This story has been building for a couple of issues. We knew that a Titan was about to die . . we just didn't know who. As it turns out . . it was Eddie. Not a complete surprise there. It was kind of touching though how he stood up for his team, when no one else was there to handle it but him. Also it was ironic that a boy named Kid Devil died in a blaze of fire. Hmmm . . ironic? Or serendipity? Only the future will tell. Anyways, the rest of the team was fighting the new Fearsome Five. The Calculator has sicked them on the Titans because of what happened to his son and daughter . . Wendy and Marvin. Although the Titans don't know this yet. The Titans end up beating them rather soundly. Mostly due to the magical effort of Traci 13, and then the fury of Cassie after she realizes what's happened to Eddie. Later Aquagirl comes on to Jaime. We also see another decisive moment in the future of the team. After Eddie's funeral Cassie has decided to call it quits. She's tired of friends dying, and she doesn't know that she's fit for this role. However, Bombshell ends up talking her out of it. "Someone did this to us. Maybe it's time we started learning from our mistakes . . instead of running away from them." The next morning she gives the rest of the team a little speech . ."This isn't a right. It's a privilege. We aren't a club. We're a team. And Eddie knew that. We aren't children anymore. We're heroes. It's about time we started acting that way." The story ends with a view of the Calculator. He's got Kid Eternity as a hostage. Why? It appears he wants to spend a little time with Marvin.
I think Bryan Q Miller is going to be an excellent addition to this book. It seems like they've finally hit bottom, and are on their way to climbing back up. I also enjoyed Joe Bennett's art. In the back-up feature Ravager finds out the price for stumbling into some shady deals. When she stumbled into this bar, literally, she didn't realize that the guy she started talking to was a crime-boss, Will. She just thought he was a nice guy. But I guess he was talking to her to find out how much she knew, and if she, or the Titans, were interested in his operation. Whatever that may be. We still don't know what's going on, all we know is that he's willing to send everything he's got after her. She ends up in the bottom of a frozen lake. I'm sure she'll survive, but the bad guys think she's dead. It's an interesting story, and it's nice to see that she's actually trying to not be like her dad. Sean McKeever and Yildiray Cinar provide the talent. Overall I thought it was a decent issue. Like I said, it looks like we're heading in the right direction. We still don't see Bart or Connor yet. I wonder when they'll show up? On a completely different note, I noticed that at Mile High Comics they have the last 20 or so issues in this series listed at $1.25. That's good for anyone interested in getting them. But it's bad for people who already paid cover . . like me.
