	To understand Changeling's ("the green shape changing guy") motives,
you would have to know that only a few issues earlier, his girl friend was
revealed as a traitor to the Teen Titans and a psychopath. This has hit him very
hard, and has been shown in the companion book, these are teenagers, complete
with teenage problems and lack of stability (at least in some cases). This
has always seemed to be the problem with comic titles which develop characters,
rather than plot - if you come in in the middle, it can take a long time to
understand what is going on.

	As for other DC titles - Swamp Thing is a must (although, again, it
may take awhile to catch on to what has gone before).
