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!

Well, it didn't help that Torres didn't seem terribly concerned with characterization. I mean, for the most part it probably would have been okay if the burden of all that nonsense was off it, but I still can't get over Cissie in uniform. Just go ahead and demolish Cissie's entire storyarc and kill half the point of the Cissie-Cassie friendship in one casual stroke, why don't you.

	He said he had originally addressed why she was in uniform, but had to cut that part out for reasons of length/flow. I think he may have planned to return to it at some point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe Cissie can join the New^10 Teen Titans (Now With 70% Less Angst And Death!) as their archer, since Mia isn't around. Every team needs an archer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... every team has an archer. I'm not sure it's ever been demonstrated to me to even the most remote fraction of satisfaction that any team needs an archer. (Reply to this) (Parent)
