I´m a big fan of mythology and the way Wolfman told the story about the origin of life for the Greeks, then created a bridge throught the mythology to his fantasy plot was awesome, just incredible. Marv utilizes the Greek mythology to explain Donna´s past and he did a great job, because he used all the good concepts of the myths, like love, treason, war, procriation, and shaped them into a new story, like a second degree of mythology: in the beginning there was only Uranus and Gaea, who had 11 sons, among them Chronos, who´s Zeus´father, that murdered him and banished the other 11 sons out of Earth, then they discovered a new holy ground, called New Chronos, and begun life again, rescuing children in great perill - like Donna - so they could be their replamecent in this new olympus . I wasn´t quite sure this story would be great, but after reading this issue, I´m sure it was an excellent choice picking up New Titans. The narrative is straight foward, it´s interesting, specially with you enjoy mythology. The best about this arc story is that everything is connecting: the aliens chasing Donna, the mysterious lady (Phoebe) telling Donna about her true story, how the sons of Uranus rely on their seeds for salvation, and the really true best, that now the Titans have a mission: to rescue the survivors. Highly recommended!
