New 52: Ravagers #1 Review

That funny I don't recall Fairchild running around in her undies in this issue
Ravagers #1 (July 2012)
Writer: Howard Mackie
Artist: Ian Churchill

Story:
Following the events of the Culling we are introduced to our main characters Caitlin Fairchild Thunder and Lightning a red Beast Boy and Terra who are being pursued by WarBlade and Rose Wilson who are eager to see them dead. The team escapes their pursuers only to turn on each other Beast Boy and Terra go out on their own while the others choose to stick together after some more conflict the team encounters a group of soldiers who say they no longer wish to fight. Lightning doesn't accept this and attempts to murder the soldiers the other members follow suit all except for Fairchild who is able to end the conflict by telling her pals that is they kill unarmed soldiers they will be no better ten the one's they fight the issue ends with the party being attacked by Wilson and WarBlade.

Review:
 the good:I like that Fairchild is still the noble Goody Good she's always been which you'd think would be nothing special in the DCU but lately with the New 52 it seems like a law that all  heroes must now be jackasses so it's nice to see someone that still has some understanding of how to be a hero  it's also nice to see that dc's still trying to push the Wildstorm characters rather then just abandoning them to comic book limbo.
The Bad:Boy do feel sorry for the poor sap who bough this book for Beast Boy and Terra yea they leave on the 5th page that's pretty bad when you realize they where the 2 most recognizable characters on the team and probably the reason most people got the book.
Final Verdict: I give it a 7 out of 10 if your a Gen 13 fan I say pick it up but otherwise just avoid it there's far better titles out there to be reading.
