Terror Titans #2 - DC


So far, I'm thrilled with what Sean McKeever and Joe Bennett are doing with this series. I really think that the only reason the Ravager is involved with these Terror Titans, is to find out what they're up to, and to get some payback for what they did to Kid Devil. But, she doesn't really try to hide that. The Ravager and the Clock King are similar in that they both have precognitive abilities. I'm thinking that the Clock King is hoping that in due time, and some manipulating on his part, that Ravager will realize that she's better suited by his side than with the Titans. And I think she's using that hopeful optimism to remain in their ranks, even though the rest of them have no confusion as to why she's here. Sure she's a lot more ruthless and deliberate here, but . . she doesn't have the same restraints here as she would at the tower. I think that the reason she wants to fight in the ring so much is so that she can put down some of these other 'heroes' without killing them. Sure she may maim them, but . . at least they'll be alive to talk about it. If 2 of the drugged out heroes end up in the ring together . . they may end up killing each other. It also appears that the Clock King is trying to make an attempt at a coup. I believe he wants to take over and run the Dark Side Club. But for some reason, he always seems to be playing with, or goading his own team. He's always picking at the Persuader. Now he's got her and Dreadbolt out on, I think, a false lead looking for Red X. Isn't that the character that Robin played in that episode of Teen Titans Go!? They never do find him, but instead Dreadbolt comes across his father, Bolt. Although, Clock King wants Dreadbolt to claim his legacy by killing his father, so maybe this was his plan all along. Clock King's also got something suspicious going on with Copperhead. But I'm not sure where that's going yet. So far I think this is a great series. I don't think, however, that we know everything that's going on here yet. We have a few issues to go yet, so . . we'll see.
