Infinite Crisis meets my beloved Teen Titans.
There's several stories in this book. First off, we get Jason Todd continuing his rise-from-the-grave bitchfest by attacking Robin at Titans Tower.
I don't want to see any more of Jason Todd. I actively dislike Jason Todd. He was a whiny little brat when he was Robin, and no one was very sorry to see him dead. Now he's a whiny little murderous brat with dead boy issues. This is not an improvement!!
Somebody, please -- put Jason Todd back in the ground where he belongs.
As if this isn't bad enough, the equally whiny teenaged Brother Blood is back, and this time he's resurrected all the dead Teen Titans to be his new "family." Raven and Beast Boy take a trip to the underworld to find a way to fix the problem, and you get some really nice interaction and the start of an unlikely romance. Awwww.
And since this seems to be the volume of whiny little boys with super powers, Superboy Prime makes his appearance and beats Superboy into super pulp.
In the most formulaic part of the storyline, Robin and the Titans have to brave a bunch of Lex Luthor's deathtraps to retrieve a serum that will save Connor's life. Yawn.
But Connor is saved, and he and Cassie retreat to Smallville for some soul searching and some nookie ... in a barn. Awww.
Now, I know some people have criticized the sex scene, but I thought it was very tastefully done. They're teenagers, they've been dating for a long time and geeze -- if you faced death every day, wouldn't you want a little touch after all this time?
And then there's the Infinite Crisis, and the Titans teaming up with Donna Troy to thwart Fanboy Prime and not-Luthor.
Poor Connor. At least he got lucky before that all went down.
