A Surprising Recommendation

X’hal help me, but I actually enjoyed the fourth digital Teen Titans Go! comic, despite it being based on the amoral TV cartoon of the same name.

In this story, after the Titans catch Captain Cold, Robin…catches cold.

DC Digital seems to have lost the understanding of how to use ComiXology’s “Guided View” technology that it demonstrated in the earliest Batman 66 installments, but artist Jorge Corona gets its potential, and the overly shifty panels don’t interfere with the story too much.

It helps that writer Merrill Hagan’s story shows the Titans actually trying to help other people, whether by fighting villains or viruses. (Cyborg and Beast Boy are less altruistic than the others, but even they do some heroics.) Unlike so many of the TV stories, this tale isn’t driven by simple hunger or ego or other base urges.

In addition, there’s a dig at the New 52 Universe and a look at this Robin’s bedroom in this Titans Tower. He, too, has his original costume in a glass case—but apparently as a warning of what not to wear.
