On his own, Gar Logan returns to Hollywood to resurrect his
acting career. What he doesn't expect is to find himself behind
bars, framed for a crime he didn't commit. Worse, his only
hope for acquittal rests with the somewhat scatterbrained
wannabe Titan Flamebird. In a separate adventure, Gar is suddenly
normal, no longer able to assume animal form. When the children
of San Francisco begin exhibiting his abilities, the Titans
have to calm an angry and frightened populace and figure out
what happened. And when they do, Gar's world is rocked...
Beast
Boys & Girls is
mainly concerned with the exploits of Beast Boy. So, if you
like this character - and, let's face it, who doesn't? - you'll
enjoy this collection.
This
collection is tongue-in-cheek for the most part. The first
tale sees Beast Boy arrested for a crime he pleads innocent
to - but how many people are there that can change into green
beasts? The other story sees Beast Boy loose his super powers,
in fact he looses his colour and becomes normal. But, for
some reason, hundreds of innocent children seem to have contracted
his condition and there are all kinds of animals running amok.
There
is plenty going on this collection, in fact maybe a bit too
much. There are a number of background stories which could
have easily been turned into main plots.
Flamebird
has to be about the most annoying, do-gooder, airhead, superhero
ever created. She means well, but is a pain in everyone's
rear end. It was a shame that she wasn't used a little more,
as I really grew to like this annoying character.
This
is a worthy addition to the Teen Titan stable. It's
fun, gripping, and well plotted.
