Anybody paying the kind of close attention they probably aren’t paying because this isn’t about them might notice that I skipped The New Titans #60 and #61. That’s because I don’t own them. They’re two parts of the five part A Lonely Place of Dying which just happened to come out in the fall of my first year of college. So instead of being anywhere near my local comic book shop, I was in Portland and had other things to do than instantly find a new local shop. By the time I got around to finding Pegasus Comics (now, apparently, Things From Another World) to pick up any back issues I’d missed, A Lonely Place of Dying was either sold out or already being sold for way more than cover price. Speculation may not have ramped up into a frenzy but it was good enough to sellout Batman books, especially when they had plots dramatically changing things up with the characters.
Or, you know, I had them stored in another box with the rest of "A Lonely Place of Dying" and will eventually get around to reviewing them in 2019 and you've read those reviews in order and you just read the opening to this review and were thinking, "What the fuck is this delusional idiot talking about?" Well, sirs and ladies, I am not delusional. I'm just unstuck in time.
This issue reintroduces Deathstork into the mix because by the end of the year (or sometime in the next), he’d be starring in his own series. I’ll be rereading those in conjunction with the Titans books when I get to that time. And then the Team Titans come around and I’ll have to dig out those too! So basically, I’ll still be reading a shit-ton of Wildebeest stories.
This story is a bit of a Wildebeest-Lite story. No Wildebeest but a conspiracy of Wererat movers and shakers who are reminiscent of Wildebeest. They look like The Hyena but he’s a Firestorm foe which is why I’m not mentioning him anymore.
Also, the Titans have stumbled into a situation that will involve them saving people’s lives and acting heroic. Lucky them! Unless all of their fathers turn out to be Wererats too. Which is totally possible.
