Teen Titans #11-“Again?”



**WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS**

The Sidekick Squad finds itself finally home and attempting to get back into the swing of things, but is their first adventure worth the price of admission.

For a very long while, Wonder Gi…um, I mean Cassie has hinted at the fact that the use of her power, which seems to come from an invisible suit of armor, came at great price. In this issue, she must pay for her powers. The latter half of the book is spent with a battle against and unseen Cassie in her armored form which leads to a final page revealing that form. While it might have had a great impact, the effort put into the story was wasted by the cover reveal.

More than half of the story is spent fighting, and the rest is spent with the usual teen angst you would expect from a book like this. The relationship between Cassie and Superboy goes nowhere, and the villain of the first half is shown as nothing more than one panel of Bunker trying to obtain what every teenage boy is trying to obtain. In the end, nothing is gained, and the progress made with the characters in issues previous is taken away.

Last Line…5.5/10

-Gonna Need You to Back It Up A Little Bit-

A little story is set up with Kid Flash encountering a group of super dinosaur/human hybrids that seem to come from the mysterious island the Teen Titans spent time on after the Culling event. While the story itself seems to be mildly entertaining, it is greatly misplaced. On the last page of the story proper, Kid Flash is seen in a very dire situation, and then a couple pages later, is seen in perfect health at a time before the story presented this issue.

Another problem with this back up is that the entire story isn’t wrapped up within the pages of Teen Titans itself. To get the entire story, you have to buy an entirely different book.

Last Line…4/10 for content…0/10 for timing
