If anything, I enjoyed this more than the first, but I was hoping for more chemistry between Rose and Jason. Still, when Rose is caught up in Brother Blood's cult, Deathstroke asks the Titans to help - and of course, leaves out more than he should.
Another underwhelming issue, these short stories have no meat to their bones. It's just an insert villain here, titans get beat up off screen twice, bunch of preachy stuff about choices and hope.
Then the issue ends, it just feels too cookie cutter, there is no adult themes. Red Hood acts as if he's Nightwing, even though Nightwing is on the team so they push Nightwing to the side. The best part of this issue was Deathstroke, He wasn't badass but he brought some entertainment to a mediocre issue.
