Titans: Rebirth #1

Wally West's return to the DCU continues in Titans: Rebirth #1. After being pulled back into existence by Barry Allen in DC Universe: Rebirth #1, Wally gets a spiffy new costume and sets out to find his old teammates: the original Teen Titans. Of course this is problematic as none of his old friends knows who Wally is.

At first mistaking him for a threat, the group attempts to put the speedster down. But as each member comes into contact with their former ally a spark of recognition (hey, I'm not above using a pun when appropriate) brings back memories of their forgotten friend.

I'm happy to see Donna Troy back in action once again and I'm on-board with DC's choice to not only put Dick Grayson back in the Nightwing costume but the far superior blue version made popular before the launch of the New 52. Aqualad, Speedy, and Beast Boy are obvious choices, although Lilith Clay's inclusion did surprise me. Mostly set-up, I'll be curious to see what the new Titans comic has in store for the team. Throwing Nighwing, Wally, and Donna together in the same book is enough to keep my interest for at least a few issues. Worth a look.
