By request - Titans #14
From the requests thread, 2 pages + 1 preview panel from Titans #14, new out this week. My crops but not my scans.

It's a Spotlight on Cyborg issue called "Disconnected." After conversations with Gar and Sarah, an encounter with Creepy Old Friend Ron, and a surprisingly emotional crisis-specific skirmish with a supervillain, Vic faces down his most terrifying challenge of all:

Earlier in the issue Gar pressed upon him a card for the Metamatch Dating Service ("We bring metas and humans together...discreetly"), which is kind of a cool concept, the more I think about it. I wonder if it's an Oracle sideline?

	Ho hum. Decent writing, good angles on some of those panels... but man, the art looks wonky. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yep, it's one of those "almost but not quite" art jobs. Very frustrating. I want to like it, but it just doesn't quite make it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Woops, you're right! Fixed now. I don't usually post from new stuff (somebody usually gets the new stuff up while I'm at work and can't post) so, forgot. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I wonder if it's an Oracle sideline? I've often wondered if people bug her to find them dates, do some superhero matchmaking. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I imagine it's less "bug her" then "whine at her" on where are all the good ones that don't mind about that whole "woman of steel man of Kleenex" thing... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Am I the only one who thinks Cyborg looks like a young Bill Cosby in that last panel? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I wonder if it's an Oracle sideline? "So I was hoping you could match me up with that hunky Nightwing." "No." ... "Yeah, my tastes run toward dark hair, blue eyes, athletic build—" "Sorry—nothing like that." ... "My profile? Well, I was a princess on Tamaran—" "We're sorry. This line has been disconnected."

	"Hi, I'm visiting from Daxam? So I guess I'm a meta. I was hoping you had something in a dashing Errol Flynn Robin Hood type? Only blond. I dig the blonds." "STAY RIGHT THERE. I'm sending a plane, you'll be airlifted to a deserted island with the man of your dreams in less than ten minutes!" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A pretty good match for Cyborg, actually - she's got a sense of humor AND she's a techie. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	AND she can relate to his, ahh, body image issues. In fact, she's so perfect for him I'd say she's due for a fridging in 3...2... (Reply to this) (Parent)
