Here. We. Go! I have to confess that I only ever intended to buy this trade when DC started reprinting the Wolfman/Perez Titans because while I have owned all of these issues for more than twenty years, I know that they're pretty valuable and since I have a few of them signed by Marv Wolfman, …

Legends of the DC Universe #18, 80-Page Giant #1
My Teen Titans read-through takes me on a detour into the late Nineties, when DC was publishing books with legacy characters and was also taking the time to dive into the "untold" stories of its history. Legends of the DC Universe was one such title, and while I have only read four issues (these two, …

Classic G.I. Joe Vol. 3
When a trade paperback begins with "Silent Interlude", which is easily one of the most famous issues of the series, you know it's going to be good. It would be about thirty issues and three or four years until I actually started collecting and reading G.I. Joe as it came out, so this stretch of …
Showcase Presents: Teen Titans Vol. 2 and The Bronze Age Teen Titans Omnibus
So nearly halfway through this second Showcase reprint trade of my favorite teen team, I picked up my hardcover of the Bronze Age reprints to see if there was any gap that I might have to compensate for; after all, I was working with a black and white reprint from one particular cycle of trade …

Teen Titans Spotlight #21
With the ongoing (though slightly waning) success of The New Teen Titans, in 1986, DC published Teen Titans Spotlight, a series much like Solo Avengers, featured the various team members in their own stories. It's a series that I will get into more later on when I am finally into the "Baxter Series" era of …
Teen Titans Annual #1 (1999)
A quick look at Mike's Amazing World of Comics shows me that between 1998 and 2004, DC produced several replica/reprint and "lost" classic Silver and Bronze Age 80-page giant annuals (the "Teen Titans Lost Annual" from 2008 is on that list as well but I'm going to say it doesn't qualify because it has different …
Silver Age: Teen Titans
So I have to admit that the early 2000s are a period of time I don't remember well, at least when it comes to comics. I think this is probably because I was in in my early twenties and therefore occupied with other things; plus, I had moved from New York to Arlington, Virginia, and …
Teen Titans Lost Annual #1
My rereading all of my Titans comics is going to wind up including books that I have already read through, especially when I hit anything starting with DC Comics Presents #26. And though I'm clearly in the middle of the Silver Age adventures of the team (between Showcase collections), there are a few individual comics …
Classic G.I. Joe Vol. 2
Oh boy, did this get better. Not that volume 1 of the Marvel G.I. Joe series was complete crap or anything, but it suffered from the adjustment pains that a number of series can go through when they start, whether it be comic books or TV series (seriously, have you seen how many series are …
Star Trek (1st DC Series) Annuals #1, 2
Annuals can always be hard to place when you're trying to organize your comics. In some cases, they wind up being the end of a major storyline in your series--like the three New Teen Titans annuals that acted as "season finales" for that year's stories. Other times, they are part of crossover events and you …
