It’s okay.,not spectacular. Could be a lot better. I’d not read this is a while and I was reminded why. It’s dull!

Está claro que tras los eventos de Beast World, la vuelta de Chico Bestia a las operaciones de campo no iba a ser agradable... Pero la verdad es que Tom Taylor tenía mil formas de hacer menos gratuito ese momento de que Gar vea de forma concreta el temor de muchos hacia su persona. Por otra parte... ¿De verdad que va a repetir tan pronto la arquitrama de tener a otro Titan como villano interno? Ya no sé si es para seguir aumentando el tema del odio público a los superhéroes y ascenso global de Amanda Waller o pura pereza argumental de Taylor

I am hoping this whole "the heroes are bad the public turns against them" plotline takes itself in some new places. I've personally enjoyed Taylor's work, so I'm going to keep the faith and hope it's not going to be some main focus. An apology tour.
It's kind of like the Israelites being led out of the desert -how many times do you have to be saved to remember that these people are trying to help you?

Starting a new Raven-based arc that also appears to be sowing the seeds for Waller's Absolute Power event as the public turns on Beast Boy. 🙄 I'm playing catch up on my comic stack, so Absolute Power is in progress or finishing up - don't know bc I didn't read it. But, I did find it interesting for Sgt Steele to show up here outside his war against Wonder Woman, for Waller, and without mention of Sovereign. Definitely feels like titles are being pulled together for the year's big event.

seems like the storm is a metaphor for the “sudden” and dangerous change in how the public sees the titan and how raven isn’t really raven. both the public and raven are still there but it’s a different and unpredictable and dangerous side to them that has the potential and does indeed cause a lot of harm.

Now that the space evil is gone it’s time for the next villain to rear its eyeballed head.

[Yasser Maniram · Rating 5 out of 5]

Spinmaster Steel and anti beast-boy / titan propaganda creating an interesting environment for the titans to perform acts of heroism when not all are regarded as such.

[James B · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story, but I'm worried about where it is going and if it's going to be very predictable and boring. Fingers crossed it isn't.

Pretty good considering how many times the whole "should we fear our heroes?" thing has been done.

[Krystal · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid start to a new arc, and I'm very curious about how the villain will be doing their work.

The team is solid but Gar is having some post-Beast World issues that no one can blame him for. I'm keen to see how the relationship between him and Raven progresses in the aftermath and what kind of drama we'll get out of it.

Tom Taylor always writes such fun stuff and this issue was no exception. Solid start to the next chapter.
