Titans Beast World #1
Creative Team: Tom Taylor (W) Ivan Reis & Danny Miki (A)
Synopsis: Clawing its way out of the pages of Titans comes
an unprecedented threat to the DC Universe. Superman,
Wonder Woman, Starfire--all are powerless to stop the
Necrostar from ending all life on Earth. The only hero who
can save the world is...Beast Boy?! With Nightwing, Raven,
Cyborg, and the Titans beside him, can Garfield Logan rise
to battle an ancient evil? What will Amanda Waller do to take
advantage of the situation as millions of people are changed
into rampaging creatures? Can humanity survive all-powerful
heroes and villains transformed into ferocious beasts? Friends
will fall. Heroes will rise. And nothing will ever be the same
again. Earth is about to become...Beast World. DC proudly
presents the Titans' first crossover as the world's premier
superhero team, with universe-shattering repercussions. This
story promises to be an epic one that sets the stage for what's
to come for the DCU!
Score: 9.8 (Near Mint/Mint-- I personally don't like recommending event books especially since this cost $5.99+. So far the story is pretty solid. It kinda reminded me of how good Deceased started. Also, I really think Tom Taylor hates Batman 😅. Art is fantastic! Lastly, a new character & I hate Amanda Waller. She's extremely overused & starting to act out of character.
