The Ravagers #1 Review

The Ravagers #1 Review

“Children of Destiny”

In DC’s newest “New 52“, Dr. Fairchild helps many of the Teen Titans escape the prison and scientific lab, N.O.W.H.E.R.E. Unfortunately escape came at a price with many of the teens losing their lives in the process. Because of Fairchild’s earlier involvement with experiments on the teens, with the intention of making them Ravager killing machines, trust and leadership is hard to come by within the group. After the already small group becomes separated because of this distrust, Fairchild is left with only a select few to defend her and the last of the teens against the deadly assassins, Rose and Warblade.

The Ravagers is the weakest of the “New 52” that I’ve read so far, there’s actually spelling and grammar errors in this book. But even if you forget about the errors, the fact still remains that The Ravagers story just isn’t that interesting to me. Each character isn’t well developed, if their names weren’t on the front cover you probably wouldn’t remember them, and their lines are equally as forgettable. Fairchild and Ridge were the glue that held this book together. The art by Ian Churchill is classic and timeless but doesn’t throw out any “oos” and “ahs”. It’s definitely art that’s held up for a few decades, like music you’re not sure what year it’s from because it’s so deeply rooted in its genre. Does that make sense? Read it, you’ll understand what I’m saying.
