| Teen Titans #4 (2011) |
In the latest incarnation of Teen Titans #4, the team hasn't fully formed yet and everyone is still getting acquainted...violently. Superboy and Wonder Girl (Yikes! Can I call her that without getting beat up?) do battle in Times Square on New Year's Eve 2011. What a difference from the romance and losing their virginity to each other in the previous volume of Teen Titans. At least this Superboy looks bigger and more toned than the scrawny one in the Superboy solo series.
Meanwhile, new characters Bunker and Skitter quarrel, too, as do Kid Flash and Red Robin...over clothing. Sigh...
Unfortunately, the dialogue is reminiscent of Felicia Henderson. Is "Scott Lobdell" her pseudonym? Or vice versa? Both writers seem insistent on giving the teens lame dialogue (even for teenagers) and making them angry...all. the. time.

And what's with Solstice now being puffs of black clouds with intermittent lightning flashes throughout? It was so nice adding some diversity to the team last year, and now the beautiful Indian girl is just a puff of smoke?

As for the rest of the characters and storylines -- eh, who cares? Bring back the old series, please.

I didn't keep this after the #1's came out. The costume design for Wonder Girl was interesting, but that was about it. I agree on the Solstice character. Is her personality dark now as well? She was a pretty vibrant character in the Wonder Girl One Shot I read that introduced her.
Thanks for the update.
