A brand-new day brings a brand-new hero to the world of the Teen Titans! Strange disappearances on an archeological dig prompt Wonder Girl's mother to ask the team for help. But what part does the new hero Solstice have in these mysterious absences? Will she help the Titans or hurt them?
Like I touched on up above, I don't like the team of skilled and competent heroes suddenly being utterly useless until the new character shows their tricks/skills/powers. It also seems that Cassie gets slapped around far too easily a good bit here. Remember Cassie, daughter of ZEUS? Some time ago, she was allegedly given a major power upgrade, and nothing seems to have come of it since then. Our opposite numbers in this seem a bit too sharply and obviously set up here, too: Solstice has glowing, light based power, and the demon is described several times as so intensely dark. I confess, I'm also a bit tired of Raven having to break contact with someone because "Their evil is too intense/powerful/strong for me to resist." Read Full Review
The action itself isn't all that special, but the interplay between characters and emotions of the team's shakeup work quite well. I'm glad the team has its leader back, and even if their first test isn't something I'd choose, it's still a good beginning. It also doesn't hurt that we get another issue drawn in the clean, sleek and vibrant style of Nicola Scott. Worth a look. Read Full Review
It's clear that Krul has lots of plans for this series, and I'm absolutely on board for anything he wants to throw our way. I just hope that we see Damian in with the Titans again soon. Read Full Review
I lost interest in the first story arc under Krul's pen, but this new arc, beginning this issue, offers a less clichd, more intriguing sophomore effort. Krul gives every character a chance to shine, which makes the book feel balanced and provides a more interesting read. What happens once this team is fractured (no, that's not really a spoiler) remains to be seen. The main part I'm waiting to see, however, is more of the other-dimensional fracas as rendered by Scott.

So, the while I am really having problems with how some of the characters are being treated and where they are going, the story itself is actually pretty interesting and well done. Also, I would like to see how Solstice works out as the power set is rather cool. Anyhow, while the artwork is still fantastic, I still have to go with only 2 out of 5 stars. Read Full Review
