Comic Report: Teen Titans/Outsiders: The Insiders


Pre-Infinite Crisis, there was a break in the Teen Titans, where you knew *something* had happened but no one would say what.

This is what happened.

Superboy decides it's time he told the Titans he's got two daddies -- he's a clone of Superman and Lex Luthor. Then he kicks the team's collective asses, shaves his head and takes off.

Around the same time, we meet Indigo, the cutesy robotic member of the Outsiders.
Now she's glowing with funky pink circuitry and calling herself Braniac 8.

That ain't good. It's time for some multi-issue fight scenes occasionally broken up with crying about betrayal.

It's obvious that this was set up since the very beginning of the Teen Titans relaunch, and while it's not bad, it's not high comic art either. But it does get the team in position for Infinite Crisis, and Connor in the headspace he needed to be in for that storyline.

Pick it up if you want to know how Cassie got crunched, but it's not essential reading.
