Titans #15

This issue is pretty solid in and of itself, but it isn't terribly vital as a Blackest Night tie-in. Look at it as more of a prelude to a tie-in. If that actually sounds worth you hard-earned money, then by all means give Titans #15 a look. Just don't pay any attention to the silly and misleading cover and you'll be all set. Read Full Review

A pretty good offering by DC. Not a home run, but a respectable base hit, and maybe a double for Titans fans. Read Full Review

Now, don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing wrong with this issue on a structural level. I think it’s written well enough and the art is really nice to look at, but for me it doesn’t really serve any real purpose other than pushing Tempest from point ‘a’ to point ‘b’ with some forced storytelling and heavy handed foreshadowing. I don’t really need to know all of that going in to Blackest Night, and I feel as if this series may be in need of a sales bump and so it became a Blackest Night prelude. Again, I’ll say that there’s nothing wrong with the writing and the art, it just wasn’t a necessary story. Read Full Review
