More truth
behind Raven’s past, as she and her mother are confronted by those that would
see Raven sacrificed for the greater good. And that would include Baron
Winters, who has his own agenda (one that possibly includes a revival of his
own ongoing series, but that remains to be seen).
Meanwhile, the illusion-casting
Azure isn’t the only hidden experiment at 2MorrowsTech. There is an entire
Green Lantern spectrum of super-powered sisters, all whom seem to have a grudge
against Raven and/or her mother.
Events in this issue seem
to be moving slowly, allowing for greater character development – not only with
Raven, but with her supporting cast as well. There seems to be some exposition,
which I don’t feel is entirely necessarily. But then I have the New Teen Titans in the archives of my
Fortress of Solitude, so maybe it’s just an advantage I have in this particular
instance.
I’d said before that Mhan
and Kindzierski’s artwork is suitably moody for the material at hand, though
I’ve come to realize that is only partially true. They do great with Raven and
her environs, but far less so in the scenes set at Baron Winters’ mansion. They
seem rather flat, in a very Silver Age sort of way.
