Teen Titans Go! #3

/ / Comics

Teen Titans Go! #3Parties and business are the themes for the latest issue of Teen Titans Go! In the first story the team attempts to throw a party without a theme, a party-party, if you will. Leaving Starfire to handle the guest list leads to as many super-villains at the party as heroes.

The second story features Cyborg becoming a Bill Gates-style inventor and putting the rest of the Titans to work for his Silicon Valley start-up ChirpFolio. Although he shows no initial interest, eventually even Robin joins the team to cash-in on the profits. However the group’s overspending on blimps, diamond-encrusted bo-staffs, and ponies for Raven eventually brings the house of cards tumbling down.

The party story works a little better than Cyborg’s start-up (with references most young readers aren’t going to get), but Teen Titans Go! #3 delivers another fun issue based on the current cartoon. Worth a look.

/ / Comics

“I start fightin’ a war, I guarantee, you’ll see somethin’ new.”

Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #5As with many of Mal‘s plans, sneaking into a secret Alliance facility to rescue others like River Tam who were taken to be programmed into unstoppable killing machines gets the captain, Jayne, and their new friends in quite a bit of trouble when the scientist unleashes his prize possession against the intruders.

Featuring quite a bit of action and death as Browncoats go down to both the Alliance soldiers and the assassin, while the Operative finishes off another member of his ilk, Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #5 also offers a short flashback to “Out of Gas” as Mal dusts off the big red button to save the lives of himself and his crew one more time (and offers a nice cameo of Wash).

With only one issue remaining, and Zoe still locked in an Alliance prison somewhere, the Alliance has finally made Mal Reynolds angry enough to join the fight as both he and Bea discover just how many of the Browncoats the Alliance has killed. Worth a look.
