Caught between the Suicide Squad and the Crime Syndicate, the Teen Titans fight to free the missing academy student from Amanda Waller. With time ticking away towards when the Titans must return home or risk being stuck on Earth-3 forever, the team faces an impossible choice.

Rick Flag’s insurgent Suicide Squad, which is different from Amanda Waller’s one-time government sponsored Suicide Squad…

…invades the Titans Tower which is the school housing the Teen Titans Academy.

Naturally, a skirmish breaks out, but…

…Rick Flag seems to have more direct, less combative approach, with the Wally West the Flash.

The skirmish elsewhere continues, but…

…the Flash and Flag come to hall, break up the fight, and…

…look to be working together against Amanda Waller and her manifest destiny with Earth 3.

The joint team prepares to take off, without the students due to the danger of the mission, but…

…naturally they stow away.

The Pulse:

The penultimate issue of this series is part of a cross-over with another cancelled series in Suicide Squad plus The Flash series which endures. This was a so-so issue. I found the War for Earth 3 pieces here felt disjointed and other pieces felt irrelevant. No Red X despite his prominence on the variant cover. The art was decent, but couldn’t save the issue. 4 out of 10.
