Teen Titans #89 preview, now with more Damian

[sherkahn]

DCUBlog has the preview for the Teen Titans as they have to deal with a pain in the ass.

Two behind the cut.





"CHICK" FIGHT!

The artist does impress. Damian does have his father's scowl down.

Comments

Don't get in a fight with Ravager, Damien. You might be... surprised.

[misterbug]

Wow...once again, Damian speaks my mind. Why DO they need a talking chipmunk, anyway?

[turtlefu]

I know this is Nicola Scott, but the quality is down from her Secret Six work.

[freezer]

In his favor, he does go after the one Titan that couldn't take him apart in thirty seconds. (Not that Ravager would take THAT much longer, but still).

[punishermax]

"So Bruce. That sure was a good plan man. Yup, shoving your dickhead son into a team of teenagers, not just normal teenagers mind you either, but the Teen Titans. You know, the team where someone gets raped or murdered every other fucking day. Good Christ it's like you shoved dynamite up a lion's ass then threw it into a bear enclosure."

"Dinah, how was I to know that he would manage to insult every single member of the team within a minute of meeting them."

"Well I suppose the fact that there are female members of the team was clue number one. You know how much he seems to love girls."

~flash cut~

"Here's your cookie dear. Thank you for giving blood."

"FUCK YOU YOUR WRINKLED WHORE!"

"Oh dear my heart!"

~flash cut back~

"It's almost like a sport with him. So many dead old ladies..."

"Also the fact that literally the first thing he did was insult Beast Boy was also a clue."

"The fact that he grabbed Raven's ass and called her sweet cheeks should have also clued you in Bruce,"

How did you even know that happened Diana?"

"As a woman I think I'm attuned to acts of supreme fuckheadedness against my gender. Also Raven blogged about it pretty heavily. She even set her emotion to angry."

"Also your son is named Damien. Damien. There was only one road ths whole thing was gonna go down. He had to be evil. It's like you had to know Bruce. You had to see that sign before you started anything. I personally think you just brought it all on yourself. When I have a kid he's getting named Angelheart Pure."

"Awesome, so you give your son the most poetic stripper name ever. That's one way to set him on a career path.

"One-eyed Jackie"

Is that a reference to anything?

Oh Damian. Really. Trying to assert your prowess is nice but attacking Rose of all people? Oh how Colin's going to miss you.

[starwolf_oakley]

Anyone can have a pissy attitude. For a long time, my only problem with Damian was he killed the Spook about a half-hour after being introduced to Alfred and Tim. And no one really seems to care. (Exactly how "bad" it is to kill someone seems to vary a lot for the Bat-family. For Jason it was very, very bad. For Selina and Damian, not so much.)

Even Bruce at his Bat-dickiest wouldn't decide to attack a team member in order to establish dominance. Wolverine might, but that's different... somehow.

[jarodrussell]

Today on Comic Book Theater, Damian Wayne and the Titans re-enact the comic book fandom's introduction to Damian Wayne.

[pyrotwilight]

You know. My mood gets a little less happy every time I remember Miss Martian's not on this lineup.

On the other hand in another month or two she'll be in the new Young Justice comic, so yay, I guess.

[sweettart1823]

I'm so excited for Rose and Damian! Yay! 8D They're going to be fun and hilarious, they had better be fun and hilarious...

[pyrotwilight]

Dick: *In retrospect bringing Colin as an intermediary might've been a good idea*

[bluefall]

I'm torn between disliking how mean-spirited and cleverly cruel (and of course vaguely sexist, even if it is primarily Damian's sexism it relies on) and therefore un-Impulse Bart's comment is, and loving he and Rose to microscopic pieces for that brilliant little exchange.

[ravenous_raven]

So basically Dick's fed up with Damian and leaving him to the Titans to deal with? Not cool, Dick, not cool.

[fifthie]

I'm glad they made the correct decision to put this terrible character on this terrible team.

[proteus_lives]

I can see Rose and Damian ending up friends.

[fifthie]

Also what's up with artists these days draws Conner as being just like, completely vacant. First in that Superboy comic and now here, it's weird.

[mullon]

Come on Ravager, kick his smug little ass.

[aeolos_sakya]

I know the fight will be stopped, but I want Ravager to kick Damian's ass.
I like Damian, but I really want to see him lose for once.

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

There is no way this doesn't end with Damien having a crush on Rose.

[majingojira]

You know what I want?

I want Damien to beat Ravager up.

And she doesn't fight back.

She just takes it. When the other Titants and/or dick pick him off her she gets right up afterwards and then says something along the lines of this:

Rose: "Thanks for proving my point for me, "Chick"."
Damien: "What?"
Rose: "Not only did you show you'd be an even worse leader than me, but I gave you 10 seconds to knock me out and look, I'm still standing. You can't lead AND you can't fight. What the hell do you think you're gonna do here?"

[dreamreaver]

Is it just me, or is Nicola Scott's art here...subpar? Too bad, because I usually really like it.

[sun_man]

JT Krul just doesn't get Damian this is sad

[timgueugen]

Look at Batman's stomach in the first panel. You can see his navel. I didn't think his outfit was that tight.
