Teen Titans, Vol. 4: The Future is Now by Mark Waid, Geoff Johns
4.0

I'm starting to enjoy Johns Titans a bit more, but it isn't without problems.

I dunno why Legion has such a huge following, I tried a few of their books, and all were dull. This is the same. I didn't like the Teen Ttitans/Legions crossover. They were boring characters, not really interesting, and it got wrapped up way too quickly.

Then we jump into a actual interesting story where the Teen Titans basically meet their future selves. This is both exciting and fun, with the differences being large for some characters, while not so much for others. What I liked is their future selves all seemed believable, which isn't always the case with future storylines. But this storyline was great and was nice to see where James Tynion got his idea from for his detective comics run.

The last few issues deal with the fallout of secret identity storyline. Mostly focused on Tim losing his father in a rather touching issue of friendship and needing help. We also get a storyline on Doctor Light and he's one creepy motherfucker. I really liked what they did here and the surprise ending leads into some major events later down the line.

This is easily the best storyline so far in the series. Give me more of this please. Johns was able to craft a compelling story for everything after Legion.
