    Titans, Together?

    Synopsis: Introducing Bunker!

    What's Good?

    As Yakko and Wakko would put it,
    As Yakko and Wakko would put it, "Hello Nurse!"

    I'm really taking a liking to Miguel Barragan, aka. Bunker. Bunker is the Beast Boy of this series: he's fun, eccentric, expressive, and probably the most rational character that Tim has come across so far. His powers of psionic bricks is a nice set of powers that's different from powers I'm used to seeing. Meanwhile, I like the interaction with Kid Flash and Solstice as they try to escape a N.O.W.H.E.R.E prison.

    I got to admit, I like the spread page of Kid Flash actions at the beginning rescuing Solstice. Brett Booth still have a great handle on character designs. Compared to Solstice's old look, I prefer her new look.

    What's Bad?

    What the hell just happened with the encounter of Detritus? I'm sure he'll make an appearance in the future, but his appearance just comes off way too random. 
     
    The story doesn't really develop much other than introducing the last member of the Teen Titans.

    Overall:

    It appears that we finally have the central cast members now, but what this series still lacks is an actual team establishment. So far, The Justice League is a doing a better job establishing a team of some sorts than this title. But besides that, this issue itself wasn't bad, it's just Scott Lobdell seems to be having a hard time just trying to have teenage superheroes come together and being a part of the new 52.

      The Story: Red Robin encounters Bunker and quickly teams up with him to overcome the challenge at hand. Kid Flash saves Solstice and runs to what he believes is the Pendact Circle.  My Thoughts:Teen Titans is a series that has surprised me. While this is only the third issue, I like the direction it's heading. Scott Lobdell has now introduced us to all the characters involved with the team.  While this issue didn't exactly progress the overall story a lot, it was still a lot of fun. Lobdell's in...

      I can't say that I didn't enjoy this issue, just this issue has a purpose and that is not necessarily to tell a good story but rather to get to a place where that good story can be told.  There are quite a few things going on here, from Bunker being introduced and later fighting Tim, to Cassie challenging one of her attackers from a previous issue, to Kid Flash and Solstice being on the run after escaping.  With all that is going on, it is not as though it gets confusing but more so that it gets...
