the only way I'd get on board with BB wearing shoes again would be if they had paw shaped markings on the bottom and he left paw prints in the dirt and sand and such.

.......you want him to have those purple sneakers from the AS don't you, DON"T YOU, ADMIT IT. XP.

it would be a funny little detail for people to paw attention for that wouldn't really effect the stories one way or the other. Kinda like how some artisits draw deadpools belt buckle to match his facial expression at all times.


It's an interesting concept, I'll admit. But seeing that current illustrators have no idea on how to keep Gar on one look, I doubt something like that would stay long.

Naw those tride to hide a paw print and disguise it as shoe tread, I'd want it to be a clear paw markinglike the bear paws he used to have on his shoulders

Ok, well I was at the comic book store to pick up Secret Avengers (haven't read it yet but I'll let you guys know) and while there I picked up and skimmed through this issue. Get ready for the pain...

Spoiler: click to toggle


it was a chore to skim through this, the dialogue was trite and riddled with grammer errors. Hendersons run can't end soon enough for me...

Well at least Gar didn't talk much and took some action.

Other than that it sounds like lots of Conner/Cassie angst.

But hey, this is balanced out by Return of Bruce Wayne #2.

Miss Martian goes to the Med wing and the two scientists go off to work on some computers to see what they can make of where the Wyld went. Meanwhile all the others go to the "T" table to discuss what to do next. Beast boy has one more "We have to save Raven, I'll lead the way" which is quickly silenced by Cassie's "Shut up, we don't know anything"

I skimmed through the issue myself when I was grocery shopping (my comic stop is next to a Winco) and from what I remember, Gar's idea was to send Aquagirl to open some kinda breach at the bottom of the ocean and he leads a search party. Whereas Cassie halts him then lays out a plan, and "her" plan was what Gar exactly just said.

Read the issue. A few thoughts, spoilers follow:

1) Henderson's dialogue is improving, but it still falls mostly flat. None of the characters have a distinctive voice, although Henderson does seem to be trying to improve that by adding little nuances to some of the characters (particularly Aquagirl). But there's still a long way to go.

2) Gar's over-reactions about Raven feel particularly awkward, and even a couple of the characters are starting to comment on that (Aquagirl, for one). I'm starting to suspect that there really might be some manipulations going on.

3) The origin of the Wyld is just :wtf:. Evidently, the Wyld were accidentally created by Raven, when she was psychically hopping universes looking for her father (Titans #2?). While briefly passing through her magics interacted with the local indigenous life and created the Wyld, which now needs to absorb her or something in order to grow more powerful.

There is also a statement to the effect that there are "thousands" of alternate universes out there. Doesn't that directly contradict the rules as recently established concerning the multi-verse?

4) Cassie wins the trophy as the most annoying leader the Titans have ever had. I suspect the ground work is being laid to break Cassie & Conner up.

5) Good art, better than anything we've had for months.

6) Cyborg leaves because he has to get back to the JLA, Blue Beetle leaves to check up on home and to be roped into Generation Lost. I don't think either are going to be around much for the foreseeable future.

Overall, I give this issue **. Its not terrible, but its mostly "meh". Guess we find out where its all going to go next month.

******

Give me a few and I'll post some scans.

EDIT:

SCANS!

I don't know, the whole issue felt like the rough draft od a hastily oreder re-write. There were so many errors and holes. Like after the first scene with Conner and Cassie (exact quote)

Con: Did that make things better

Cass: No make worse

And as for the Wyld's origin, affter it first attacked the Tower, Meg wrote in her diary that the Wyld telepathically told her it had existed for centuries. I have a feeling that The Wylds origins hadn't really been thought out or they had to suddenly change it and hope no one remembered that centuries part. Or Maybe it lied to M'gann, but that would be kinda dumb.

The other explanation is simply that time passes differently in whatever universe the Wyld are from.

And yeah, the dialogue still has an unpolished feel to it.

Seconded.

I hate this book.


We'll see where they take it. But yeah, if they're going to go the whole manipulated route, that's going to be a big downer after everything we've been through.

On the other hand, the person who directly makes the comment is Aquagirl (Lorena), who seems to be swinging from guy to guy (she even makes a pass at Conner this issue) and may just not be the kind to understand commitment issues. Ok, I know, its a stretch, but with Henderson you just can't tell.

I think you're being pessimistic, since that's not a direction I can see them going when they've had four years to just end it.

But I'm not going to argue the point anymore.

It really is worthless to fight the wave of pessimism.

Um, how exactly??? No one was even talkin to Gar about his over-reactions, and Aquagirl's never been around the guy. She was too busy flittering with Conner.
