THE TITANS ROSTER GROWS! It's a new day in the DCU, and the future is bright! Why, then, are the Titans looking backward, reliving their most horrific and traumatic moments, again and again, stuck in an endless loop? And who's the temporal tyrant behind this time-bending torment? Here's a hint: Time will tell.
This is a very fast-paced issue with some great visuals, and it ends in a way that hints that Clock King's threat is far from gone and may be about to combine with one of the deadliest foes the Titans have ever faced. This is a solid follow-up to Taylor getting the band back together so far. Read Full Review
Titans #17 is a fun second part to this new story, and it's about time the Titans got the respect they've earned! Read Full Review
Titans #17 delivers a mix of psychological drama and action, supported by a competent creative team. Layman's storytelling keeps the narrative engaging, while Woods' art effectively conveys the story's darker themes, even if it doesn't push any visual boundaries. The issue builds tension well and sets up intriguing possibilities for the future without feeling overly ambitious. Read Full Review
Titans #17 is an early statement comic book for John Layman and Pete Wood as the new creative team for this series. They do an effective job giving Clock King a two-issue story to put him over as a threat while showing the strength of a Donna Troy-led Titans team. Read Full Review
Another astonishing issue from Layman! Bravo! He's my favorite writer!!!!
Very good brief arc to reorient the team. The writing was good and the art was great. This was a quickie conflict to establish Donna as deserving to lead the team and it accomplished that very well. Tying into the recent events and setting up the next conflict also all tied together very well. Bright future for this book, with this creative team.
Good to see Deathstroke back in action
I like this issue, its good new story arc for a new creative team. I do prefer the old artist.
A decent issue overall
IMO, that's not the right creative team for this book.
The Titans did nothing in this issue. Donna had her badass moment, but she was the only one showing any skill or abilities. The others said about one sentence each and were written more as damsels in distress than veteran heroes.
The team's worst traumas were glossed over, and the plot led nowhere.
And while not a significant detail, the villain saying that Donna's plan was 'surprising and ingenious' and not something that could be expected from Nightwing's leadership was in poor taste.
Donna could have been shown to be a capable leader without undermining the others, and sadly, propping her at their expense was the main theme of this issue.
BAYTOR!!!
