Titans #20 - DC

This issue finally puts Donna in the position where she's at least starting to think about creating a life of her own . . at last. She's been so preoccupied with the Titans . . her team-mates, her friends, her family . . that she's really ended up living her life around them. When she does get a chance to do something, she worries about who she's letting down by not being there for them. So she decides to take a chance. She gets a call from someone asking for Donna Prince, her short-lived civilian identity, offering her a photography job. Anyways, long story short . . the job is in Miami Florida and it ends up being a set-up by the Fearsome Five . . the new Fearsome Five. By the way, this story takes place before Blackest Night. Anyways, apparently someone has hired Shimmer, and her gang, to take out the Titans. So she figured she'd separate them and get them one at a time. Unfortunately . . she decided to start with Donna. Donna makes pretty short work of them and has them all hauled off to Belle Reve. But in the process of all this she meets someone . . Tom. He's also working the party and they have a few conversations during the course of it all. When it's all over and she realizes that he's made the connection between Donna, in the red dress, and Wonder Girl . . and he still wants to talk to her, she decides that maybe it's time that she indulged a bit and got to know someone outside of the Titans. And with that . . she's decided to buy a condo on the beaches of Miami. I liked this issue. It was a nice change of pace from all the doom and gloom of the Blackest Night and all of it's cross-overs. Mike Johnson writes it, and Sergio Arino does the art. The whole book had a really 'lite' kind of laid-back feel to it. Yeah Donna got in a fight with the Fearsome Five, but . . they weren't really fighting about anything earth-shattering. At least that they know of. And we got to focus on Donna for an issue. In my book . . the hottest Teen Titan. Although, I'm sure she's not a 'Teen' any more. Overall, it was an enjoyable issue.
