Teen Titans #69
Hey, so, you know how Titans has been a total cesspool of misery, "shock value" death and maulings, ZOMG LOOK HOW EDGY posturing and general filthy, angsty wallowing? But in the last couple issues, it's been kind of picking up a bit, and starting to look like a title that might actually be worth following?

Well, the relief from gory murder didn't last long...

... but the dead guy is Face, who spent the entire issue repeatedly sexually harrassing every girl within leering distance until Aquagirl laid a massive smackdown on him and Cassie kicked him out of the tower. So, hey, the title has turned around! First good comic book death in years!

Secret. Tim wasn't really that angsty - he had a baseline level about his secret identity issues, but it was baseline, same as Cassie and Cissie's fights with their moms and Kon's "I wanna be a real boy" stuff. Secret was a solid ball of ZOMG misery and unspoken woe and dark and terrible burdens to horrific to even fucking talk about for fifty bloody issues.

(Sorry. Loved YJ. Hated the Secret arc.)

	Which one? YJ began and ended with Secret storylines. One could argue that the Secret's story was the over-reaching arc of the entire series. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. It was. And IMO it was annoying and poorly done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, well, I loved it. But different strokes and all that. =D (Reply to this) (Parent)
