Well . . the kids are finally fighting . . together, as a team. But then . . they sort of had to. They had to come together to save Cassie from Shimmer, Mammoth and Jinx over on Alcatraz. The problem is . . we don't really know what this group is up to yet because they're being led, and manipulated, by the Calculator. He's still pissed at the Titans for letting his daughter, Wendy, get hurt. Also, this issue, and last, has started out with the scene of a burial. We don't know who dies yet, but the casket has a Teen Titans symbol on it. The only people we can rule out right now is Cassie and M'gann. Other than that, any of the group is up for grabs. Anyways, we have a few problems going on right now. First, and foremost, the team does make it to Alcatraz, to get Cassie, but not before Shimmer and her team make an escape. Luckily Traci 13's spell, to penetrate Jinx's energy field, disrupts her enough that she can only teleport them across the bay to the pier. They'll be easy enough to find, but they've got their other 2 members there with them. They are now the new Fearsome Five, and with Shimmer, Mammoth and Jinx comes Nano and Rumble. The other problem is, on their way out, Shimmer killed all the rest of the inmates with Mustard Gas. And Mammoth, who wanted to kill Geiger, stuck him with an iron rod which has turned him into a human atomic bomb. Unfortunately no one knows this yet except for Eddie who's picked up the radiation on the Towers monitors. And someone is after Kid Eternity. All in all I thought it was a decent story. I thought it was funny when, in Cassie's absence, they're trying to decide who the leader should be. They default to Jaime because . ."Why shouldn't it be you who makes the call, Jaime? You've got all the spaceman tech built in. None of the rest of us has that." So far, I think Bryan Q Miller is doing a pretty decent job. I also enjoyed Joe Bennett's pencils. In the backup, Rose finds out that she's going to have to lay off the Ephedrine, or else it could kill her. Also, the town she's stuck in, in the Northwest Territory of Canada, seems a little . . odd. They seem to come to her aid, medical and room and board, but in the end we find out that someone has set her up, by putting her in a cabin way on the outskirts of town, and plans on killing her while she sleeps. Her story just keeps going from bad to worse. This chapter was brought to us by Sean McKeever and Yildiray Cinar. I liked this issue. If the last 2 are any indication, it appears that Bryan may have these guys back on track pretty soon.
