First of all I want to say that Joe Bennett's art is fantastic. I'm not sure what he did different this issue . . maybe it's his inkers, I'm not sure . . but whatever they did, it looks great. I'm also really diggin' how Sean McKeever is rolling out this story-line. Last issue ended with the Teen Titans aiming their T-Wing straight at the Titans, in New York City. It looked really bad, but . . common sense prevailed and together both teams pull themselves out of this mess. They still crash the T-Wing, but luckily it's in the river. Joey makes an appearance, kind of, as he takes over Raven so he can talk to Rose. Oh yeah, she was stowed away on the T-Wing because she wanted to be there if the Titans tried to take out her brother. Also, because she precognitive and she foresaw Vigilante trying to kill her Joey. When Vigilante rears his head, Rose is ready to take it off. But again the Titans talk her down, and it looks like this is where the team-up actually begins. The stage is set. Joey's got all of the preparations accounted for, and on the final page he makes an appearance, in some rich guy's body at the Hamilton Grande at Central Park. It's the D'Olivia grand opening. And as he comes walking through the door in a 007 type tux, he says . . "This is a party to die for. As all of you are about to find out." It was good to see Rose back in the action again this issue. I think she's a terrific character. And she definitely adds something to the team. If nothing else, maybe she can keep Bombshell in check. Honestly, not a lot happened this issue. A couple fights, and the understanding between the Titans and Vigilante. But other than that, there was just a lot of character development. Which . . is ok. With all these new people on the team, and the 2 teams teaming up . . kind of . . it was a necessary component. Also there were some really touching moments between Gar and Vic. Vic is in some trouble and is barely hanging on, and Gar . . Gar's worried about losing his best friend. I believe there's 2 chapters left in this story-arc, so . . anything can still happen.
