Great story. I love team ups. And Im glad Silas is finally behind bars and not on the run around any more.....for a while at least. We all know how comic books work though....all comic book prisons are easy to break out of and hard to get put into.

A very satisfying ending to this four part cross-over. I'm very pleased to see Terra finally with the Teen Titans, although I could have stayed completely engrossed had Jay went into detail on exactly what Terra's first impressions were under the magic of the lasso. That would have been a fun scene.

Not sure what is going on with Cheshire and Speedy, and I kind of felt that Cheshire's dialogue was just a bit off a few times, but no where near enough to take away from a well written and obviously well thought out story.

5 stars to everyone involved. The Teen Titans remain one of my favorite reads of the month, and not just because I usually get to edit it, either.

Lets see here, Tara and BB, Roy and Chesh, lots of action and a sad end for Gregor. I hagve to say this was a great end for this crossover

AWSOME cover, Ramon!

[arcalian]

Aye, I told him in PMs how impressive it was. What I didn't realize until just now is how much it invokes the Resistance style split-cover device I've asked the cover artists over there to use on occasion. I didn't ask Ramon for that; he came up with it on his own.

This looks in some ways like the ink-washes Craig Cermak likes to do.

An interesting end to this team-up and it was servicable and gave us some wonderful character moments. But it wasn't a great ending and it that was disappointing. I thought the final battle scene ended a bit too abruptly. It felt like one scene should ahve wrapped it up, but was extended over to this last part to provide a fight scene here and a cliffhanger for part three. I think the fight scene could have been wrapped up in the last issue and left this issue for all sorts of expansions on the denouements in place.

I agree with Brian, seeing the conversation under the lasso would have been interesting, some fantastic opportunity for more character insights, not just into Terra but for Donna. I was surprised to see Dick order such an invasion of privacy, but I'm not against it either. I just wonder if and how it bites him in the ass. That whole sequence could have been more fleshed out I felt.

Same with Roy and Cheshire. Interesting scene, lots going on, but I felt some of it was rushed. I wonder if it should have been actually shortened to heighten the cryptic elements (the length given just made the "wink wink nudge nudge" comments grow irritating, like they knew the readers were waiting for detailed info and refused to give it), but it could have been fleshed out to give more of those answers too.

The funeral and the scene with the royal family were taut and excellent. Zenobia and Shayera are clearly using the same "Ice Queen Bitching Circle" messageboards. LOL I liked it though. I liked seeing Jace run, Silas caught and the impressions of the Titans provided by Tara during the scenes. Character-wise, some great lines and scenes, very enjoyable.

And Catman wishes to be more useful? he fought Cheshire to a standstil and doesn't feel useful? Dude, he needs a confidence booster! LOL

All in all, not a great last chapter, but a good one, and the storyline overall, with all its twists, turns, and hooks dangling for future tales of both titles, was excellent! Three stars for the chapter, but this was a solid, solid four star epic and one you should be proud of.

Take care
Don

Wait, Zenobia? Zenobia of... Wonder Woman?

[arcalian]

Haha, no Charlie, THAT Zenobia hasn't spent her life as a Markovian Royal. Zenobia was her actual name in the official DC comics, I looked it up.

Don, it is true that I couldn't give the final battle with pseudo-Omac the punch that I wanted it to have. I was trying to showing how tough it was. I wanted it to be awesome, but it merely ended up being long.

The Roy-Cheshire thing was foreseen from the start; it and the Tara-Gar and Cyborg-Silas dynamics were the underpinning subplots here (and of course Terra wanting to Get Out).

The Terra perspectives under the lasso were cut due to space considerations. I didn't want to focus on her too much, and also I didn't want the story to be Annual length. If anybody really wants my notes on Tara's thoughts on each team member at this point, I can PM them.

Tara doesn't hold the interrogation agianst Dick; she sort of understood his reasons. Though I didn't show it, she went through a lot worse at the hands of various government agencies before joining the Suicide Squad.

Phew, thanks Jay, that doesn't ruin an upcoming storyline then
