This review is from: Teen Titans: On the Clock (Paperback)

This edition centers mostly on the maturation of Kid Devil and Miss Martian's (my favorite), continuing battle with her future self that has invaded her mind and is trying to take over.

Kid Devil likes Rose (Ravager), hates the Blue Beetle who Rose likes hanging out with, and always seems to be on Robin's bad side during team missions. He's desperately seeking the approval of his team mates and the story arc is very interesting.

Megan (MIss Martian), continues to battle her evil, future alter-ego and tries to create the life of a being a normal, human, school-going teen, but it isn't going to be that easy.

Comics back in the 70's and 80's were so "save-the-day-everybody's-happy-in-the-end" oriented, but the Teen Titans broke a lot of that mold with their return in the New Teen Titans in 1983.

I've always enjoyed the personal battles, the character conflicts, and the internal emotional struggles of the group, whoever the members were at the time. This issue is no different, although I'm not sure how much I like the Miss Martian arc because I get tired of characters I really warm up to going bad (aka Terra).

If you're a Teen Titans fan, this issue is for you.

Good story, good art. In short, I like it.

I was surprised by the link with Seven Soldiers of Victory, and hence, Final Crisis. Is not a huge link but is there and I enjoyed it.

As usual is cool to see the kids doing their "teen" thing and then saving the city. I find miself liking Kid Devil a lot. I hope writers make him justice in the future because he shows much potential.

I'm glad I got all Teen Titans books until this one. It made me wanna get the rest too.

Very good fun read. If your following the Teen Titans you should get this one for sure.

I actually enjoyed this story arc more than I thought I would.
I will confess that I am not a fan of MissMartian and I really quite frankly hate the Blue Beetle character.
I also wasn't too sure about the new villian either on first flipping through the book.
That being said, I found that I really enjoyed the story and was caught up in it. The artwork was really good too.
The villian turned out to be pleasnt susprise and I would welcome his return.
Although I would be happy to see two team members leave and never hear from them again (MsMartian and Blue Beetle), their annoyance and story points were only a mild distraction from an overall very solid outing.
