So Long, Farewell…Review of TEEN TITANS #29

teen titans 29 coverIt has finally come to this…the trial of Kid Flash, and now Solstice is complete and they are preparing for transport to the prison planet.  It’s a time of goodbyes, of thinking about what might have been and what might yet be…

LIGHT SPOILERS ONLY

We start issue #29 with Solstice’s story, and why she cares so much for Kid Flash.  There are some sad goodbyes here, as Tim Drake not only says goodbye to Bart and Kiran but to his vision of the Titans.  His words for Bart are a bit surprising, but what he does after saying goodbye to them is an even bigger surprise…won’t spoil it here, though.  In the end, the remaining Titans make their way back to their own time, and what they find leads us into the upcoming final battle with Harvest so hold on to your hats!

Scott Lobdell has written another excellent script for this series.  I’ve said it before but it bears repeating – your opinion of this story and this series will depend in no small part on whether you can take this New 52 Titans group at face value.  If you are looking for the pre-FLASHPOINT Bart, he isn’t here.  But, if you are looking for a well-crafted tale this is definitely worth the read.  The artwork is exceptional – Scott McDaniel handles the breakdowns, with Tyler Kirkham taking the artwork from there and Arif Prianto on colors.  There is a bittersweet quality to much of this issue, with some interesting twists as well.  There is just one more issue left in the series…that’s a sad note as well, but I am looking forward to the big battle with Harvest next issue.

This Week: Flash #29, Rogues Rebellion #6, Digital Crossfire

Flash #29 Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #6

This week sees the release of TWO Flash comic books (how often does that happen?), the final issues written by Brian Buccellato. The first issue of the Francis Manapul/Brian Buccellato run on Detective Comics has also arrived in stores today ships next week. (Oops – I saw a preview and didn’t check the date on it.)

The Flash #29: Written by Brian Buccellato, art by Agustin Padilla. Flash and Deadman team up to find the supernatural Keystone Killer before he strikes again. It’s a mystery that may — or may not — answer the question of who really killed Barry Allen’s mother in the post-Flashpoint timeline. Preview at Hero Complex.

Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #6 (of 6): The Rogues battle Gorilla Grodd, Parasite and a slew of the Crime Syndicate’s co-opted thugs in the ruins of the Gem Cities. The outcome doesn’t look good for the Rogues, but these blue-collar opportunists never back away from a fight! Written by Brian Buccellato, art by Scott Hepburn. Preview at DC Comics.

And in digital backissues…

The Flash #184: Crossfire Part One. His allies have been taken out of play one by one, and now Wally West is caught between the New Rogues in Central City and the Thinker’s total control of Keystone City. Written by Geoff Johns, art by Scott Kolins and Doug Hazlewood.
