I am not entirely sure I should write this here, but there is a reason I haven't been writing anything in here. A few days ago I started feeling really depressed and even had some anxiety attacks. This had never happened to me, I just felt weird. I am being serious here by the way, I am going to stop pretending I fight crime with shampoo arrows in the DCU for a minute here. I didn't know what was going on with me. It's not like I got new problems, just the usual ones. I think it was the flu medication I was taking. I stopped taking it and I have started feeling more normal.
Right now things got back to normal, and I hope it was just the medication. But things got really scary back there. I was to depressed to read, write, watch or do anything. I was too depressed to try escapism.
So let's talk about Teen Titans 55 which I finally read!
HA HA! I told you you were going to crawl back to me! TOLD YOU!
You are going to call me, I know, and you are going to cry and say "Boooh... you are my best friend, I don't know why I left you and never returned your calls... waaaaaah!"
And I'm just going to say "Oh, OK. Wanna go to the mall or something?" Because I am not petty.
There is something I don't understand here, though. Supergirl left because Wondergirl kicked her out of the team. Can Cassie do that? Really? Is she the leader or something? I have been reading this book for a while, and the goshdarn couch in the living room is closer to being the leader of the Titans than Cassie. Yeah, that part made no sense.
Oooh... Eddie can't compete with Jaime. Rose no longer wants to swim naked in front of Eddie.
Let's be honest here: Eddie just can't compete with Jaime. Rose is cruel, and slutty, but she is frankly moving up there. Jaime is a big step up from Eddie. Jaime is funnier, doesn't look like a Halloween costume, whines a lot less and wants to be a dentist. That guy has a plan.
And, besides, what the hell can you do with Eddie? Where can you take him where he doesn't look out of place? A Gwar concert and that's it! And I don't like Gwar. Screw you, Eddie.
Ah, I see they forgot to put the "H" in Cassie's AIDS warning shirt again.
Well, this scene certainly didn't go where I thought it was gonna go when I started reading it. I thought Robin was boldly going to go where Superboy had been before. No dice. And then they broke up.
This issue felt more like McKeever was cleaning the house before writing what he actually wants to write than anything else. These issues usually feel artificial, and this one does too. Okay, for some reason Cassie and Supergirl are no longer BFF. Maybe McKeever didn't want Supergirl in the team, but I think that hurts Supergirl's own title, because she really doesn't have much cast members. And Tim and Cassie broke up. I guess they needed to clear the way for Spoiler/Violet who may or may not be coming back. Also, I think Tim had a girlfriend in his own title. What the heck is up with that? MANWHORE!
I have no clue what's Blue Beetle's status with the Titan's now. He is not part of the team, but he can stay around? Possibly just to watch Rose skinny dipping, but OK, whatever floats his boat. |
