Seeing the Titans together and well written always brings me joy. It was especially nice to see Arsenal at the front of a story.

I basically rate all of the Convergence stories based off of the last one I read before it. Catwoman came before this for me. This blew Catwoman out of the water. I have more of an affiliation and knowledge of Catwoman, I know jack about these characters, and the only incarnation I've ever seen of Starfire is from the Teen Titans cartoon (not Go). Having said that, I actually got a feeling for Donna (Wonder Girl, Troia, whatever you want to call her, they never address it), Kory (Starfire) and Roy (Arsenal, once Speedy). My biggest problem here is with the naming. Seriously? Kory, Roy, and (Donna) Troy? Who cam up with this combination? Otherwise, better storytelling in this one than a few of the others, and it didn't lean too hard on the, "this is the last year" business, it actually started doing something with the story. Thank goodness.

Mostly plot at this point, but nice to see some of the old titans again (Starfire!!).

I'm still not a fan of being fed a bunch of background information via boxes, but I still enjoyed this one a good deal.
