Newly awakened metahuman Ionbound suffers a fateful transformation that rocks the Titans team to their core. If they can't save these Source Wall victims, what good is their latest mission? But does this development hold the key to helping them? Or is it a harbinger of more death and destruction to come? That's a lot of questions to answer; good thing there are two issues this month to cover all that ground!
TITANS #27 gives a fantastic look at the many faces of grief and tragedy as the team faces the loss of their leader. While the main crisis of the story could be better fleshed out, the varied look at the different characters and the brilliant and atmospheric art by Brent Peeples makes this one of the best issues in the series to date.

Titans continues to show more and more promise each issue. The next few issues look to show Abnett has the right handle on the team now as Titans becomes a stronger read with each installment. Read Full Review
Titans (2016-) #27 is a comic that works for new readers because of all the setup for future stories stup, as well as the re-introductions and in-depth looks into each character's mindset and attitude when faced with hardship and adversity. The concept of loss and friendship is strong through and through, and I think the success of this issue will continue to drive this series forward in the weeks and months to come. Read Full Review
Overall I thought Titans #27 was a good read. The issue was emotional as the team is still trying to struggle with the thought that Nightwing could be gone for good. I enjoyed the artwork by Brent Peeples as he did a great job showing how these heroes cope with the loss of one of their own. I'm looking forward to reading the next issue as now the question is what will happen to the Titans and their mission? Read Full Review
Dan Abnett is able to craft an incredibly poignant issue to deal with the traumas involved with these superhero tales that we often times don't get to see. Read Full Review
In conclusion, Titans #27 was an incredibly poignant issue. Two characters loomed large over the team without being present. Two iconic characters lie dead or gravely injured. Consequently, Donna Troy – one of the original Teen Titans – struggled to cope. And yet, this new team of Titans persevered. Abnett moved the story forward in compelling ways while paying homage to the past. Those with knowledge of Teen Titans lore will appreciate the sentiments. However, losing so many of the original team proved more emotionally draining than anticipated. Read Full Review
This new Titans team has gone from a good read to a great one, definitely worth putting in your hold list! Read Full Review
Titans #27 was one of the strongest issues to date for this series. Dan Abnett did a great job using recent events surrounding Nightwing and Roy Harper's fates to deliver solid character work for this incarnation of the Titans. All the character work done in Titans #27 will make future issues even stronger, something that should be exciting for fans of this series. Read Full Review
A nice story to remind us that even superheroes have human emotions. Read Full Review
Wally West was central to this title when it was launched. Roy Harper and Wonder Girl have a long history, with some teenage romance in their past. To just skate over that quickly, or ignore it completely, is a shameful disservice to those characters. Read Full Review
Not a lot of action, but plenty of life. Hopefully, a small detour leading to a return to the action-filled previous storylines. Read Full Review
When a book relies so heavily on the reader being familiar with the other books in the universe, the book has failed in my opinion. I can understand that people like having a connected universe but this is basically a bonus read for people who read other books rather than continuing the story that this book's audience has become invested in. This is comics at their worse and that deserves a very specific score that our regular readers will know the significance of. Read Full Review
Although it's important for getting the characters caught up with events happening in the wider DC Universe, Titans #27 is not an entertaining issue you'll be revisiting for pleasure. This melancholy break will read better when collected with the rest of the series but will still feel forced and lacking in the emotional impact it could have had. Read Full Review
Titans #27 is an issue drowned in tragedy in which almost nothing connects with the reader, due to the poor work done with these characters previously. Read Full Review
Team books are all about how the characters interact with one another, and with a team with as much history as the Titans, I want the book to take the time to tell smaller stories like this. I also want the book to just be better then whats presented here. Read Full Review
This is waaaaaaay better than issue 26!
"We come back from the dead all the time"
The fallout from Heroes in Crisis and Batman #55 has reached the Titans. And as one might have expected they're not taking this very well. Some of them handle it better, others (I'm looking at you, Donna) not so much.
The team is struggling with the loss of Nightwing since he was the leader and the glue that held them all together.
This is a nice issue. With some good art and nice, touching moment between the Titans. It seems like this crisis will solidify them as a team and as friends.
Ok, the new direction of the series has finally somewhat clicked with me. I still don't care about the book that much as I used to, but at least now I kind of don't mind it.
Book was terrible, not sure how long I can keep reading this garbage.
Book has been pulled apart by editorial meddling.
The art couldn't even save this issue. Should have also mention Wally as well with Roy. So much of the dialogue feels so forced and cringe-worthy. Such a depressing issue, could have been an issue to introduce Kyle to the team and be a positive issue.
This feels extremely forced. And I don't think it's going to get much better seeing as this title is going straight into Drowned Earth, it seems.
