The Story: The Bat Pack search for clues to reveal the secret identity of Red X.
Chupacabra narrates the adventures of the Bat Pack. They interrogate several students and eventually find themselves in an unanticipated situation. When the investigation of a surprising student goes awry, an adult Titan warns them to stop their search. Later, they encounter someone unexpected.
The Story: Sheridan creates a young and energetic narrative filled with excitement. This chapter focuses on the junior Teen Titans, and plays very well for an adolescent audience. The Bat Pack’s adventures are a fun introduction to detective work. And while it contains minimal danger, there is lots of action.
The Art: In this edition, tight and detailed drawing are enhanced by brilliant color work of mainly blue tones. Lieber and Stewart do a good job with creating a youthful atmosphere, while using a very mature art style. This issue is very transportive.
