The Titans #14
In the previous issue, Nightwing questioned peoples commitments to the team and told anyone who didn't want to commit to leave, causing Jesse to do so. He then feels over-stressed and heads back to Gotham for advice from his old mentor, so when danger strikes, Garth takes over the leadership role.

I think these are fun because you get to see the Titans rooms inside the tower. I love Toni's stuffed toys and Grant's room having all these archer themes and being a total wreck (which, at first, made me think it was Roys room), Kory being very stylish and feminine and Roy's little room sign. Even if that Ollie picture is freaky.

Followed by Dick doing something borderline dickery, but very self aware. That said, I love Dick's room having a Nightwing symbol.

I will be the first to admit that I wasn't bothered about Aqualad/Tempest, but I think one of the best things about this is it highlights that he can be very capable despite having a bad rep, while understanding the position Dick is so often put in.

So now it's off to Gotham, with Dick proving again that he is the bat who will ask for help if he needs it - though only from certain people.

Anyway, fight goes down, everyone but Garth gets out and there's general freaking out. Cue compliments about him and him being able to laugh at himself.

Oh, those wacky Titans.

But I love that conversation with the Bats. Bruce seems completely clueless, but over the years he really does know how to talk to Dick in situations like this. The key is to just say something cryptic and then he'll do all the talking himself. He's the Robin who can't shut up.

Also I do love the Titan's rooms--and that Kory's seems to have been decorated with pictures of herself.

	He's the Robin who can't shut up. I love that everyone in the Batfamily seems to know this as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	given that he started the "Holy..." thing, and that he did pioneer being the witty Robin...you can imagine how he is when he's not being a dick. or a Dick. haha. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Roy and Donna...? That's an... odd pairing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Donna was trying to prove she could be 'wild' side, so they had an on/off thing during this series. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I get that it happened, it just seems so ill-fitting. Then again, this was before Terry and her kid got smoked, I guess? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The girls that show up on Bruce's "See Dick" webcam, his favorite past time when he is alone in the Batcave. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Garth is so the greatest Titan ever! Also, I love how Dick is just listing girls. "Do you mean Donna? Kory? Clancy? That girl on the subway? The one from the park? The telemarketer who was hitting on me? The twenty other girls who have propositioned me since last week?" (Reply to this)

	There was a lot about the later Titans issue I could've done without, but this cracks me up every time. LOLOLOLOL = everything. Oh, Garth. I miss him. I miss Dolphin and their baby too. Where ARE they now? Also, why does he and Dick have weird hair here? (Reply to this) (Thread)
