The dead aren’t dead, and that’s a good thing. DC takes another crack at this new continuation of an old team this week, but continue the greatness of the first issue? Or does it fall apart? After reading Titans #2, I think I have an answer. Spoilers ahead!

Official Description: 
A Titan is murdered! Will the new era for the Titans end almost as soon as its begun? After one of their own is found dead, the remaining Titans must look for answers before more blood spills. Can they outrun the horrible fate they’ve been dealt? Plus, a new Brother Blood rises as the team begins to fall apart!

Creative Team:
Writer: Tom Taylor
Artist: Nicola Scott
Colorist: Annette Kwok
Letterer: Wes Abbott

The Titans return to the tower to find blood and the body of their friend, Wally West. After realizing the Wally they know is very much alive, the team sets out to solve the mystery. Before they can, a mission calls the team to Borneo to deal with another large-scale ecological disaster. That isn’t the only trouble waiting for them, as they finally get the answer to why Tempest wouldn’t join them, and who his new employer is.

Great writing continues in this issue, with Taylor showing a real familiarity with these characters and their history. Taylor seems to be fully utilizing the Titans and their history to show that not only has the paradigm shifted for our heroes, but for their villains as well. Taylor is doing a great job so far putting this familiar team into a new situation. Scott and Kwok don’t sleep at the wheel, either. They really utilize every opportunity to make these characters as detailed as possible. Some standouts here would be Starfire’s powers and closeups, as even her eyes are detailed to give them a sense of depth.

Titans #2 is a great example of when something isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it. This great issue is looking like the beginning of a great run on this team, and you should be getting in on it now whether you had previously read Titans or not.
