Titans #21 - DC

We see a majority of the Titans this issue, but . . they aren't back together. They get together to fight some Dark Nemesis chumps . . even Wally comes running. But they're really just looking for an excuse. The Dark Nemesis goon were just minor leaguers. As soon as the fight is over, Wally and Donna take off. Wally wants to be there for Barry . . he feels like he's missed so much. And Donna is concerned about Roy. Remember . . he got his arm cut off in Cry for Justice. Raven and Gar have taken off for California, and the Teen Titans. And Kory? Kory has been offered membership in the JLA, from Vixen. So basically . . Vic is alone in holding down the fort. However, when Kory goes to Gotham to talk to Dick about her opportunity, and decision, he reminds her 'If you do decide to join the JLA, we'll still be a family. The Titans are always together . . when it really matters.' Which really helps her to make the final jump. Now all she has to do is go back and talk to Vic about it. Vic's problem is that when he tried to put together a team on his own . . Titans West . . his new recruits were all hurt, or killed. He'll never forgive himself for that. So, when trying to put together a new team . . he wants experience over raw power. There's plenty of new faces out there that he could choose from. But he's afraid to go down that road again. Which, at the end of the issue when Phobia shows up, she uses against him. And then she turns the table on Kory. She finally knows what Kory's darkest fear is . . she's afraid to be alone. One thing the Titans have never been short on is character development. JT Krul seems to be doing a great job of keeping that going. He really brings out a lot of emotions in these characters. Angel Unzueta and Chris Batista do the art. It looks ok, but Angel's solo work looks alot better . . like that on the cover. Anyways, it looks like things are really going to hit bottom for the Titans next issue. But . . it appears that in March, with their Annual and Titans #24 things will finally start to turn around. There may be a bright future for this team yet. Once they get past all of this . . crap.
