This book is different, but . . I have to say . . I like it. Marv Wolfman's been connected to the Teen Titans for quite a while now, and this story . . is like nothing he's ever written before. Who knew he had it in him to chronicle the lives of a group of teen-age high-school girls? Do you remember Damion Scott? He did the art on the short-lived Batgirl series. Anyways, he does the art in this series. I remember now why I liked him so much on Batgirl. He's got his own unique style, and, in this series, he gives that a bit of a psychedelic edge. I really, really like it. The story revolves around this doctor that's trying to bring his daughter out of a coma, using some cutting edge theories. He starts out trying to bring her out with sound waves . . specifically, Infrasound. He has some success, but it isn't complete. So now he decided to use emotion. How do you use emotion on someone who's in a coma? Well, you obtain Psycho-Pirates mask, also known as the Medusa Mask, and try to direct it's energies. Yeah! Good luck with that. There's a reason that the Psycho-Pirate went insane. Anyways, this doctor's lab, or institute, is located not very far from the new High-School that Raven is going to now. Actually, Rachel is her new secret identity. We all know that Raven's powers are emotional based, so the spill-over from the doctor's attempt are literally driving her insane. Also because she has no idea where it's coming from, she has to assume the worst . . . Trigon's trying to reassert himself. And, things are about to get worse. During one of the doctor's tests, there was a huge spill-over in to the school. A whole group of kids started acting really strange. So now . . the doctor wants to use students to experiment on. This doesn't bode well. I thought this was a fantastic book. I can't wait to see how it all plays out. Plus, there's a Cyborg mini-series coming out also.
