There is so much going on in this 4 part series that it has me on the edge of my seat. Deathstroke has always been one of my favorite villains. His portrayal in this particular series although a little more PG than I would like is still well done. Read Full Review

With three writers it is easy to think that too many cooks would spoil the broth, but I have to honestly say that the crossover feels really balanced. It feels as if the writers are using each issue to focus on one theme each. In the first issue it was really about rebirth and bringing things back and with this one it is trust. As long as they keep this up it could be really effective and make for a great crossover. Read Full Review

The Lazarus Contract is a must read for every comic book fan. Such beautiful storytelling and shocking moments to go along with it, that in the end it leaves you not knowing which side to root for. The Lazarus Contract is not something you want to miss out on. Read Full Review

Teen Titans continues to be a fun book, and definite course correction from its new 52 counterpart. It has focus, sense of purpose, but most of all sense of family that the book lacked in New 52 era. It is a good time to be a Titans fan! Read Full Review

This is definitely a must read, especially if you've read part one of this crossover. This issue gives us an insight into Wally's mind,and the extremes he's willing to go to save lives. Read Full Review

Benjamin Percy's Teen Titans #8 keeps the momentum of "The Lazarus Contract" going, keeping us in suspense and eager for more. Read Full Review

In short, this is a very solid issue, working as a single chapter in the ongoing narrative but also as a standalone issue, giving depth to Kid Flash's fears and doubts about his mentor, making Deathstroke seem relatable without blunting his menace and playing with the concept of multiple Wallys in fun ways. Teen Titans #8 isn't even hampered by Damien, as he works well within the cogs of the story, and the art is well-done throughout. Read Full Review

Overall this issue was a great step in the Lazarus Contract story, and Im definitely excited to see who gets resurrected…at least, I think will get resurrected as the Lazarus name conveys. Looking forward to the next part which continues in Deathstroke. Read Full Review

Teen Titans #8 built from the solid foundation that last weeks Titans #11 gave us, creating a second part that leaves a lot of doors open for the final two issues, as well as future issues of the series. While it may not have moved the story forward all that much, it was still a very enjoyable issue. Read Full Review

A great continuation of this crossover arc. It was a fast and enjoyable read. Every character was highlighted perfectly and each unique quirky quality added flair to the story. There were moments, artistically that, for me at least, took away from the story. Even so, the suspenseful plot line and skill of having the heroes be so well developed made up for it. Definitely a book for the shelf. Read Full Review

As the second part of the Titans and Teen Titans crossover we are reminded by Robin that Death stroke has both Wally Wests. Naturally the Teen Titans head to the Titans, and tensions run high. After all Robin is not exactly a diplomat, yet Percy avoids the hero versus hero fight with aplomb. Read Full Review

This is a strong story entry into the “Lazarus Contract” storyline, if not lacking a bit on the more technical aspects of the issue. Still, it doesn't detract what has the potential to be a good crossover. DC definitely needs one. Read Full Review

If you're able to let go of "the way things used to be" there is plenty to enjoy here.  While perhaps a bit weaker than the opening chapter of the Lazarus Contract, this issue does move the story along.  The novelty of seeing the disparate Titans interact along with the cliffhanger make this issue worth your time. Read Full Review

Teen Titans #8 does a good job bringing the team into the conflict started over in it's big brother title, Titans. The dynamic between the two Titans teams played in well with how Deathstroke was able to get into Kid Flash's head. Unfortunately "The Lazarus Contract" crossover is still being kept back by the fact that the scale of the story feels too small for a crossover involving three different ongoing titles.

The initial conflict between the two Titans teams feels forced, even it doesn't fall all the way into clich. Read Full Review

Another slow-moving installment in “The Lazarus Contract”,Teen Titans #8 fails to offer much justification for its existence in the wider story. It still has some of the charm that Percy has worked hard to hone these eight months, but they are flashes in an otherwise dull picture. Phamand company are in decent form, but over Hester's busy layouts, it's hard to appreciate the visuals as much as I usually do in this book. Here's hoping the next installment of this crossover makes up for the first two. Read Full Review

The storyline moves forward much more here than last issue, but it's still unclear why Grant's death is hitting Deathstroke so hard now. That should come more to light next issue, as the extent of the newly revealed agreement between Deathstroke and a Titan comes to light. It hasn't yet delivered on the homage of its title, but it seems to be moving in the right direction. Read Full Review

"The Lazarus Contract" has bits and pieces that work, but I get the feeling the stand-out chapter will be its conclusion, as I'd be lying if I didn't say I had some significant interest in a Priest-written super-speed enhanced Slade Wilson (and what sort of internalized journey he'll go through). But the getting there has felt like more work than needed, especially in how it stopped each of its respective series dead cold. Read Full Review

Totally fun second part and I'm happy they bypassed the "heroes fight each other" trope and actually moved the plot along instead. I feel we've already gotten more plot in the two parts of this story than you get sometimes in 5 issues. Deathstroke steals the show here as he did last issue. Looking forward to next week! I like these DC crossovers (this along with The Button and Superman Lives) that tell a story weekly over the course of a month. I hope they stay with this model. The story tends to cook faster this way.

Great interactions from both teams. Deathstroke is very relatable and there is a feeling that you can root for him. Nightwing is on the hot seat this time, which is interesting.

I like the story, but I think that there are certain characters within the DC Universe that come across as unlikable and one of those people is Kid Flash. I hope that what they are building up to is a spectacular as they are implying, but in these first two issues not much has happened.

Moving steadily. I can bet that the next issue of it will be the real deal.

SCORE: 7.4

Story is good but the way it has been brought across by the writer doesn't sit well with me. Still interested to seeing where story is going but i miss the art from Jonboy Meyers.
It could have given the issue the ump it needed.
