New Titans #40 Preview

 

Three days ago, Static’s girlfriend dumped him. Now, he’s traveled to a Hidden City in the Amazon. After glimpsing an ancient guardian of the forest that has slept for generations, Static has watched another Esquecida challenge Yara Flor for the title Wonder Girl.

 

Yara knows her spirits are depleted. With her city and people under threat, can the Titans help her and the Esquecida defend the Hidden City from the Yaguara? And is Commodore Murphy’s cure for a giant earthworm’s upset stomach connected with Eva’s fondness for “Bepto-Pismol?”

New Titans #39 Preview

 

Bringing talented people together may be easy. But getting them to work together is hard. While Batman’s shadow hangs over Nightwing and Batgirl, Terra rides Cyborg over his secret project in the Omega Forge. Then, Superman invites Static to join the group without getting anyone’s approval first. And then there is Eva, an android with a hidden past. She yearns to be Human. Yet she doesn’t understand why she keeps doing things wrong.

 

As the new teammates struggle to gel, Yara Flor dreams about her past. She knows she should act on the visions that plague her. Yet what she sees frightens her. How will Yara react when her past arrives to confront her in Mount Titans? And can the teammates that constantly rub each other the wrong way help Wonder Girl face her fears?

New Titans #38 Preview

 

When the people in your life don't want you, or only want you for what you can do for them, home becomes a liminal concept. Even if Cyborg selected him for his New Titans, Red Devil can't afford to believe it's forever. Nor should he. Cyborg and Nightwing have seen their friends leave. And with his future in Blüdhaven up in the air, Nightwing isn't even sure he belongs in Mount Titans

And then, there's the latest candidate for membership. Superman sought him out, and offered him a place in the team. But does Jon Kent speak for Cyborg and Nightwing? And after Amara broke off their relationship, is Static ready to commit to the New Titans?

Everything is new for the Titans. They've made a new home in the Justice League's former Secret Sanctuary. Everyone is new to working together. They've even got a new teammate in Eva, an android sporting advanced bio-robotics that are totally new to Cyborg.

 

Unfortunately, Cyborg is experimenting with something everyone knows and fears. And Red Devil has spotted someone in the nearby town of Happy Harbor who awakens bad memories. Can the New Titans gel together as friends and a team? And who will lead them? Let's leap into New Titans #37 and see!

 

Story: Home is Where the Heart of Apokolips is Part 2

Starfire has left the Titans. No one recognizes Nightwing’s authority. With Cyborg sequestered in his laboratory, Terra considers leaving. But when she ventures down into Cyborg’s Omega Forge, Terra sees what Cyborg doesn’t. A dragon is watching Cyborg work on his equipment powered by Darkseid’s Heart of Apokolips.

 

While her friends and neighbors sacrifice to help their town thrive, Officer Audrey Lee sees the evil in their pact with Nebiros. Unlike Cyborg, they’re unhappy when Red Devil alerts them to the dangers they face. So, while Cyborg and Terra fight together in the Justice League's former Secret Sanctuary, Red Devil and his new teammates battle the citizens of Happy Harbor in New Titans #37.

 

Tate Brombal highlights Red Devil’s origins while weaving events in the Secret Sanctuary into the clash in Happy Harbor. Amid all the action, Nightwing ponders whether he should follow Starfire's course. Nightwing has led the Titans in the past. Cyborg brought this new group together. But as the team changes, Red Devil and his colleagues must decide who will lead them into the future in New Titans #37.

 

Art: Home is Where the Heart of Apokolips is Part 2

Red Devil exhales fire as he remembers the events that defined him. After starring on the first page, Red Devil stands at the forefront on the second, his wings intruding on our view of Nebiros and his supporters. Yet Batgirl steals the bottom panel as she looks for her missing teammate. Amid the tense standoff, Officer Audrey Lee interposes herself between the heroes and her misguided neighbors. Yet a handcuff dangles from her wrist, indicating the town's feelings about her recent actions.

 

In Mount Titans, Terra and Cyborg gaze up at a dragon with many eyes. Despite his former blindness to the Dragon, Cyborg is quick to react. The fiery confrontation evokes the Terrific Ten’s recent incursion into Hell and suggests that the barriers between Earth and Hell are far from closed.

 

As Adriano Lucas adorns Marcus To’s action-packed art with a pleasing palette, the Red Devil and the Dragon seem linked together in New Titans #37. The orange lava surrounding the Dragon suggests that Cyborg wants more than he should have. Like Officer Audrey Lee, Wonder Girl and Superman wear grayish blue. Even though Nightwing wonders where he belongs, the blue portions of his costume shine brightly as he reacts to danger. Green Nebiros and Eva both want to bring people together. Yet as yellow fire erupts in Mount Titans and fills the sky over Happy Harbor, Batgirl’s indigo suit multiplies across pages as she capitalizes on her dedication in the Titans’ Training Simulator.

 

As black uppercase letters fill white balloons, Red Devil’s conversation fills yellow balloons, and his thoughts appear in yellow boxes. Terra, Nightwing, and Batgirl’s off-camera conversation appears in colored boxes and often guides readers from one page to the next. Red letters establish locations, while giant colored dialogue accompanies roaring, cries of dismay, and laughter. Tom Napolitano’s sound effects enhance the fighting, as energy blasts tear through the air, and a rumble shakes the Earth. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

Like Dick Grayson, Virgil Hawkins has a lot on his plate. But unlike Dick, Virgil struggles with telling his girlfriend about his superhero life. Amara senses the conflict within him. Yet whatever is going on, Virgil refuses to share it with her. In Tate Brombal and Sam Basri’s bonus story “The Spark,” Static has some thinking to do. And as with all the residents of Mount Titans, it involves where he belongs in New Titans #37.

Jon left Lois Lane as a boy, but returned a man. She missed watching her son grow up. But when a masked man brought Jon back to her, de-aged to how Lois last saw him before he returned as an adult, her journalistic instincts kicked in. Lois isn't alone in doubting that young Jon is her son. As Jon Kent disguises his features, "Tomorrow Man" struggles to see himself in the boy. Yet, Jon's return hits Damian Wayne hardest. He lost his friend. And when young Jon returned, he showed no interest in resuming their friendship.

 

Regardless of how others feel about him, young Jon seemed committed to being a hero. Then he saw what Lois and John Henry did to Beppo. And suddenly, the boy realized what the people responsible for protecting him planned to do to him. Can anyone control an enraged Superboy? And how are John Henry and Lana doing after the accident at Steelworks? Let's stop by a phone booth, leap into Superman Unlimited #15, and see!

 

Story

While Green Kryptonite can exert a toxic effect on Humans, it doesn’t normally empower them. Yet when Dabney Donovan’s clones injected Beppo with a Green-K serum, the chimpanzee became stronger than Jon Kent. After how Ultraman tortured him, Superboy identified with the chimpanzee. But instead of returning him to Bibbo Bibbowski, John Henry Irons incarcerated Beppo in a red sun enclosure. So, when young Jon discovers that Irons and his “mother” plan to incarcerate and experiment on him, the boy who was tortured in a volcano grabs John Henry’s hammer and attacks Tomorrow Man.

 

While Jon Kent tries to reason with his younger self, Superboy feels betrayed in Superman Unlimited #15. Jon suspects that this boy isn’t him. Yet they look the same and share similar fears after Ultraman tortured them both in a volcano. While young Jon feels betrayed by Tomorrow Man and Lois Lane, Damian Wayne is also outraged. When Jon Kent returned older after a trip through time, Damian felt like he had lost his best friend. Damian sees the boy as an imposter who defiles his memories of Jon and likely intends great harm to his world.

 

While young Jon experiences the pain of betrayal and rejection, Beppo's blood sample spurs explosive growth in John Henry's stockpile of El Calderan Green Kryptonite. The results of John Henry's scientific research endanger Lana, altering his wife's metahuman form. Just as young Jon demonstrates unrivaled superstrength when angry, Dan Slott’s action thriller reveals the dangers of El Calderan Green K. Far from being gifts to Jon and Humanity, young Jon and the mountain of Green K threaten to extract a heavy toll on Earth in Superman Unlimited #15. 

 

Art

As Superboy attacks Jon Kent with his hammer, John Henry Irons activates the controls to ensure Beppo doesn’t break free of his containment. Yet crystals sprout from the floors, walls, and ceilings of the building. While threatening everyone, a blast shield traps Beppo in a windowless container where he can be impaled without warning. Agitated, Lois's breath condenses inside her transparent helmet as she speaks into her cellphone. Jonathan and Martha listen to the landline receiver in their home. As Krypto and the Supermobile soar into the sky, Jonathan touches a tablet, activating nearby severe weather sirens.

 

As giant Green-K crystals also erupt from the ground outside, Giuliano Peratelli adorns Lucas Meyer’s apocalyptic visions with vibrant color in Superman Unlimited #15. While the red containment field imprisons a raging Beppo, Superboy’s eyes glow red as his hammer hurls Tomorrow Man into red shadow. Yet when Superboy’s ire cools, his blue suit links him with Batman as two people who suffered childhood trials and wish to protect others from experiencing similar horrors. While red links Robin and other heroes, the green portions of his suit shine as vibrantly as Lana Lang. Yet in this story of overcoming obstacles and transformation, the shape of Robin's cape and its interior color indicate that Tomorrow Man was thinking of yesterday when he chose his new costume.

 

Dave Sharpe places uppercase black dialogue in white dialogue balloons and offscreen dialogue in colored narrative boxes. Words grow bold for intonation, swell for raised voices, and shrink for lowered voices. Shaky lines of text and slithering arrows suggest shock and fatigue. Sound effects accompany hammer blows, midair collisions, and alerts as laughter fills the air. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.  

 

Final Thoughts

Jon Kent risked a reality-threatening paradox to mentor a younger version of himself. Yet Batman, who suspected young Jon’s identity all along, congratulated his son for recognizing a villain in disguise. As “Superboy” unleashes his anger on “Tomorrow Man” when he believes he betrayed him, heroes confront the dangers of seeing ourselves in others in Superman Unlimited #15.

As he sat in his comfortable Tower, drinking coffee with his teammates and battling the villains that assailed him, Dick forgot that the Titans had sacrificed their Towers to transport refugees to other planets. So, when Victor Stone and his new team rescue him and Starfire, Dick awakens in the Justice League's Secret Sanctuary. He finds Cyborg split into his Human and Machine halves. And Robo-Cyborg wants to imprison the entire Earth in pleasant memories, blinding Humans to an uncomfortable reality.

 

Like Victor, Dick knows dwelling in the past isn't the way forward. So, he steps back, allowing Batgirl to lead the battle, while Victor tries to help Robo-Cyborg understand that the future is tomorrow. How will the New Titans prepare Earth for Darkseid’s return? And how will they unite as a team? Let’s leap into New Titans #36 and see!

 

Story

Eva may be the Girl of Tomorrow. But when she sleeps, she dreams of dying. When she awakens, Cyborg comforts her. While conducting sleep studies, he yearns to understand her. Cyborg wonders who constructed her. Unless someone conducts medical scans of her, Eva appears Human.

 

In New Titans #36, Eva discovers that Humans don't always get along. Despite her efforts to help the team gel, it seems to be fraying before her android eyes. Nightwing wants to embrace the challenges ahead. Yet, he didn't select his new teammates. No longer surrounded by her friends, Starfire wonders if Mount Titans can be her new home. And while Terra struggles to commit to the team, Cyborg's handpicked newbies also need to bond.

 

Like the Justice League, the Titans’ membership is in flux. Eva wants to help them gel. But her origins are a mystery, and Eva doesn't even know who she is. Yet the person who selected them, and usurped leadership of the team, buries himself in his work. Victor Stone assures Eva that her amnesia is no big deal and leaves his drafted-in players to fend for themselves in New Titans #36.

 

Art

As Eva falls from one explosion toward another, a hand captures and cradles her injured body. A curving road suggests her past, while her bloody chest and the bubbles surrounding her face hint at new beginnings. As wires and conduits connect sensors to laboratory equipment, Eva presses her hand to her forehead, while Victor studies the monitors.

 

Inside the giant A-Frame emerging from a mountain, Nightwing smiles in his blue suit as he gazes around the new headquarters. Terra crosses her arms over her yellow-and-black chest and frowns. Starfire slowly descends to the floor. A circular table pays homage to the Justice League's predecessors, while Eva's white hologram rises from its center.

 

As Marcus To charts the new team's uneasy beginning, Adriano Lucas adorns New Titans #36 with a lively palette. Eva's green schoolgirl outfit evokes Beast Boy, reinforcing her eagerness to bond with her team. Despite his red skin and the red walls of his bedroom, the green-tinged flames rising from meditation candles suggest Red Devil's willingness to belong. Stephanie's indigo Batsuit seems to link her with Starfire. But when Starfire meets Nightwing outside, her orange hair links with her dialogue as the ocean adjusts to her emotions. Despite his recent return to completeness, the red eye that glows amid the silver side of Cyborg’s frowning face evokes an earlier concern about Technis.

 

Tom Napolitano places uppercase black letters in white and beige balloons, while Red Devil speaks into beige balloons. Eva’s thoughts fill green boxes with violet borders, while her dialogue shrinks when the young android’s head falls. As Terra struggles with commitment, yellow sound effects and lines surround her. Yet buzzing and floating music notes seem no cause for concern as revelations await. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

Victor Stone may have urged his Robo-Cyborg half to accept the inevitability of Darkseid's return. Yet with absent members, drafted-in replacements, and part-time teammates, Victor and his team lack direction while danger still threatens them in New Titans #36.
