This issue is all about Virgil . . obviously, from the cover. He has to go back to Dakota because there's a virus going around town. That's normal this time of year. However, there's a couple of things fishy about this outbreak. First of all there's limited vaccinations available. Again, not something to be overly concerned about. But, there only seems to be one pharmaceutical company that can even get their hands on it . . Hollander Enterprises. The vaccinations they do get they offer to the kids first, and then there's a lottery for the adults. Except some of the criminals aren't waiting for their chances at the draw. They're trying to make their own opportunities. Which is turning this town into the wild-wild-west. All of this is fueling Virgil's guilt over having been away for so long. He feels like he's let his city, his neighbors, his friends & family all down. He jumps to the conclusion that Hollander is making both the virus and the vaccine. So he goes to confront them. There he runs in to Holocaust, Pyre . . who used to be with Blood Syndicate. While all of this is going on, Cassie goes to have a little heart-to-heart with Vic. I know this is silly, but it kind of reminded me of a scene from the Godfather. Like Vic was the don of the family. Anyways, she works out some of her personal issues and takes control of the team . . finally. And they decide to go give Virgil a hand . . whether he's asked for it or not. Felicia D Henderson writes this story. I thought she did a decent job. Like I said, it's more a story about Static than necessarily the Titans. Although they'll be joining the picture next issue. Joe Bennett did the art. I thought it looked great. In the back-up, Ravager finds that she's still being manipulated by Will. The recent events that she thought took place yesterday, actually happened weeks ago. In the meantime, he's been administering a drug to her to try to make her his slave . . his one man army. But now he's had weeks to get away from here. This story is by Sean McKeever and Yildiray Cinar. Overall, I thought it was a good book. The story was a little predictable, but . . most of the Titans are together. At least there's a team to work with.
