We start with a flashback. The team is unable to save Slades son, Ravager. He blames them and vows to get back at them. Years later, Slade comes back and kidnaps Wally. He wants to use his speed force to go back in time and rescue his son. We bounce back and forth between two different Wally’s one from the Titans led by Nightwing, the other from the Teen Titans led by Robin. The Titans, and the Teen Titans, band together to find Slade and rescue both their Wally’s. Eventually the team’s come across Slade, but he has already harnessed the speed force from Kid Flash (Teen Titans Wally). The Flash (Titans Wally) recruits Jericho to help them take out his dad. Meanwhile, Slade is completing contracts across the world in minutes. The speedsters bring Slade back to the current timeline, where Slade is devastated and quits. The main timeline has been changed by Robin. Wally has to give up being the Flash. Slade makes amends with his family, and assembles his own super hero team called the Dark Titans, led by Jericho and Rose

Sooooo boring, absolute garbage.
This book proves my dislike of Wallace west, like he literally almost destroys the world giving his powers to deathstroke, he is the cause of the madness.
The writing is absolutely boring these is no good dialogue, no humour, no emotion, just dialogue. It felt like talking to a robot.
The only issue I like is the last one with deathstroke it’s pretty cool and nice and I might give Christopher priest another chance
In the end don’t buy this, get it from the library.

Just under nine hours to go in the 24in48 readathon and finished The Lazarus Contract. Definitely pales in comparison to the original classic Wolfman/Perez The Judas Contract. Honestly, I'd prefer them to leave classic storylines alone and just try something new with the teams as they are now. It probably doesn't help that I had no emotional ties to either Titans team unlike the Titans of my youth. 3⭐️'s out of 5.

I think this book suffers from too many characters... The Titans. The past Titans (who were the Teen Titans at that point in their careers). The current Teen Titans. Death Stroke. All of Death Stroke’s children, past and present. My head is spinning just writing that. It just made it all hard to follow.

All of the members of the Titans combine with all the members of the Teen Titans to stop Deathstroke.
This volume kind of felt random. Would Slade's motivations have been clearer and justified if I had been reading the Deathstroke series? This is why I'm not a fan of all the crossover events. There's no way to keep up with all the ongoing series in order to make sense of the crossovers.
P.S. I still hate Damian.

Cliche new villain seeks revenge on hero’s for first villain when it’s the first villains fault.
Cliche dad is too busy hating those responsible for this dead child while he still have two living children that need him
A little slow at times.
The parallels in the teams was cute.
The ending left me wanting more, which is always good.
Overall a decent read.
