Some thoughts about Teen Titans #5

The Teen Titans are finally together.

Ra's Al Ghul's plans to manipulate his grandson are coming to fruition but he didn't expect him to have friends to help him fight against his legacy.

This initial arc has come to an end and is surprisingly still enjoyable.

Ben Percy delivers a new chapter where he continues to focus mainly on characterization. The plot is as simple as you can get and it has been told several times in the past, about how Damian tries to escape the legacy that either his mother or grandfather try to force on him but Percy still manages to make the story entertaining by making all the characters here likable.

All of the members of the cast contribute to make everything from either the personal moments or action scenes really engaging to read. The dialogue also works really well in that sense thanks to fun lines that depict the characters nicely while the plot progresses at a solid pace and culminates in a pretty solid and logical manner.

Khoi Pam remains in art duties and his work is unfortunately not great, some of the character models look unpolished and not particularly beautiful although the storytelling is decent.

Is shocking that for once the art is the worst part of a Ben Percy book. This is by far the best book he has written for DC (which is not saying a lot but still).
