Different atmosphere, different customs.
It's a successful introduction. We're immediately involved. I like the way Dan Watters moves quickly from one scene to the next, with no dead time. We're in the story and not here to dawdle. He keeps his supporting characters and uses them intelligently. Well done. Babs is here, so much the better. I hope he spices up their relationship.

8.5 because this last issue was a bit livelier
It was nice, but that's all.
I didn't find what I was looking for:
drama, stakes, depth in the characters...It was...fake.
I love Bea Bennet (Blüdh now), I was happy to see her again but here, I clearly didn't get hooked on her story. I liked her better before when she was defending residents threatened with eviction. When she was 8.5 because this last issue was a bit livelier

I put a generous nine. Because, I've always loved titans
Funny, Titans lacks what Titans Beast word has: flow! Titans is carefully written, coherent and superbly illustrated. But it lacks that little something that would make it a great story. A little punch. An energy that would run through the story and make us say "Wow". The fact that almost everything is predictable spoils the investment I put a generous nine.

Not to be missed
This third issue holds up well. The first two issues were excellent and this one, though a little slower in terms of pace, continues to keep the stakes high and the suspense flowing. Honestly, it's been a while since we've had a quality event, and Beast World keeps its promises. Let's face it, Tom Taylor has a knack for this. You can tell he's put a lot of thought and effort Not to be missed

Botched work.
It was to be an epic, deep story, questioning the notion of family and heroism. But it was none of that. It's a perfect example of a story being rushed through without any of the promised goals being achieved. What about thinking about Batman's radical methods? What about thinking about a more permissive but perhaps more effective alternative choice? What about the thoughts of t Botched work.

Symphonie dissonante
the problem is, you can't make a good story if the source material is bad. And right from the start, Gotham War's story is a smoky one. The synopsis didn't augur well, and so it proved. The pretext for this Catwoman/Batman war was shaky, but the way it was handled was worse. There isn't a single really good issue. Also, Zdarky and Howard don't have the same voice for the Symphonie dissonante

The pirate prince
10 because it was a lot of fun. It's a tribute to the pirate films of the 50s. It respects the codes: mystery, glamour, treachery, romance, the captain's heroism... Bea resembles Captain Anne Providence, played by Jean Peters in Jacques Tourneur's 1951 film La flibustière des Antilles. Same style, same spirit, same drive, same determination... In short, it's a pleasure beca The pirate prince

Excellent, it's excellent.
There's real care taken with the story. Everything is weighed, placed and sequenced to perfection. For the first time since the Titans book came back, I was thrilled. Gone is the feeling of a clumsy Titans reunion (I didn't really like the story with Neron), finally something concrete. Tom Taylor has stepped up a gear. The pieces of the story fall into place one by Excellent, it's excellent.

Halala... action, surprises, emotion, it's all there... but it doesn't fit. Because...by trying to deconstruct Batman (again), there's not much left of DC's great, ultra-capable hero. He's in pieces (again). You'd think it was a contest. Or it's in the brief. Who can best scuttle Batman's psyche (again)? Chip Zdarksy sure can, but why?

Very good Nightwing revival after several issues that took us away from the main plot.
I love that Dick reunites with Bea (his lover from the not-so-distant Rick Grayson days) in a totally unexpected role. I do believe that not everything is settled between these two. I like the soap opera aspect of Tom Taylor and his team's story. Putting a bit of salt in the purring Nightwing/Oracle relatio Very good Nightwing revival after several issues that took us away from the main plot.

This first issue of Flash by Simon Spurrier and Mike Deodato was a real surprise. I've never been much of a Flash fan, but here, oddly enough, I got right into the story. The atmosphere, the characters, the cutting, the sequencing, the storytelling, the pacing, the (fabulous) art... it's all good.

Top! The Titans are here.
Tom Taylor is a master storyteller. Frankly, he nailed it with this second issue. Everything was perfectly balanced, the plot going off in two directions (how Tom Taylor is going to tie the two threads together is the whole question), the heroes being so endearing and attached to each other. You can really feel it. The bond is there and it's soft, familiar, reassurin Top! The Titans are here.

Very good issue.
It's good to see Nightwing back in his solo. The Taylor/Redondo duo's narrative and drawing experiment (seeing through Nightwing's eyes) is quite successful (though not as easy to read as the previous experiment). The story is light, airy, funny and very sympathetic (the passage in the elevator is great). It's a unique number that leaves you smiling. So yes, we'd have liked T Very good issue.

Bof
I agree with the general opinion about this issue. Can do better. To tell the truth, I didn't like the previous 3 issues either. In fact, the Titans issue (which just came out) stood on its own as an introduction, there was no need to use Nightwing as a springboard. Also, this issue #104 alone sums up everything that was wrong with this pre-Titans run. It's sluggish. There's hardly anythi Bof

Nice ! I love the Titans and always have. They're my favorite superhero team and that's not about to change. This first issue does what it should do, immerse us in the 'family' atmosphere that is proper to the Titans without wasting time re-telling us their history, officially introduce us to the new status of the group (they are the new official protectors of the Earth) and the new enemy (the Iro Nice !

Plutôt sympathique. J'aime bien la scène à Themyscira, elle est bien amenée et J'aime bien le grinning man. Il a beaucoup du potentiel. La solution de Nightwing est à la fois, intelligente et morale.

Not bad but not enough. I like the Titans (can't wait to read their book) but to relaunch them through the Nightwing solo book: No.
Frankly it's not what we want. Nightwing needs to kick it into high gear now. To refocus on his story in the Bludh and move forward in earnest with Heartless (it's waiting for Godot that one).

Oddly not my favorite issue. I'm trying to figure out why and the answer that comes to me is this: I wish Tom Taylor had taken the time to really wrap up Melinda's story. Here it goes too fast. Tony Zucco appears and then he's already out of the picture. Too fast. There was a lot of fallout to explore in this Zucco family drama. With Nightwing in the middle, it could have been Dallas version of Ha Oddly not my favorite issue.

I really liked the first story (by Jamal Campbell), it is very balanced between action, emotion and investigation. Jamal Campbell draws wonderfully both Nightwing and Barbara Gordon. But he also succeeds perfectly in writing his story. The Director is an intriguing character. I hope he returns after this two-part one-shot.

Great !!!!
I loved everything, especially Robin (so precocious in his reading of the human soul, a quality that belongs only to this Robin and that is why he was so indispensable to Batman). Freeze is perfectly written too. I'm not bothered by this darker than usual version of the character.Here, Victor Freeze is a man who is afraid to share anything with others including his wife and when th Great !!!!
