A Week in Ink: Issue No. 46

Teen Titans No. 6 From the Scarlet Speedster to his prepubescent counterpart Kid Flash, this week the DC Universe is rife with conflict for every supersonic superhero capable of breaking the sound barrier. Though Wally has his own icy demon to fight in the form of Captain Cold, Teen Titans member Bart Allen has a much larger problem on his hands, namely the complete and utter destruction of every living cell in his body, one by one.

Lobdell takes the plot one step further this issue by bringing a new threat to a team already on the brink of its own destruction.
