So why would this loss not consume their every thought like it did in the second issue? Why is it that there can be moments of silence when the fighting is put on pause instead of a deluge of questions where they unpack this incredible concept?Īs for the way that Raven gets put to heel by Brother Blood. However the conversations around this idea are still shallow and only just point to the fact that this creates or aggravates conflicts which is such a shame because the amount of loss that characters have had to experience is omnipresent in the second issue. There’s so much you could do with that idea and there are already some character interactions that reflect the impact of “waking up” to the change in timelines. I especially love the idea that because characters are existing in a different timeline their ability to remember what life was like before doesn’t magically erase the awful reality they currently live in. When we’re not getting lost in the action the story proposes some really awesome concepts. What I have a problem with is that this comic has started to tap into its story in ways that are both complex and shallow. If you’re here to have fun and read about powerful characters in a dark and dominating world then by all means please keep your eyes on Titans United Bloodpact! So while I will be spending a “bit” of time talking about how this issue has dipped in the quality of its overall execution I do want to emphasize just how well-executed the action is. We get quippy lines and insane displays of their powers which is exactly what I’m looking for in a Teen Titans comic.

The opening of this comic picks up in the middle of a fight and perfectly transitions from the previous issue. Tim Drake tries to return to his world by slowly getting his team back together, flooding their heads with memories of the timeline they all used to share.Ĭavan Scott absolutely loves to throw us straight into the action and I’m here for it. Oh boy do I have thoughts for this one! This review is gonna be longer than usual because I have to address some problems here and, sadly, be critical of something that I still see great promise in! To recap a bit on the story, Titans United: Bloodpact takes place in a parallel world where Raven has basically become a God among mortals thanks to the Church of Blood.
