Gut-punch opening that quickly introduces previously-missing Wally West to the former lovable team known as the Teen Titans. The middle goes up and down in terms of interest, but hurtles towards a surprisingly really emotional climax that massively elevated the comic for me. The art was a big part of that, as well as just the pacing of the final issue in this volume. And yes, Wally West is the main focus of the team despite this being a ‘Titans' book, which shouldn't be a problem as his return is obviously one of the key arcs of this title and this is just an introduction.
However, if the reader isn't keeping up to date with the overall DCU events and has no awareness of Dr Manhattan, the Watchmen or the real reason behind this entire Rebirth wave of comics, the story can be hard to get in to. But hey, it's a comic and I guess they don't do a lot of this explaining in the short page number they have, yet fans are still able to follow along.
A nice cliffhanger ending for Volume 2.
