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 …
Continue reading Teen Titans (2003) #51-70, Titans (2008) #1-13, and several specials and miniseries
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
After a "fun but flawed" (as I put it) two years' of the Dan Jurgens-penned Teen Titans series, DC decided to give the original Titans concept another shot. I could dig deep into my Titans Companion volumes to see why the company waited so long to get it going again, but the timing of it …
I detailed my "Life as a Teen Titan" years ago over on Pop Culture Affidavit, and in doing so, I mentioned that when The New Titans ended in late 1995/early 1996, it didn't register with me the way you'd think that it would for someone who had been such a die-hard fan for so long. …
So over the course of the last few years, I have started on four distinct comics reading projects: G.I. Joe, The X-Men, Star Trek, and the Teen Titans. My intent with the first two was to read up to a certain point, with G.I. Joe involving all of the trades that I owned and the …
At one point in my collecting, I started buying Marvel's Essential volumes of the X-Men. It started with a couple of the Uncanny X-Men volumes, moved on to the Classic X-Men, and I eventually wound up having every storyline from X-Men #1 in 1963 all the way up to the end of the Inferno crossover. …
Before I get into these two trades, I have to point out that while I was reading Noble Causes, I couldn't help but think of Thom Zahler's Love and Capes. But whereas Jay Faerber's book is a soap opera with superheroes, Love and Capes is a sitcom with superheroes. And the adventures of that particular …
