I have to say . . and I hate to say it . . I wasn't overly thrilled with this issue. Last issue the Titans were attacked by something that looked like the Hyper-griffin that the Human Flame released from STAR Labs. But, if it was that same beast, I guess we'll never know. It was never really explained where it came from or it's purpose. All we know, or find out from this issue is that it's taken, or eaten, a few of M'gann's brain cells. And it appears to have been after Raven. The Titans fight it, or it's minions with everything they have, but they don't seem to be making much headway. However, Garth heads back into the tower when he thinks that the injured Raven may be in trouble. It turns out the fight outside was just a diversion so that they could get what they wanted inside . . Raven. Or more specifically, her soul-self. Garth takes on the beast, but really it's just a stalling tactic. It isn't until M'gann regains consciousness, and then uses her powers to awaken Raven that the tide of the battle is turned. Once awake her soul-self strikes out and hurts the beast forcing it to retreat to wherever it is that it calls home. And then it's gone. So most of the issue was spent in battle, but we don't really know who with or why. The only positive thing to come out of this issue is that the team address' Garth's attempt at obtaining the leadership position. It's explained to him in no uncertain terms that this team already has a leader . . Cassie. The issue ends with him and Cassie screaming at each other. However . . this conversation won't be continued until issue #79. Apparently the next 2 issue are going to be part of the Blackest Night. This story was written by Felicia D Henderson, with Yildiray Cinar on pencils. In the back-up story, Rose figures out that Will is actually Will Roades, ex-MI6. He was a double agent for England and Russia. Apparently now . . he's playing for himself. The story ends with him, having drugged Rose, beating the crap out of her because her response time is drastically reduced. But he doesn't want to kill her. He wants to turn her. I wonder how he's going to do that. This part is by Sean McKeever, with Yildiray again doing pencils. It was an ok book. But it was basically filler until the Blackest Night story jumps in next issue. And it showed. There were only a few panels of actual important content this issue. A whole lot of fluff.
