Women Wednesday: Mera on Titans: Beast World Tour: Atlantis #1 Cover

Mera is on the cover of Titans: Beast World Tour: Atlantis #1 that hits the newsstands this week from DC Comics. Aquaman appears is featured in the first story along with Mera and Garth aka Aqualad aka Tempest. To be honest, I'm not sure exactly what Garth is going by now. Jackson Hyde aka the new Aqualad, makes an appearance towards the end. There is also a second story featuring Vixen and Manta. The third story features Mera and Jackson Hyde aka Aqualad 2.

HBO Max Cancels Titans and Doom Patrol

 I was just starting to get into both shows but I'm not surprised.

Convergence: The Titans #2

The cover of Convergence: The Titans #2 (July 2015) is pretty cool with Arsenel, Starfire and Donna Troy battling Dreamslayer of the Extremists:

Arsenal leaves the main fight with his daughter, Lian. Dreamslayer follows them to Roy's bunker. They start battling for Lian's existence:

The issue switches back and forth from Roy's battle to the rest of the Titans battling the rest of the Extremists:

Overall, the story was good but not great. The interior artwork was better than expected. I felt like I was reading the second issue of The Titans battling the Extremists with touching moments between father and daughter. It did have a happy ending with everybody but Arsenal heading to the main fight in Convergence #6.

Convergence: The Titans #1

Convergence: The Titans #1 (June 15) should really have been titled Convergence: Arsenal #1 because the issue is mostly about the pre-Flashpoint Roy Harper aka Speedy aka Arsenal. Sure, Donna Troy aka Wonder Girl aka Darkstar (I think she had more identities than Roy) and Starfire also appear but they take a back seat to Roy's whining about having one arm. His daughter, Lian, is still dead. The issue never explains what they were doing in Gotham City when the dome came down in the first place. Roy built a secret weapons arsenal and tapped into the communication lines.

Donna Troy and Starfire fly together again straight towards the supervillain group known as the Extremists that consists of Gorgon, Lord Havok, Dreamslayer, Tracer and Diehard:

The end of the issue leaves on a rather unsettling cliffhanger that I won't spoil here.

Even the Who's Who two pager is all about Arsenal:

I was never fond of how Roy was treated towards the end of the pre-Flashpoint era of DC Comics. I think he deserved better then and now. Maybe he will in the next issue but I rather see more of Donna Troy and Starfire.
