Teen Titans #4

Wonder Girl fights Superboy in Times Square while the rest of the team gets aquatinted with Kid Flash and Solstice for the first time. 

At the end of the last issue we were promised a confrontation with Superboy this issue. The story begins in Times Square where Cassie is being followed by Superboy. The two eventually begin to throw down with each other. The plot gaps didn't go unnoticed by me. Why was Cassie in New York and how did she get there? There was no mention of her character heading that direction in last months issue (as far as I recall). You just kind of have to shrug that one off and try to enjoy the issue. The fight scene between the two wasn't too bad. The duration lasted the entire issue and occurred simultaneously with the other characters becoming more acquainted with each other. 

Once again readers may not enjoy the pacing a lot. Aside from the Wonder Girl and Superboy confrontation, the rest of the issue revolvers around the other Teen Titans members meeting Kid Flash and Solstice for the first time. I had mixed feelings towards the interaction between characters. At times I felt some of the dialogue was sort of annoying but then again these are teenagers so I suppose it's expected for them to behave and act this way. At least next months issue looks to be action-packed as it will mark the first time the entire team fights side by side.

One of my favorite things about this series is the artwork. I've been a fan of Brett Booth for a while now. It seems not everyone enjoys his style. Personally, I love it. What I also really like about the art is the coloring. Andrew Dalhouse is a great colorist. I find the art style very suitable for this type of series. It works great for a series starring teenage characters.

Slowly but surely the team has assembled. I think everyone wants to see what they're made of. Hopefully in time this series will evolve into one of the more enjoyable team books and surpass the quality of its predecessor.
