Hi ho, gang! Yes, i'm still alive. I got ill in February and was either in hospital or recovering and not allowed to drive til recently, and so missed the last couple issues of Teen Titans. But! Now I have both the ones I missed and the latest in hand! So I figure i'll do one post on the back issues and a separate post for the new. I have here six pages each from Teen Titans #28 and #29 - sounds like a lot, but there's at least one double-page splash from each ish.

You'll recall that when we left our merry band, the remaining Titans had joined Kid Flash and Solstice in the 31st century, where Bart was apprehended and put on trial. Being in the future enabled Bart to break through his Echo-created "witness protection" personality and become the evil revolutionary Bar Torr again, and submitting to the trial was part of his scheme - with all his world's power brokers gathered to watch him hang, his forces were able to strike at all of them at once, to the Titans' dismay.





Remember, unbeknownst to the gang, that's actually Harvest's boy Jon Lane Kent, not our Kon-El.

Suddenly!



Yes, that IS Bart's baby sister commanding the Functionary ship. Yes, she's supposed to have died in Bar's first big strike against the Functionary. How is she alive? Who knows? Who cares?

What does matter is that she talks Bar down from his high horse with reminiscences of their parents, and somehow this talk flips him back to his Bart Allen persona. Riddled with guilt, he stands meekly for the tribunal's judgment, which is predictable: Revocation of his Echo parole and life on the 31st-century prison planet Takron-Galtos.







Issue 29 opens with Kiran and Bart talking through the bars of holding cells aboard ship bound for Takron-Galtos.



Of course he's leading her into a trap, a kill box manned by his gang in the Culling.



That's also the first time Kiran went all Dark Solstice. She thought she was doomed forever, spiritually speaking, to be Harvest's creature. Bart is sorry, but tells her he's not worth life imprisonment in a strange future world.



Red Robin shows up and bids them a sad goodbye, and the ship jettisons them to the surface of the prison planet.

Raven expresses her sympathy and makes a subtle play for Red Robin, but he's all about finding Cassie, who's in a rage. He calms her down and they decide to try coupledom - yes, it's as dull a scene as it sounds.

The team gets the local Echo representative to send them back to their own time, where...





Well, not all of them - they have a use for Solstice, since these are the light-absorbing twins who've been after Kiran since all the way back in #17.



Stay tuned, gentle readers! Same Titan time, same Titan channel!
