If you want blood, you got it... but the Titans may not like it! There's a new leader of the Blood Cult, and her name is Mother Blood! Their mission? Kidnapping the best scientific minds from around the world to perfect their emergent-energy weapon. Their next target? Steel! And the Blood Cult has an ace up its sleeve: weaponized Source Wall energy that turns its victims into blood zombies. (As if there weren't enough blood motifs in this ish...) In the Titans' blackest night (wink), a new hero has arrived to help turn the tide.
Overall Titans #31 is a good read! This issue is basically just the team trying to come to terms with everything that's happened while they were gone, while also trying to compare notes about the Source Wall as well with Kyle. Also we find out that Raven's soul is still trapped in Unearth and the next issue sees the team jumping directly in battle alongside Kyle Rayner! In case you don't remember Unearth is a recently created world in the multiverse thanks to the Source Wall, and team at the end of this issue goes there–right into an army of fierce demons! I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next! Read Full Review
This latest involves the team traveling to the UnEarth to retrieve Raven's soul self. It's shaping up to be another fun trip to another realm. Just like Titans has evolved to one of DC's best team books. Read Full Review
Titans #31 was brilliant. Here, an impressive amount of storylines converge. With the inclusion of Kyle Rayner, the required reading for fuller understanding increased exponentially. Still, this issue was outstanding. It was beautiful and fun to read. It provided memorable moments and compelling connections. Surprisingly,Titans #31 felt like apayoff in the midst of a longer than usual story arch. Well done! Read Full Review
Kyle Rayner just seems wildly out of place on this team. It was one thing for him to become a member of the New Titans shortly after gaining his ring, but Kyle is an old hand now, one who gained massive power, which he then forwent. He had a long tenure with the Justice League. To put him in the Titans just to wedge in another power player seems forced. And I fear they will resurrect the romance between him and Donna Troy, which was also a non-starter. Read Full Review
With a temporary new addition to the team that should excite most fans, Titans #31 errs more towards a filler issue as it works to set up the next story arc. Read Full Review
Our issue falls in the middle as we get some good progression with our characters but for the most part, we see our characters standing around and talking about situations that we already know about. It's just rehashing old information and that is a big disappointment. Read Full Review
The plot is a mess, but the team dynamic here isn't bad and Kyle is an interesting addition to the cast " he definitely wasn't a classic Titan, but he has ties to the cast especially Donna. It's a slight improvement, but this series still has a way to go before it's a good series overall. Read Full Review
I continue to be amazed by how much I'm enjoying watching this team find it's way post Nightwing. Donna Troy as leader and Kyle Rayner joins up? Sold!
A very nice transitional issue. I would have liked that with the rebirth we lost the Red & the Green, but Abnett use it very well. Maybe the fact that Kyle change this quickly is mind about returning to the corps is easy. I like their fight and like in the 90's I fond of them as a couple (Even if I'm a Jade/Kyle fan). The fact that both their mission & raven's soul are in the same place is interesting too. I'm looking forward to read this arc.
Cover - Not related even if their is a fight at the end (But not with the Blood's goon).1/2
Writing - Nice issue well writen. 3/3
Arts - I'm really like Henry that I discover on both Exiles & X-men at the same time. I cannot tell what Peeples do, but I kind of like all layout & pa more
Would have enjoyed this issue if only the art was even somewhat decent. So many panels when the art is ruining the moment whether the changes in Bens face or Gerbil Beast Boy. But other than that great dialogue and finally the story is progressing more that we’ve had in last 4 issues. Though the possessed Gerbil Beast Boy felt a tad forced.
Good issue, that's really all I've got to say.
This title is treading water.
This title is pretty boring, but at least Raven will get her soul-self back and stop being an annoying pain in the ass.
I honestly just can’t get over how bad these people are at writing apathetic and emotionless. This should be so easy! How are you so stupid?!
