    A Big Happy Family

    First of all, I´m not a big fan of Robin, the Titans and the Flash, so the most natural feeliing for me when I bought this comic was not to feel so happy and excited about it, and a little lost too. But it was for my fortune that this one shot orbits in an event that took place in the aclaimed "Identity Crisis", by Meltzer and Rags Morales, and reading this book turned out to be quite entertaining and fun. The Rogues against the Titans (or a part of them, I´m not sure this is after Blackest Night events, I guess it´s before) are in a crashing course, and you can blame it on Slade: he sees the oportunity to bring his girl back on his side when Tim and Rose have a fight. This emotional turmoil of Robin is something that the writer Mark Sable really took advantage of and made it count, creating a story telling dynamics that, despite having too many captions, it was quite fast and self contained. There were some parts that only reading again and focusing I was able to understand, but it´s a solid narrative. The only bad thing is that the Titans were overmatched by the Rogues and still, in the middle of the fray, they´re able to have some conversations, discuss strategies, summing up, I guess it wasn´t very real the fights showed in this issue. But the fact that Sean Murphy was in charge of the art paid off this issue and it was great!

      The Teen Titans face off against The Rogues in this untold story. Pros: This one shot does bring back some good (and bad) times of the early Teen Titans. This story is set sometime after the death of Superboy and Flash (aka Bart) and is told in Robin's perspective during a time when Tim is feeling uneasy: Fathers Day. While this is about Robin, it's also about Ravenger as Deathstroke lures the Teen Titans in another one of his mind games.   Despite no Flash or Kid Flash (or speedster at that mat...

      Wait! What? *starts panicking like a little kid*, where’s the continuity?! Where and I?!    When am I?! What’s going on!!!........ So for those of you not fluent in panic-eas I’ll try and translate the above into English. Teen Titans: Cold Case dose not take place in current continuity. This one-shot takes place after Identity Crisis and before Final Crisis. Superboy and Kid Flash are still dead, Kid Devil is still alive and Tim Drake is still Robin. So unless you’ve figured that out you’re goin...
