DC Comics Titans #3 - What's the Point?

"We are getting the band back together!" this is what came to mind when I heard they were reintroducing the Titans to the next generation of comic book readers. A team composed of Nightwing (before that Robin), Donna Troy (Wonder Girl), the Flash (Kid Flash), Red Arrow (Speedy), Starfire, Beast Boy (I liked him better as Changeling), Raven and Cyborg.

To give you a recap, The Teen Titans was an excellent team comic book back in the 80's. It had original stories (like the Judas Contract) written by Marv Wolfman and supported by George Perez (one really gifted artist).

Flash forward to the 21st Century we have the original team coming back together all grown up (or I guess more grown up since they were already into adulthood during the Teen Titans) with Judd Winick as the writer and Joe Benitez and Victor Llamas doing the art chores. The storyline so far, someone is killing off the Titans past and present. A good start but where do you go from there?

As the reader I am three issues into the story (four if you count the one shot that was "not" connected to the storyline), and nothing very exciting has happened. We do see some drama start to occur in this issue, but we later find out that the cause of the problems were Trigon's sons. It was revealed at the end of the second issue that Trigon was hunting them down and that he had another child.

However, in looking back at Titan's history we know that all of his children had been hunted down and killed. So what kept Trigon's enemies from getting at this new brood. Why where they hidden from Raven? Newly reborn and seemingly more powerful than before? These are some of the questions that I feel may get lost in the story telling....any thoughts?
