Not quite in their own series, this time the Teen Titans moved over the Showcase, the offical tryout book for new series. 

This time out the Titans are summoned by the teens of Clarkston. The job? Proving the Flips innocent. Yes, the Flips, those groovy rockers who incorporate motorcycles, surfing, and gymnastics in their songs. Seems everytime they have a show someplace gets ripped off and in a style incorporating motocycles, surfing, and/or gymnastics. 

Naturally the teens of Clarkston can't beleive their musical idols are a bunch of crooks so the call goes out. The Titans manage to prove the band innocent and take down the crooks. 

Pretty good and Haney hits all the marks.
