“Huh? What do you imply by Brother Eternity’s ‘true identification’?” you would possibly surprise. Properly, sure, it seems that Brother Eternity shouldn’t be who he claims he’s, which is a stunning growth, however surprises is usually a unhealthy factor when it makes the plot extra complicated.
When final we left the Titans, the long run homicide of Wally West was lamely thwarted simply earlier than Brother Eternity launched an initiative to ascertain a colony on the Saturn moon of Titan. Brother Eternity’s expedition by accident (or was it?) launched an imprisoned NecroStar to create havoc on Earth, resulting in the present Beast World crossover.
Now, the Titans are unfold throughout the Earth whereas Nightwing, Oracle, and Detective Chimp run Wolf-Batman via a sequence of checks to study the extent of Garro’s spore an infection. Immediately, a NecroStar-possessed Tempest unlocks Titan Tower’s defenses to let in Brother Eternity and a horde of Animorphs. Tempest fights Nightwing and Oracle whereas Starfire arrives to hit Brother Eternity head-on, revealing an previous acquaintance behind the brotherly face.
Who? Who’s it???
[SPOILER AHEAD]
Trouble Eternity is Xand’r, a member of the Tamaranean royal entourage, and he has a bone to choose with Starfire. On the one hand, Xand’r’s presence makes the NecroStar plot gadget extra logical. However, a Tamaranean grudge plot is not sensible when you think about Garro’s risk was partly orchestrated by Amanda Waller.
[END SPOILERS]
What this implies is that Brother Eternity and the NecroStar are half of a bigger revenge plot orchestrated by [REDACTED] (not Amanda Waller).
What’s nice about Titans #6? Tom Taylor’s plot feels extra pressing, directed, and purposeful than any of the prior points, which is the way it must be for EVERY difficulty. Taylor’s writing has been caught in a boring haze for almost two years, so hopefully the affect of the Beast World occasion is simply the kick to get Taylor’s writing again on observe.
What’s not so nice about Titans #6? Revealing Brother Eternity’s identification is a shock that finally makes the Beast World much more complicated as a result of it presumes that forces who don’t have any reference to one another are both in league with one another or there is a heck of a variety of coincidences happening.
If [REDACTED] and Amanda Waller are working collectively, why? What’s in it for both of them?
If [REDACTED] and Amanda Waller aren’t working collectively, how was Waller in a position to orchestrate a world plan on nothing greater than the pure coincidence that [REDACTED] would stage an assault?
The extra you consider all of the little touchpoints between Waller and [REDACTED]’s respective plans, the much less the Beast World crossover is sensible.
How’s the artwork? Travis Moore steps into this difficulty, away from the principle artist (Nicola Scott), and Moore’s model is a blessed improve. In an action-heavy difficulty, it behooves DC to have an artist who can mission motion, power, and facial appearing that portrays greater than sleepy boredom, so Moore is a transfer in the proper route.

Bits and Items:
Titans #6 offers readers loads of motion, stunning developments, and higher artwork as a key tie-in to the Beast World crossover. That stated, the largest shock of all, Brother Eternity’s true identification, throws a complicated monkey wrench into the center of the crossover with no clear manner out of the confusion.
