Review by James Attias
Titans #20 is a book filled with emotions… Like seriously the entire issue is about emotions. It makes everyone quite… Emotional.
Love Is In The Air
How often are you in a room full of people? Picture it… Now picture if the emotions you were feeling were applied tenfold to everyone else in that room. Depending on your mood or your personality type it could be absolute chaos. That is where we are with the Titans. Raven is affecting everyone around her. Love, anger, hate… The Titans have definitely got to keep their heads about them during this one. Much like last issue this story was captivating, but for a different reason. Last issue we felt such pity and care for Killer Frost. This issue I was on the edge of my seat hoping that one small emotional change didn’t destroy the team!
I Get So Emotional Baby!
A nice addition to this issue was finding out that the Teen Titans base that Damian Wayne set up a few years back (and built a horrible prison underneath) was still around and being used. I won’t give too much away, but it was good to see that things from the past still matter. The art this issue was great as per usual, and the intensity was definitely felt in every panel. Looking forward to what comes next.
Conclusion
Titans #20 is a tense build up that leaves us an emotional mess. Check it out!
