Randal Reviews: Titans #1
April 10th, 2008 RandalWelcome, to what may or may not be the first of many solo reviews done by me, Randal. You should probably expect a LOT of sarcasm or just ridiculous love of thinsg that make no sense. But mostly, sarcasm.
To start things off, we’re taking a look at Judd Winnick’s Titans #1 with art by Ian Churchill.
I’ve made it clear in the past in reviews and podcasts long since gone by that I don’t really have any love for Judd Winnick. Don’t get me wrong, I liked Exiles and the first 10 or so issues of his Green Lantern run, but that was how many years ago? And I haven’t liked a thing since. He kind of has this tendency to constantly need to throw something big and flashy and shocking and controversial into every story on every book. Homosexual characters that are clearly just forced there for the same of it and fail to add to the story, rape victims, aids, drug abuse, child slavery, I mean this is the guy who had a special gust appearance from John Walsh in his title. But this is about the Titans, a group of established heroes with very defined characteristics quarks and history’s, can’t make any of them gay out of the blue, or give them aids as most of them are parts of important properties, what could possibly go wrong?
