Titans Vol. 2: The Dark-Winged Queen

Amanda Waller’s plan for the DC Universe is slowly coming to light, and the Titans are among the first in the crosshairs!

When Beast Boy’s powers inadvertently cause a devastating plague to sweep the globe, the Titans must rely on every avenue of help they can find to save both humanity and their friend. Unfortunately, the level of fear and paranoia the catastrophe leaves in its wake makes them public enemy number one — and first on Amanda Waller’s hit list! 

And to make matters worse, some of the Titans own have been acting a little… odd, since Beast Boy’s return. It’s possible that things are even worse than they seem, and that Gar’s miraculous recovery may have had some hidden costs! Don’t miss the conclusion of visionary writer Tom Taylor’s epic run in this collected edition, including issues #8-15!
