Kid Flash's true history and motivations are revealed as he goes to war with his former teammates in the future he plans to rule.
Tyler Kirkham’s art has that big comic book feel. Kirkham has a great understanding of how panel placement can elevate the action of a story. His pencils are solid, though very much in line with a standard comic book look. Heavy lines, dark inking, a penchant for being slightly over the top with the facial expressions. Kirkham also seems to love huge boobs, or at least this issue makes it seem that way. Read Full Review
So we have a issue, and an annual left until the end of Teen Titans. This close to the end of a series I always get sad, not only because it's ending but for some reason the title always seems to get better. I mean this issue looks better than it has since I can't even remember. The story is fun, and each character has at least a page or two to shine. But damn does the art look amazing, it's definitely the highlight of this issue. Read Full Review
This issue had strong art and Bart was well written and developed, but the rest of the team just kind of melted into one entity. I expected/wanted a few things from this arc; I wanted Bart's character to be explained and expanded, and I wanted each member of the team to really spend some time reacting to Bart's actions and objecting to them or defending them. In this issue we were able to get one of these things but not the other. Read Full Review
Unless the last two issues of the series and the annual coming out in the next couple months pick up the quality, it is sad to see this series go out on this note. The ‘Trial of Kid Flash' storyline has been the weakest from the series run. The series has three issues left to end things on a strong note rather than limping across the finish line.

If I'm being completely honest, I don't think writer Scott Lobdell did such a bad job creating pathos in Bar Torr's rebellion against the Functionary. There is real emotion in his fight to free his people from a corrupt and evil government. So it's a shame this comic is actually about a club of colorful, teenage heroes who wouldn't know real emotion if it was beat into them with a crowbar. The Teen Titans are caught in the middle of a war that doesn't belong to them, and they're stuck flailing around in an embarrassingly desperate attempt to be useful. Read Full Review
Most of the key ingredients for a solid Teen Titans story are in place here. It's the execution that's lacking. Read Full Review
What a train wreck. This issue manages to ruin it for all previous issues.
If you want an issue to LOOK at it's okay. BUT, I think this issue has made me dumber for having read it. I had hope for these characters earlier in the series but the last shreds blew them to pieces in the final frames of this issue. I hope whoever writes the next Teen Titans series at least puts forth a better effort.
