When it comes to the X-Men, I really don't know anything that's happened since 1993. Okay, I know about Onslaught and have gleaned a few things from reading Previews and "best of" lists over on CBR, but for the most part once I left the X-books after "Fatal Attractions" and "Blood Ties", I didn't really …

The Medusa Chain
I have to admit that I have a fascination with DC's early graphic novels from the 1980s. Whereas Marvel launched their line with The Death of Captain Marvel and focused a number of their offerings on their superheroes, DC went in an entirely different direction by sticking with mostly science fiction. The most valuable of …
Teen Titans #82-100; Cold Case #1; Red Robin #20
And so it's come to this. Issue #88, I think, was the first issue of Teen Titans that I picked up since sometime around the middle of Final Crisis, which was in late 2008 and the Titans were somewhere around issue #63. So that's roughly 20 issues that I skipped and 20 issues that I …

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, …
