Titans: Beast World

I am really impressed. This is a great crossover book important to the DC universe, but it is also great for the Titans series itself. Great story, artwork, and lot of action.The Titans have to face their first crisis event since they officially took over from the Justice League. Brother Eternity makes his move. What is his master plan? Who is he really, and what is his connection to a certain Titan? What other forces are at work behind the Titans and the world?It's a great book, not just its own epic story, but has huge ramifications throughout the DC universe and the Titans. All the Titans have a chance to shine, slightly more character development for some characters over others, but there are big things to come and lots of time in this series. The book finishes with characters' design sketches.

I really enjoyed this and unlike some other crossover events it didn't require reading several other series to understand the plot. The premise is simple -there is a villain, the villain is defeated, a problem occurs as the result of the defeat which then has to be dealt with.This really is just a Titan story though with help from Detective Chimp, Batgirl and Jon Kent's Superman. Several of the other major heroes are glimpsed such as Batman, Wonderwoman, the Superman family, the Shazam family, though rarely speak.As with a lot of world ending events, the threat is quickly resolved in the last 2 or 3 pages, which always feels rushed.Overall it's one of the best storylines I've read in graphic novels.
