With the way this is written （:/）， you kind of have to elaborate on your own to figure out what led Tara to get mixed up with Deathstroke in the first place （if you care enough。 it's fair if you don't。 but "illegitimate daughter" and "human experimentation" are pretty juicy lines to draw from）。 Considering we only see her after Deathstroke started abusing her， I think every single one of her actions is understandable。Marv， you can't give me a rude obnoxious teen and not expect me to care her。 I With the way this is written （:/）， you kind of have to elaborate on your own to figure out what led Tara to get mixed up with Deathstroke in the first place （if you care enough。 it's fair if you don't。 but "illegitimate daughter" and "human experimentation" are pretty juicy lines to draw from）。 Considering we only see her after Deathstroke started abusing her， I think every single one of her actions is understandable。Marv， you can't give me a rude obnoxious teen and not expect me to care her。 I do like this story in general （it makes a lot more sense having read the previous NTT issues）。 I love Joey， and I also love seeing baby Joey and Grant， so at least the Deathstroke backstory gave us that。 I give the version of Judas Contract that I've made in my mind after reading it 5 out of 5 stars。 What's written on the page is a 3 out of 5 stars。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Fue una historia demasiado interesante。 Vemos el crecimiento de dick， que deja su manto de robín para convertirse en nigthwing。 El final tan intenso。 Aunque me desagradaron muchos de los comentarios que hacía gar， se me hizo un personaje carismático。 En general es una buena historia， aveces se hace lenta， pero el final vale la pena

This is a fine book but it just hasn't aged well。 Maybe I'd enjoy it if I read this ten years ago and Beastboy's antics didn't make me want to unalive him。 This is a fine book but it just hasn't aged well。 Maybe I'd enjoy it if I read this ten years ago and Beastboy's antics didn't make me want to unalive him。 。。。more

Realmente Bof。 Mucho mucho mucho texto y diálogo que no aportan a la lectura。 Lo hacen denso y pesado sin real contenido。

There were technically two stories in here: The Judas Contract and an extended prologue involving the Titans taking on Brother Blood and his cult。 Despite being the end of a Titan Era， they worked well as a standalone story。I like them including the Brother Blood story for two reasons。 （1） it already shows Terra is planning on betraying them， which builds greater tension during the mission （especially seeing her raw power） and foreshadows the eventual plot of the Judas Contract and （2） it gives There were technically two stories in here: The Judas Contract and an extended prologue involving the Titans taking on Brother Blood and his cult。 Despite being the end of a Titan Era， they worked well as a standalone story。I like them including the Brother Blood story for two reasons。 （1） it already shows Terra is planning on betraying them， which builds greater tension during the mission （especially seeing her raw power） and foreshadows the eventual plot of the Judas Contract and （2） it gives a non-comic reader context via a "day in the life" scenario with the Titans。 But what about the quality of the story itself？It was okay。 It was a little hard to believe how easily Brother Blood was able to sway the public into thinking he was a good and kind religious leader。 His words worked （kinda） and the way he presented himself via actions was okay。。。 but that name。。。 and outfit。 When your dress-code screams 90s comic book villain， please change before the press release！ Also Beast Boy came off as a bit of a perv in his flirting， so a lot of his humor was lost on me。 Luckily， the rest of the Titans （and sometimes villains） had plenty of one-liners to go around （heck yeah！）。 The plot itself was pretty basic， which was fine as we really only cared about the action/next story。 Plus it showed how the characters worked together。Now as for the actual Judas Contract; it was pretty awesome， but hard to talk about without spoilers。 I love how coldhearted Terra is here。 While many have hated her being evil， it was clearly the point from the get go and I appreciate how the writers stuck to their guns。 It was a little creepy how she and Deathstroke were a thing， but thankfully all that twisted love story was off screen。 It was also cool seeing the origin of Nightwing in all its 90s glory！ I especially enjoyed his apartment fight/chase with Deathstroke。 Overall the action was pretty dated， but once you get past that， it was fun seeing how they used their powers to work together and solve problems。And I guess that sums up most of my thoughts on the Judas contract: It's dated。 If you hate or are less disposed towards older comics （like me）， you'll probably need to read a few before you can truly appreciate this one。 But if you are familiar and/or okay with older comics， this was a pretty fun ride。 。。。more

The origins of Deathstroke， Nightwing and the Titans， good old fashioned criminal cults， betrayal， identity crises and non-stop action… An amazing young superhero tale masterfully told。

I've never seen a story that aged so badly。My biggest issues are how Terra， as a character， is built on misogynistic stereotypes （she's a swallow， back-stabbing， self centered， irredeemable， ungrateful and hysterical b*tch， that breaks the good guy's heart and goes for the bad-guy etc etc） ， while the man that committed statutory rape with her is portrayed and a sympathetic guy that happened to be in a dark place and thus he gets away with no punishment， while she dies。 Oh， and the writers slut- I've never seen a story that aged so badly。My biggest issues are how Terra， as a character， is built on misogynistic stereotypes （she's a swallow， back-stabbing， self centered， irredeemable， ungrateful and hysterical b*tch， that breaks the good guy's heart and goes for the bad-guy etc etc） ， while the man that committed statutory rape with her is portrayed and a sympathetic guy that happened to be in a dark place and thus he gets away with no punishment， while she dies。 Oh， and the writers slut-shame her without remorse， despite being only 15。 Check her wikipedia page where her physical aspect is described if you don't believe me。 。。。more

3。5La historia es mítica y muy interesante。 El dibujo de Perez despegadísimo como siempre。 El problema está en que por momentos se me hizo un poco dura por los excesivos textos。 Wolfman es muy buen guionista pero no tiene la pluma de Claremont。

Es ub cómic super entretenido aunque creo que algo que juega en contra es que desde el primer momento sabes que Terra los va a terminar traicionando。 Más allá de que varios conozcamos ya lo que va a suceder creo que hubiera sido mejor que se utilice el elemento sorpresa con respecto a si personaje en lugar de decirnos al instante que ella es malvada y que los va a traicionar en cualquier momento debido a que en cuanto lo hace tu ya lo esperabas y por ese motivo no llega a ser algo sorprendente。F Es ub cómic super entretenido aunque creo que algo que juega en contra es que desde el primer momento sabes que Terra los va a terminar traicionando。 Más allá de que varios conozcamos ya lo que va a suceder creo que hubiera sido mejor que se utilice el elemento sorpresa con respecto a si personaje en lugar de decirnos al instante que ella es malvada y que los va a traicionar en cualquier momento debido a que en cuanto lo hace tu ya lo esperabas y por ese motivo no llega a ser algo sorprendente。Fuera de eso en general el cómic es muy entretenido y me gusta el balance que hay entre todos los personajes de los yuanes además de que la historia de el hermano sangre queriendo robar los poderes de los titanes es entretenida。Siento que pudo haberse trabajado más el romance entre Terra y Chico Bestia pero tiene sentido a la vez que no lo hagan debido a que la rubia aquí es completamente psicótica y no huniera habido posibilidad de redención al contrario de las versiones de sus adaptaciones。Las salidas de Chico Flash y Robin de los titanes al principio me sorprendió bastante pero también las entendí y ver a Robin volverse Nightwing e independizarse de Batman de esa forma fue algo para aplaudir。También algo que me gustó fue que manejaron el pasado de Deathatroke de una manera creíble y humanizando un poco más en cierta forma al personaje aún cuando sigue siendo igual de despiadado que siempre 。。。more

Classic comic storyline written by the great Marv Wolfman。 I had a few issues my dad had picked up for me in the mid-1980s when we were on vacation in Ocean City， but I had never read the whole story。 It's surprisingly adult as the 16-year-old spy in the Titans not only meets an untimely demise but is also revealed to be having a sexual relationship with Deathstroke who is in his 50s。 I go back and read a lot of 70s and 80s comics due to nostalgia and most do not hold up very well at all， but Wo Classic comic storyline written by the great Marv Wolfman。 I had a few issues my dad had picked up for me in the mid-1980s when we were on vacation in Ocean City， but I had never read the whole story。 It's surprisingly adult as the 16-year-old spy in the Titans not only meets an untimely demise but is also revealed to be having a sexual relationship with Deathstroke who is in his 50s。 I go back and read a lot of 70s and 80s comics due to nostalgia and most do not hold up very well at all， but Wolfman was pretty ahead of his time and his stuff holds up pretty well。 You also get great art by George Perez。 。。。more

Classic Teen Titans story that remains a hallmark of the series， introducing Nightwing and giving the origin to Deathstroke。 Wolfman crafts a superb story， delving into each character with plenty of twists and turns， along with truly evolving the series。 Terra is a standout as the traitor， at once sweet and dangerous， you find yourself hoping she doesn't turn out to be a turncoat。 George Perez's art is gorgeous and first rate storytelling， with some second to none fight scenes and splash pages。 Classic Teen Titans story that remains a hallmark of the series， introducing Nightwing and giving the origin to Deathstroke。 Wolfman crafts a superb story， delving into each character with plenty of twists and turns， along with truly evolving the series。 Terra is a standout as the traitor， at once sweet and dangerous， you find yourself hoping she doesn't turn out to be a turncoat。 George Perez's art is gorgeous and first rate storytelling， with some second to none fight scenes and splash pages。 I must read for any comic book fan。 。。。more

Even though I really like George Perez' art， it wasn't enough to save this graphic novel from a mediocre two-star rating。 The majority of the page layouts were static， narrow rectangular panels with teeny-tiny figures in them。 There were a few excellent splash pages， and there's a big battle at the end wherein the panels are a bit larger and the artwork more dynamic。 The story itself is tedious。 There's a full issue devoted to a flashback detailing Deadshot's origin story: that issue is pedestri Even though I really like George Perez' art， it wasn't enough to save this graphic novel from a mediocre two-star rating。 The majority of the page layouts were static， narrow rectangular panels with teeny-tiny figures in them。 There were a few excellent splash pages， and there's a big battle at the end wherein the panels are a bit larger and the artwork more dynamic。 The story itself is tedious。 There's a full issue devoted to a flashback detailing Deadshot's origin story: that issue is pedestrian， rote， and absolutely boring。 There're a lot of talking heads throughout the book， and a lot of plodding dialogue。 Marv Wolfman's attempts at writing what I suppose is meant to be Spidey-style banter is absolutely cringeworthy。 Terra is pretty cool character， until her motivations are revealed， which are unsatisfying and， simply， dumb。This story gives us the origin of Nightwing， which is cool， but his origin is simply a lot of trite internal monologue on Dick Grayson's part。 Jericho is a cool character with nifty powers。 I really wanted to like this book （I certainly don't start a couple-hundred-page graphic novel not wanting to like it）， but it's largely plodding and tedious。 Not all 'classics' stand the test of time。 。。。more

Profundamente conmovedor， una historia potente al servicio de unos personajes carismáticos y entrañables。 Un dibujo preciso y en perfecta armonía con lo que se dice y ocurre， un sentido de la épica que no muere y una mezcla de tensión y entretenimiento que culmina con un final nostálgico y trascendente a los cánones comerciales típicos de DC。 Es ante todo un cómic de crecimiento， con personajes conocidos y valorados por el gran público lo que redunda en su cercanía e interés。

I read this when it was originally printed in single issue format。 This is truly one of my favorite teams and stories。 The team that produces this comic are some of the best ever。 My only complaint is that it should have lasted longer and the last issue of the arc had a small amount of filler instead of action。
