While I wasn't expecting Adam Glass to take this kind of direction with the Teen Titans, I can say that I was definitely surprised! I enjoyed how each character was portrayed in this book, even if it may have seemed out of character at some moments. Each story got me more invested, and now I cannot wait to see what the team will be like once they come together! Consider me onboard.

For Wally West fans, this special is a must read. For Speed Buggy on the other hand, I love how Lobdell integrated this character into the DC Universe, and almost made me wish that he was actually part of the Flash Family. Overall, a great issue!

There are generally two types of silly comics - those that are just silly, and those who embrace their silliness and use it to elevate themselves to new heights. Aquaman paired with Jabberjaw is a match made in heaven - you can't help but enjoy it and its goofiness.
Most definitely a great, unexpected team-up, I hope Arthur and Neptunes will cross paths sometime in the future!

So much fun! I just need a bowl of Froot Loops, giant spoon, and my PJs to make it a complete return to my Saturday morning rituals. Jabberjaw was one of my faves.

Super Sons, since the very beginning of their comic run, were able to realistically portray two main characters, giving them necessary depth and personalities - something you rarely see with young protagonists, unfortunately. That's one of the very reasons I've enjoyed reading about them so much.
Their crossover with Dynomutt pushes the boundaries of depth and complexity forward. Way forward. It's a dark comic, to say at least. Hell of a dark and emotional comic, start to fnish, especially if you happen to be a dog person like I am. I wasn't prepared to see what I saw, thinking this comic will be yet another silly, fun adventure, like Aquaman and Jabberjaw's one. more

The emotional fallout from the last issue hits the reader hard, letting us feel just how the Rangers are coping with their loss. This issue also thrives in developing and humanizing Drakkon, seeing bits of the good man he once was in some interesting interactions. Overall, another excellent issue that makes me all the more excited for the next part of the story.

I have been excited about this book since Marvel announced it and put Saldin Ahmed as a writer. Exiles is a fun book that feels like the liberated team book from Marvel. The best thing about this type of story is that we can go anywhere at any time and it presents a real playground for a writer and this book has a very strong writer. Ahmed now has both Black Bolt and Abbott under his belt and he shows no signs of slowing down the great writing. Exiles starts by setting up an interesting take on Blink and giving us our first three team members. Ahmed wastes no time getting us into the stakes and for using the Unseen/Nick Fury Sr. to get us into what promises to be a big story. My hope is that Marvel lets this story run and evolve because that is what Exiles do best. A solid art team depicts locations with amazing ability. Each setting we blink to feels like an actual place and that it could exist. That is the balance that Ahmed will have to manage. He has all the ability to create crazy versions of every hero but he has to justify it or else we lose the impact. So far I am happy with this book. I have been looking for a great cosmic multiversal story since Ultimates2 and Exiles may be heavier on comedy but offers the same great ability to plot out the multi-verse.

I work with kids his age. Therefore, I can say from experience.

1: kids are always on their dang phoneS
2: kids are about posting videos of everything
3: kids are dressing in weird pajama outfits and are all about video games, including girls too!
4: The bullying was not accurate. It happens of course but not like that. Bullying is more or less done online too. So the kids picking on him about his "mommy" driving him to school... that wouldn't happen.

If anything, they would be talking to him because he was at ground zero of some epic event!!!

So my take on the kid is that the writers are pretty spot on for a 10th grader.

As for his powers, we weren't given a ton to go on yet. How do they work? And who is this large ogre creature?

I'm interested in finding out.

DAMAGE,
is an overall acceptable story. It does suffer from many genre cliches (a jealous ex-partner, the obvious, villainous government amidst others) and an undeniable familiarity with THE HULK so while I am hopeful for The New Age of DC Heroes this is, an underwhelming start for the new line of DC heroes.
