Titans: A Judas Among Us Review

Finished reading Titans: A Judas Among Us, with the events of Lazarus Contact behind them the team find themselves in conflict with one another along with some of the team members relationships being developed further. The book opens with the teams resident telepath Lilith Clay going to meet with Psimon in hopes to get some answers to where H.I.V.E. hid the memories of their teammate Karen Duncan when she finds out that there is a possible traitor within the team. After infiltrating a H.I.V.E. facility and find nothing on the whereabouts of Karen's memories and with everyone knowing that there is a traitor in the team, tensions are high thanks to the amount of distrust leading to Nightwing to use some tech from his Spyral days in hopes to find the traitor which leads to the team heading for H.I.V.E.'s main base of operations to discover some more sinister to be afoot. Overall this was a great book as writer Dan Abnett continues the team's fight against H.I.V.E. with their goal to retire the memories of one of their own members which brings back some of the villains the team has faced while the main villain of the story is a nice twist to what the book sets up and brings an interesting conflict to the book. There is a great amount of character development with how each team member deal with the events of the book and how their relationships are being developed with Garth and Lilith become a couple and friendships being strained between Donna, Wally and Roy when Roy notices Wally and Donna together. The art throughout the book is amazing as each art team is able to deliver on the action with each Titans member's powers and abilities being very prominent. While the more character driven moments are brought to life with a great amount of focus on the factual expressions of each character. 8.5/10.
