just hope they keep up the quality.
