Tom Taylor’s Titans Vol. 1: Out of the Shadows perhaps overcorrects on a variety of issues that have plagued Titans titles for a while, even comics in general. The result — a concern I’ve leveled at a variety of Taylor’s mainstream DC titles of late — is a book that both manages to accomplish a lot of great things and also feels rather milquetoast.
I applaud Taylor’s approach — free of angst, with the Titans acting like professionals, and presenting a new breed of superteam concerned with more than just punching bad guys; the question is whether all that can be done in a book that also grips the reader.
