Teen Titans 1 (November 2011)

I thought there was supposed to be a flamboyantly gay superhero in Teen Titans. There’s not.

There’s nothing here except some awful Brett Booth art and the writing stylings of Mr. Scott Lobdell. One must admire Lobdell’s consistent incompetence. I mean, one example is his narration from Tim Drake. Lobdell writes it like he’s got a character narrating a movie trailer.

Also of amusement is how Teen Titans basically just rips off Marvel’s Ultimates or, at least, did to when I fell behind in reading it. There’s this secret organization with an acronym who’s going to manage all the superhuman teenagers in the world. So a mix of the Pied Piper and Ultimate Nick Fury. Only Booth’s Nick Fury stand-in looks like a goth hipster.

Lobdell doesn’t even establish why all these teenagers have sidekick names; it’s doesn’t seem like Kid Flash is the Flash’s sidekick.

It’s truly awful.
