Titans Annual #2 cover by Paul Pelletier, Andrew Hennessy, and Adriano Lucas
A fairly sweet ending I given to the villains. The dialogue between Arsenal and Nightwing is cocky and full of "I told you so's." It's entertaining Mallah's huffing and puffing about Brain's distance and arrogance does veer dangerously close to the realm of melodrama, but it never fully crosses that line. Titans Annual #2 art by Tom[...]
