Article Summary

This Tuesday sees the publication of Titans #9 by Tom Taylor and Lucas Meyer and Nightwing #112 by Tom Taylor, Michael W. Conrad, Sami Basri and Francesco Francavilla. And both look at the impact of the Beast World event on Beast Boy, who took in the role of a Star Beast to defeat a Starro, only for the intervention of Amanda Waller to turn him into a threat to the world, infecting millions by turning them into beast forms. Now that his Garro form was defeated and most of Beast Boy was put back together, after it was split into billions of little versions of himself, he is getting attention from his nearest and dearest. Well, nearest anyway.
Getting the approving hand on shoulder from Batman that every Titan longs for.
Especially when his own partner and confident is actually trapped within her own head, and the demon who powers her crystal has taken front seat in a Get Out-style homage. And trying to fix Beast Boy in her own very distinct way. I think I'd prefer the hand on the shoulder…
Nightwing #112 and Titans #9, both written by Tom Taylor are both published tomorrow by DC Comics.

Around seven centuries ago, the Grayson name was born. A child of the Black Death. The story of revenge reaches its epic conclusion.
