review 1: What an unfortunate turn after the promising start of volume one. If they had actually done what they said in the premise, this would have been an awesome step. Instead they decided to skip over most of the events, only showcasing the final battle with Harvest. Possibly this intersects with another series that we are not told about, but either way this leaves us struggling to catch up. Not only that, but issues leap from character to character, with little care for continuity or a linear narrative like in volume one. Individual stories like Kid Flashes do stand out, but when it is left unfinished, after leaving off in the midst of others as well, it hardly feels like a collected whole.There are some reasons to keep reading though, character personalities really start to sh... moreine as complex relationships develop between the Titans. Trust still remains an issue, even as their secrets come to light. The art too continues with its brilliantly flashy sense, at least it does until one contributing artist uses a thick-lined style that is too different from the norm. We can only hope that volume three returns to the winning formula, a unified narrative rather than a bunch of side stories.
review 2: After the awesomesauce of Volume 1, this was kind of a letdown. The first chapter was really good, even though the artist changed and I wasn't as fond of how the characters looked. But then it went into a story that crossover with other titles, and I got really lost. I hate missing parts of a story line, and crossovers are particularly annoying when you read collections, versus individual comic books. So The Culling story line was weird. And then the dino-people thing just...ended. And suddenly Cassie's powers are freaking out? Um...okay.I know that Volume 3 will deal with another crossover, but I'm a little more prepared for that this time because I am going to start the Nightwing New 52 books. less
