    Whelmed, just whelmed.

    This comic was neither good nor bad. It is simply achieving a goal that it needs to in bringing characters together. It was looking like this title would be a good to great read it's turning out to be another middle of the road book with our favorite characters all messed up.

    Tim is not immature to be looking a girls cleavage enough for her to say "eye up here." He's used to being around women with C and DD cup breasts in revealing costumes that have them practically naked. Wondergirl is in a tank top that isn't revealing and has a B to C cup breasts... He wouldn't be looking at her chest even if he was that type of guy in that situation.

    Tim falling for Wondergirl is equally dumb.

    Skitter attacking Tim...after it's shown that she understands him is dumb and wouldn't happen. Same with the shouting Kill. Tim makes the observation that she made sure not to kill the Nowhere agents so the whole scene was dumb and a waste of time.

    Solstice having her character changed so much that it isn't her...just so they could use a character that likely wouldn't have lasted long in the last volume is just bad. They should have just used Raven or Secret or Empress instead of Skitter and Solstice.

    It's an ok read, but nothing mind blowingly excellent.

      Teen Titans #2 follows up directly after the last issue. Tim is still focused on getting a team together to fight against the agents of N.O.W.H.E.R.E and Cassie is still adamant about keeping out of it. We are also introduced to some new characters in this issue. The first of which is Skitter who is a half insectoid half human teenager that seems to be having trouble holding onto her humanity. The other is none other than Solstice who has undergone a serious cosmetic change. Though not as action...
