Notes:
(1) I always do appreciate when plots make sense. Though the evil scheme here is a bit too circuitous and luck-dependent for me.
- Complicated doesn't always mean good.
(2) Is it too much to ask for "Teen Titans" to be fun? As bad as the earlier Scott Lobdell run was, at least it didn't feel flat.
- If not for the art, I don't know whether I'd care at all about this.

Notes:
(1) I always have high hopes that they can make Bunker a cool character... but then the guy gets no backstory, no explanation of his powers, and gets written like a total stereotype.
(2) I guess the story is the Teen Titans become social media celebrities. Eh, whatever.
- [insert meme] "How do you do, fellow kids?"
(3) Why can't my favorite artists draw good stories?

I'm curious what I'll think about this by the end of this too. I'm halfway in, and it's been a mixed-bag. I thought the first issue was pretty good: bread and butter, superheroes doing heroic stuff and saving the day. After that, though, it gets all into internet celebrity and cults of personalities, and the like. I don't find any of that sort of social commentary interesting at all. Plus, you don't really get a clear sense of who the villains are. Hopefully, the second half gets better.
