Description
Souls As White As Heaven...As Black As Hell
Lilith taps the power of Raven’s rings to return herself, the Teen Titans, and Arella to Earth. On arriving, they find that a large section of New York has been taken over by Trigon, and is continuing through the state. The demon himself appears to be asleep atop Titans Tower, while the Titans encounter the transformed Raven in the streets of a hellish version of New York. They attempt to reason with her, only to fight her into a stalemate. Jericho is thrown into shock when he attempts to possess her, while Wally West and the Titans are banished into the realm of their own nightmares. Each Titan confronts an evil version of himself: Nightwing’s double shows him a murdered Batman whose death the new Robin, Jason Todd, was unable to prevent, and demands that he return to the role of a twelve-year-old sidekick; Cyborg finds himself regards as a monster by Sarah Simms and her students, who look to a normal Victor Stone for protection; Wonder Girl watches as her counterpart uses her Amazon strength to kill her husband, Terry Long; Changeling sees himself as a scavenger feeding on the bodies his deceased loved ones and terrorizing his living friends; Starfire’s duplicate taunts her with an image of her homeworld enslaved by the Gordanians, and claims she can only save the planet by returning to slavery herself; and Wally is witness to his own doppleganger and the transformed Raven making love, after which the evil Kid Flash and invites Wally to take his place. On Earth, Raven, Lilith, and Arella see the Titans as a stone columns of lost souls.
