The Titans are going green! As the team desperately attempts to heal the Borneo rainforest, they reach out to the only avatar that can help...Swamp Thing! Will the peaceful yet powerful giant be enough to stand up to the forces of evil? Or will the new and improved Demolition Crew wreck them all?
Nicola Scott's artwork remains outstanding, helping to make Titans such a visual treat each month. Annette Kwok's colors are rich and vibrant, making for a perfect complement to Scott's art. Titans is one of the A-list titles that can get away without having nonstop action due to the tremendous character work. This title remains enthralling each month and with the ramp up to the first big Titans-focused event, it's not gonna stop anytime soon. Read Full Review
The creators are putting force behind the Titans as the premier super-team, and this issue both reads well and looks amazing. Well worthy checking into. Read Full Review
These characters have been aroundand honestly, pretty staticfor a long time, but Taylor seems to be giving them new life with every issue. Read Full Review
Issue five of the series sets up a multitude of possibilities for the future of our heroes; from setting up a prologue to the upcoming Beast World event, to expanding their team by one member, and making room for Swamp Thing to appear in the near future. While also setting up a crossover story, it doesn't ignore the main story that the writer, Tom Taylor, has been building up. Read Full Review
Scott delivers some dynamic art throughout the issue and I continue to love the visual style of the series. Read Full Review
Titans #5 is a great issue that drives story and entertainment together. With the Rainforest and Flash's Death plot points getting closure, there is one more visit to Brother Blood, and we get another exciting reveal. This situation will be exciting and can lead to some wild fallout in upcoming issues. Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott deliver as always. Read Full Review
Titans #5, much like a huge part of its plot, felt like planting seeds to grow a lot of future stories. Well drawn, well written well, now I'm ready for "Beast World! Read Full Review
Taylor presents a different approach to how super-heroes interact with their world. It may not be for everyone, but comics have always reflected the world in which they are produced, and this particular aspect suggests something not only different, but pertinent in our own world. It provides a different kind of connection as well as showing that saving the world can have a different meaning. Read Full Review
Out of the Shadows is mostly about standing for something as a group outside of the shadow of the Justice League. Instead, the team operates more like the Saturday morning cartoon version of a worldwide superhero team. Although the beginning of the series is underwhelming, their focus on mature, tangible goals for the planet seems promising. Much of what Beast Boy tries to say feels like frustrations felt by activists around the globe. In many ways, Garfield's PSA is noble, even if consistently showing how unstable his emotions have become. None of the villains or plot points are living up to the challenge, but at least the messages are. Lastly, I'm happy Taylor acknowledges and addresses many of the things that I've questioned in previous issues. Even if the book has the tone of High School Musical, Titans has the potential to try something new and maybe heal the world. Read Full Review
Titans #5 shows readers just how well Tom Taylor can balance two storylines at once, with his script here managing to tie both timelines together with ease. Read Full Review
Titans #5 is a boring, unfocused waste of a comic. Taylor concludes the big murder mystery of Wally's death in the least interestingly and energetic way possible, the lion's share of the issue is taken up with a nature field trip, and the art hits a new low with possibly the laziest attempt at a Swamp Thing I've ever seen.

This was far from action-packed, especially for the last part of an arc, but it was still well-written, in my opinion. I would very much rather have a well-written issue with little-to-no action like this one than an issue full of action with no substance to it. I genuinely enjoyed seeing this story progress and I was very glad to see Swamp Thing here. I really enjoyed the series he had under Ram V. and I'm glad to see him joining the team, even if it's only as a part-time member. Hopefully Taylor brings that aspect back in the future, as I'd really like to see more of him with the Titans.
a solid conclusion to the first arc, I hope Tom Taylor sticks the landing for his crossover event
I enjoyed the issue but the fact that this team is supposed to be the replacing the Justice League and the story read more like an episode of Captain Planet is a problem. Hopefully Beast Wars elevates the stakes to give them a major threat.
Felt like more could’ve been done with the alien parasite, a tad anticlimactic.
I haven't read an issue of this since #1 because I wasn't a fan but decided to give it another try and what do I find??? The Titans are fighting deforestation....WTF??? Tom Taylor up on his soapbox again worried about anything other than telling a great story, which he is very capable of. I've read a lot of great Nightwing stuff by him but he's so hit or miss and this is a big time miss. It was nice to see the new Swamp Thing in a book again but other than that, this was ass.
