Is There Anything Better Than A Super Teams Team-up?


The Informant admits that we likes us some super teams. Justice League. X-Men. Avengers. You name it, get a bunch of super-heroes together and it's sweet times. I don't know why this is, but it is. Maybe it's because you get to see a bunch of your favorite heroes on a single page, so there's a more for the money element to it. Maybe it's because you like watching all the personalities clash.

Whatever the reason, getting two teams together is twenty pounds of fun in a five pound sack and Titans versus Justice League Origins & Omens #10 is no exception.

If you haven't caught up on the story as it crosses through the DC verse, Jericho has been held in the Watchtower after his latest escapades. Of course he escapes and makes it back to Titan HQ and starts jumping bodies like a fool. What's great about this book is that Nightwing (and you know how we here at The Informant feel about Nightwing) takes center stage. The Titans make every effort to capture Jericho, whom they consider their responsibility, and bring him under control.

The only problem is that the Justice League has arrived and they want Jericho back. Mayhem ensues. Of course, everyone gets a chance to discuss their feelings and when Jericho jumps into Superman he suddenly learns that taking control of Big Blue is not as easy as it looks.

No spoilers here. I recommend this book and would say read the ending and see what happens. Especially with Nightwing. Writer Judd Winick has done a commendable job and while it isn't the best art you'll find in comics (a pained expression seems to cover the gamut of emotions on most of the heroes) it doesn't do anything to detract from the story either.
