Aqualad and Speedy get the focus in the second issue of writer Amy Wolfram's "Year One" book. Her take on prepubescent Aqualad is interesting. I never thought of Aqualad as a wuss, but Wolfram presents that front and center here. I do like her interpretations of Robin, Kid-Flash, and Speedy. The Speedy/Green Arrow confrontation is handled well. The art team of Karl Kerschl, Serge Lapointe, and Steph Peru do a fantastic job capturing both the youthfulness of the Titans and the seriousness of the out of control grownups. My only concern with the story so far is that it is basically a retread of the one-shot annual back in the 60s. After this issue I'm hoping that Wolfram adds some new twists and turns to this Titans tale.
