Is it just me, or does Vic look like the terminator, crawling on the ground?

Who designed the T-Jet?

Because putting critical systems in the top of the jet where puncturing a hole causes the whole jet to begin exploding was probably a huge design flaw.

Also, I assume their ejection system needs work. Why?

Well, besides the fact that there is no way a hole in the roof of the jet would cause all of them to suddenly fall out the bottom,they somehow ended up falling several hundred meters away from the side of the jet, and are in fact falling at the same level of the jet. So I assume with critical damage, a teleporter activates to move the occupants a safe distance away from the jet immediately... though apparently without any sort of safety feature for the non-fliers.

That's some pretty bad design.




In short, I agree with DT; I think Felicia ran out of room, what with all that witty banter sucking up panels early on, and had to shove in the rest of the story into a page.

The fat guy is obviously a SAPOR trying to keep Raven safe from Gar's vile clutches.

Keep your fingers crossed, but its sounding like we're going to get an announcement of some kind in the coming weeks. Hopefully it will be a writer change after the Wyld arc ends.

Love that sound effect.

FLOOOOMP.

My goodness, Cassie is a total bitch, but we knew that already, didn't we.

Wait a second, is that...

GAR'S GOT SHOES ON AGAIN!

Also, I'm wondering now if Vic is going to be guest starring in the Wyld arc.

That last page read more like a comic strip than a comic book. I think Henderson simply ran out of room and decided to cram as much as she could on the last page.

It reminded me more of comics from the early eighties on back. Especially Silver Age Superman. Those comics were so compressed most of the storytelling was done through text and the art often came off more like a slideshow.

I've seen much, much worse; but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to someone better on the book.

Felicia was tossed on a book with high expectations for her first assignment. It shouldn't come as a surprise she's had loads of difficulty living up.

Man, if that were really what it was, that would be the most meta thing I could think of in a comic book this side of Morrison.

I wouldn't say she sucks--she's green. I mean, honestly, Gar has been a bit better than he was under Judd's pen. At least he's not being an obnoxious jerk... a bit impotent, but at least not grating to be around.

But, yes, she's very green, and I don't see her staying on the series too much longer, unless DC really does feel like Teen Titans is a sub-par book not worth their attention (it does seem that way sometimes).

Still don't know what to make of what she's doing with Gar and Rae. Also wondering if Miss Martian will end up being a traitor--either because of mind control from the wild, possession from her white Martian doppelganger (that was never resolved), or because she actually decides to betray them. Something might be up--its possible that Miss Martian was purposely keeping Raven in a coma to make her easy to catch. guess we'll see.

Doubt it. Not with Miss Martian as a featured character in the Young Justice cartoon. I wouldn't be surprised if the evil future self thing came back into play though.

I don't like the art overall, and the last scan, panels seem a bit confusing, like we're missing some things. Like how does everyone fall out of the jet? Where's our transition of that? One second fat dude is punching out, the nexty bam everyone is free falling.

I mean, look at him! Fat overweight guy in a superman shirt too small for him; that alone screams "fanboy" stereotype. And now he's running off with Raven (who seems to have a large number of over protective fans) back to his home dimension and taking her away from that vile shape-changer who isn't nearly good enough for her. Its practically a SAPOR wet dream!

OK, I'm probably way off base. But it wouldn't surprise me in the least if at least some of that was deliberate as a subtle swipe at certain fans.

What's SAPOR?

SAPOR = Self Appointed Protectors Of Raven. A term that got coined over on the RBSU.

Basically, the uber Raven fans who practically worship her above all else. Most of them absolutely hate BB/Rae and regard anything that doesn't fit their expectations about how Raven should be handled as evil and completely out of character. They also generally hate everything that's been done with Raven since Johns brought her back, and would much rather all of it was retconned away.

In short, they're crazy and the type of comic fan that's typically ridiculed by... everyone else, really.

Just think, over obsessed Raven fan, and you've likely covered it.

Although I will admit, they haven't been around as much this last year. I think the worst of them have finally moved on to other fandoms.

Works for me.

I think a few of them became persona non grata at some forums too, actually.

I can think of one on ComicBloc that got thrown off, and a couple more that got so tired of things not going the way they wanted that they just stopped coming.
