Titan Tuesday starring Raven

Yesterday was MARVELous Monday.  I started to think, what could I do for my DC fans on Tuesdays.  SO I came up with Titan Tuesday.  I hope to have a new Titan post every Tuesday spotlighting one of the Titans.  today I am turning the spotlight on Raven.  Enjoy!

Wonder Girl One-Shot

To keep with the Titan Tuesday theme, I wanted to take this time to review the DC Comics one-shot, Wonder Girl.  I am not a big Titans reader as of late, but something told me to buy the issue and give it a go.  I am glad I did.  It was a very interesting story, one I wish not to spoil.  Basically without giving to much away, Wonder Girl has reunited with her mother for a visit at a museum when she decides to skip out on a lecture and meets a new fried while looking at the artifacts.  Well, then all hell breaks loose when a Titans villian once to rob the museum and Cass gets into the action once she discards her civilian attire.  While in the mist of battle she gets some unexpected help and takes the villian down.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this title.  I give the story a rating of  8.5 out of 10.  Get your issue today before you miss your chance.

Teen Titans: Cold Case One-Shot

The other day I had the pleasure of reading the DC Comics one-shot, Teen Titans: Cold Case.  I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised.  I have really never been a huge fan of the titans but I check on their titles from time to time.  One called me to this issue was the Rogues Gallery from the Flash titles.  Ever since Superfriends, Captain Cold has always been a favorite villain of mine.  I also love the fact that Deathstroke was in the book, even though he was not in it as much as I would like. I mean, Deathstroke is bad ass!  But I will discuss this further in a future post.

The story revolves around Robin, Tim Drake, and is connection to the Rogues.  According to the story, his father and the original Captain Boomerang and some tussles which led to death.  Who dies you ask? Get the book! Anyway, Deathstroke uses his daughter, Ravager, as bait to lure the Titans into a trap, a trap they barely get out of that is.  To make a long story short, the Titans fight and get beat but come out swinging to win the fight and the new Titans realize they have to become a family like the Titans of old.

I would give this story a 7 out of 10.  It was a good story, but it could have been better.  I still say go out to a comic shop near you and pick up an issue today, it is definitely worth the read!
