Comic Report: Teen Titans: The Future Is Now


Back to the big stories.

There are two storylines in this volume of Teen Titans, and they very may well be the ones that define the series.

In Titans of Tomorrow, the Titans are sent 10 years into the future, where they are confronted by a much darker version of ... them. Not only is this a great story where the kids confront what they might become, it also offers a lot of hints that point toward Infinite Crisis and even some things that could happen after Infinite Crisis. In all a great story.

And in Lights Out, we get some of the repercussions from Identity Crisis. Dr. Light is back -- and he's got his full power again.

Now he wants revenge for the years of being a plaything for the heroes' children -- and he'll get it by destroying the Titans.

A bevy of past Titans reunite to fight the threat, and it's cool to see them all get handed their collective butts by someone they used to dismiss as moronic.

Simply great. Even if you don't decide to read all of the Teen Titans trades, this might be one to pick up.
