I'm glad someone else recognized that image! I thought I was misreading/misinterpreting it at first. But dear God! Can we make Lilith's story any weirder than it already was? And someone please tell me: Why is it that all the Titan females have such screwed up origins/life stories?

I guess I'm going to put my faith in Geoff Johns and pray he doesn't abuse it. If he has some love for the so often looked-down-upon likes of third-tier Titans like Mal, Karen and Duela, then I will trust he will do right by Lilith. She has a LOT of fans. Possibly more than DC suspected.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if that image was meant to be Omen. Omen and the disciples of Blood do wear similar outfits. I think perhaps it was just a coincidence (crosses fingers).
As for the latest issue.... blah. The story didn't much grab me, and the art was mediocre at best. It amazes me how little research Liefeld must have done before drawing it. I mean, didn't he know that Raven has very short hair now? He drew her like she was 20 years ago. And I was beginning to get tired of seeing all of these breasts that looked like fluid water balloons that weren't filled enough.
I'll pick up the next issue, only because it's what I do, but here's hoping that the main creative team doesn't take any more breaks for awhile.

Good point, Cru. You're right. Brother Blood's "mother" always has worn a similar outfit. Maybe Lilith will be spared and will reappear in a more normal fashion that as one of Brother Blood's cohorts.

The art really was awful. One good thing about that though. Next issue will look that much better!

The art was actually less hysterical this issue; it's the story I still can't get over.
The whole 2 issues kind-of smacks of FILLINITIS using big names like Simone and Liefeld to keep sales up, like that recent, dreadful OUTSIDERS 2-issue fill-in-- but without the star power. And the star power (Simone, mainly-- Liefeld was all I expected) just phoned it in.
Note to self: save money next time a fave book does a 2-issue fill-in, and skip 'em.
I'll be expecting Johns to write someting amazing for # 29 to make up for this.

For half a second, I thought Christina Cross (lamenameitis to go with fillinitis?) had a smidgeon of potential. But now I hope she's consigned to the dustbins of limbo.
New recurring villainesses for the Titans would be welcome. Let's not start with this one.
I'm also less than impressed with this new HAWK AND DOVE. I've read rumblings about a TITANS EAST miniseries or story set within the current title. I suppose the sister act's inclusion is inevitable. But I'd really rather see the new AQUAGIRL, Duela, FLAMEBIRD, heck even DOLL GIRL over this pair. They do rate over PANTHA, at least. Maybe. Unless she's now irrevocably paired with RED STAR. Then I'd rather see them.
I kind of liked the panel where the Titans where walking along the bones of some decomposing beast (I hope it was a beast...), though it turned out to only be window dressing.

I like this Hawk & Dove. But I need more of them. And I agree the last few issues of Titans I really haven't paid attention to what is happening...cause it read like a fill-in. I expect it will be like that until OYL.

Why *didn't* they erect a statue for Jason Todd? I'm surprised they didn't.
I haven't been following BATMAN books. I knew about the RED HOOD, but hadn't read him. I liked the psychological struggle between the two Robins-- as well as the fight scene. It was, perhaps, a bit of Robin overkill after the Robin/Kestrel fight last issue. Worthwhile, though.
I sympathized with Jason Todd, in a way- though I don't understand exactly what he was trying to accomplish. What would he have done if there'd been a statue of him with the other fallen Titans? Would he still have challenged Tim Drake?
I would've liked to have seen the Donna Troy scenes wherein she 'collected' Mal (Herald?) and Bumblebee. Raven has the interesting 'death's doors' speech-- followed by the unhooding of another Red Hood, this one poor zombified Lilith (how come death's other 'clawing' returnees aren't gray-skinned with splotchy spots?).

Dude, anyone else notice that justabout every arc Tim gets his ass beat. Or, at the very least, his face messed up.
1st arc: Deathstroke. Raven arc: Brother Blood. Future arc: future!Tim. Identity Crisis tie-in: Cyborg elbowed his face. Into the Light: Dr. Light. Insiders arc: Kon. #29: Jason.
I think the only reason he didn't get his butt kicked in the Beast Boy arc was that it took place while he quit being Robin. Seriously, for a kid whose supposed to be "that good" he gets owned a lot.
