Titans: Villains for Hire Special #1, #24-38, Annual 1, Convergence: Titans
Oh man, where do I start? I actually had to order one of these books online so that I could complete the series, and thank God I had a credit from the site I ordered from, so all I had to pay was shipping. Because this series? Just ... ugh. After the reunited Titans crashed …

Justice League of America (vol. 2) #41-60
So there's three directions in which the Titans wind up going after the Blackest Night and Cry for Justice events: Teen Titans continues as it was, Titans becomes a Deathstroke-led villain team, and several of the founding Titans move into Justice League of America. This happened, as I've mentioned a couple of times, when I …
Titans #14-23, Blackest Night: Titans, Justice League of America: Cry for Justice, The Rise of Arsenal/Fall of Green Arrow
Man, this was tough. I knew that once I started the Titans series, I was going to hit a point where this team is put through the wringer several times over, something that would eventually lead to them breaking up, with several of them headed to the Justice League and a couple of them heading …
Teen Titans (2003) #51-70, Titans (2008) #1-13, and several specials and miniseries
There's a ton of books in this review. I was going to write several mini reviews, but time got away from me, and I have to be honest ... I wasn't as invested in this stretch of Titans as much as I had been with the 2003-2006 issues. Funny enough, that was the case when …

Teen Titans (2003) #34-50
Like I said in my last post, DC's books jumped ahead one year in their stories after Infinite Crisis with 52 filling in the gap. A year after that we got Countdown, which was later retitled Countdown to Final Crisis, which was not as self-contained as its predecessor and I think was meant to be …
Outsiders #34-50, Annual 1
The idea after Infinite Crisis finished was to jump every DC title one year ahead in its respective timeline. The missing year would be filled in by a weekly series named 52 (which was really well done and deserves a reread), and that missing year would feature the DCU without Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, …
Teen Titans (2003) #24-33, Annual 1; Outsiders #24-33; The Return of Donna Troy; Infinite Crisis
The Teen Titans and Outsiders books were tied to DC's Infinite Crisis event from the outset. I didn't know this when I picked up the Graduation Day miniseries, but as we wound our way through the Countdown to Infinite Crisis (which was one of the best lead-ups to an event I've ever had the pleasure …
Uncollecting Update March 2023
As always, let’s start with the numbers … Physical Comics Read: 3 (163/231)Digital Comics Read: 0 (471/471)Trades/Graphic Novels Read: 2 (7/11)Books Read: 1 (117/123)Movies Watched: 1 (187/194)TV Series Watched: 1 (57/58)TV Seasons Watched: 2 (102/105)Podcast episodes remaining: 236 So it was definitely a slow month. So much so that I barely posted anything until I turned around and decided to just start the …
Teen Titans (2003) #1-23, Outsiders #1-22
So when The Titans hit bottom, there was another series that was going pretty strong, which was Young Justice. I know that when I was on the DC forums back in the early 2000s there were a number of fans who referred to YJ as the "real" Teen Titans series. And maybe DC or at …
