Some thoughts about World's Finest: Teen Titans #2

Can the Teen Titans face the biggest fears from their generation?

The team is looking for a girl who has disappeared for no apparent reason and the case will lead them a strange house where there's a mysterious psychic power coming.

Well, this wasn't as strong as the opening issue but still fine.

Mark Waid continues his retelling of the early days of the Teen Titans by exploring even more of the relationships between the characters. The introduction of Mal, Gnarrk and Lilith is appreciated considering their roles in the pre-New Teen Titans era and they're involved in the story in logical ways, plus we see how the relationship between Donna and Garth works as well as Robin getting even more paranoid for his team. If there's a complaint here is that Bumblebee being instantly infatuated by Mal is a bit predictable since is something that Waid tends to do with female characters but eh, doesn't really ruin the read.

The story focuses on the typical insecurities that teenagers face and in that sense does a good job and actually reflects nicely in a few characters like Garth feeling bad because he's not from the surface and Donna feeling rejected by her own people. My biggest complaint here is that Roy suffers bullying from a random shadow monster and I feel like this was a wasted opportunity to explore more about his own problems and give a bigger insight on his character.

Emanuela Lupacchino remains in art duties and her work is still beautiful with expressive characters and a vibrant style.

Decent read, hope the next one offers even more of the interactions between the characters.
