Some thoughts about Titans #2

How can the Titans deal with the death of one of their members?

It seems like Wally has been murdered and while they're trying to figure out what happened, one of their oldest enemies is planning a brand new way to expand their power.

Some things are improving at the very least but not to the point that I would call this "great".

Tom Taylor offers a new installment where he explores more about the dynamic between the cast and in that regard I believe that the job here is solid. The interactions between the characters is well-done and logical based on the years of experience and friendship they share (although I do find a bit forced that Nightwing has his own plans to defeat his friends just like Batman). Plus, this issue offers more content than the opening chapter which is weird but appreciated at least.

On the other hand, while there's more content is not like the story is progressing that much. The "mystery" about Wally's death was quickly ignored after a while because of the quick appearance of Wally himself (I mean, I knew that he wasn't going to stay dead for long but for God's sake, couldn't have they waited a little bit to give this moment some weight). Plus, while the new take on Brother Blood is interesting, I don't really dig that Taylor calls religions "shameless cash grabs" and I don't trust him to actually make a compelling argument about it, it feels like his typical "progressive" material that achieves nothing at the end.

Nicola Scott's artwork is pretty solid in terms of storytelling and expressions but at times feels a little rushed for some reason.

Not bad but yeah, still a mixed bag.
