Message-ID: <787@milo.UUCP> Date: Sat, 22-Dec-84 10:26:45 EST Article-I.D.: milo.787 Posted: Sat Dec 22 10:26:45 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 25-Dec-84 02:47:47 EST References: <425@mhuxt.UUCP> Distribution: net Organization: JHU/Applied Physics Lab, Laurel, MD Lines: 16 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). -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!milo!eric
