I find it sad that I now am trade waiting on Teen Titans.
I think Cry for Justice is perhaps the single best comic on the stands right now. But I’m sure it will be controversial. I won’t spoil it, but there is a very disturbing scene in the latest issue. Anyone else see this?
(Also, Jay is very cool in it.)
I love The Shade being asked a certain question by Jay, and yes that was a great scene. I do hate that Firestorm and Vixen got whitewashed again, though it was mostly Vixen this time.
