Teen Titans series discussion *Spoilers*

So, apparently Sean McKeever is taking over this book after issue 50. According to the DC panel at the Bristol Comic Convention.

Good. That last issue was dog vomit. Atrocious. Horrible.

What was the point of the big announcement of Beechen then?

What was the point of the big announcement of Beechen then?

I guess Johns was leaving and they wanted to pretend it wasn't just on a whim (though it clearly was).

 

[Joe Kalicki]

Here's why Beechen's leaving. A Space Heroes mini.

Seems like he was supposed to be the long term writer and had to step down. I'm a bit disappointed. I like Beechen.

The only McKeever I've read it Gravity. I hope he works out.

Here's what's been bothering me; If Batgirl was being brainwashed by Slade, but everything's ok now...why is she still making deals with supervillains in Robin? Plot Holes! Blargh!

What and where?

It could take place before Teen Titans. Not every title happens at once.

In Robin (one of the more recent issues...I can't remember which one) she was paying off that teleporting guy, and was obviously up to some sort of shenanigans. There was some sort of League of Assassins plotline that was obviously going to be followed in later issues...so won't all of that just be dissolved now that it's been proven that she's just Slade's *****? I was under the impression that the events in Robin where ahead of Teen Titans, but I guess that, unless we want to deal with some major continuity breakage, Cassandra's shadowy scheme will never be realized.

My guess is, DC told Beechem to make Cassandra evil. Beechem did, and built up some plots where Cassandra would be a recurring villain in Robin. Then DC realized all the backlash they were getting from turning Batgirl evil, and they reversed it.... and Beechem just got the memo a little late.

I'm so glad McKeever is taking over though.

Yeah read in Newsarama he will be adding Supergirl to the team


And Maybe Blue Beetle

 

[Ultimate Quicksilver]

Meh, I like Beechem. I don't remember reading something from McKeever... althought everyone keeps saying that his SMLovesMJ is awesome.

 

[thee great one]

Yeah read in Newsarama he will be adding Supergirl to the team


And Maybe Blue Beetle

Woot. More Supergirl is always awesome.

Screw Supergirl.

BLUE BEETLE! He needs more exposure.

 

[ultimatedjf]

It is awesome. Right, Bass, Wade?

 

[Gideon Stargrave]

It is awesome. Right, Bass, Wade?

No. I've never read that book before. I don't know what you're talking about.

Supergirl joining the Teen Titans is the most retarded thing ever.

 

[Void.M]

Screw Supergirl.

well if you want me too.......
......



seriously though yeah i care more about Blue Beetle

 

[Zombipanda]

Supergirl's probably a pretty good fit. I don't like her solo book, but her relationship with Cassie should be interesting. Plus, she fills that role for a heavy hitter that Conner left behind. To be honest, I care less about Blue Beetle, but we'll see.

Then again, we don't know if Blue Beetle will officially be on the team, but it's a pretty damn good guess, since he's appearing in issue 50, and the Teen Titans are showing up the same month in his book.

It will be a huge change in the direction of the book though. The dynamic's going to be completely different.

I dunno with miss martian and WG they pretty much have heavy hitters covered

 

[Zombipanda]

So, yeah, Supergirl is joining. We also have Blue Beetle showing up. But yeah, we've got subtractions. The guys from the Wolfman/Perez run are moving along. They've got other plans.

Word. New Titans!

 

[Dr.Strangefate]

Starfire, Cyborg, and Changeling (Beast Boy is a stupid name for someone in his late 20s) never fit in with the new generation of Teen Titans, and the book will be that much stronger with them gone.

I absolutely cannot wait for McKeever's run.

Changeling's silly, too. He should become Animal Man II.

Plus, it would be cool to see Donna and Raven and maybe Jericho running with them.

Judging by some of the previews I read Match was more than a match for them. Supergirl would be better suited to fight him.

Hehe. Punny.

 

[Grocer Man]

So...I picked up the new issue. Pretty good.

Miss Martian's characterization bothered me though. I know she's not familiar with Earth customs, but I think she'd understand what's wrong with walking around as a dead friend.

Looking forward to Blue Beetle showing up. I like him.

 

[thee great one]

This latest arc read like a John's one. Some of the characters had some great moments. With future Drake standing up to Conner, when he seen Robin and Wondergirl making out.

It has had a Sinestro Corps Starro controlling the entire future Titans Army. There was some interesting looking future versions in there.

 

[Dr.Strangefate]

I'm looking forward to the next arc a bit more, this one seemed like it was set up by Johns or Beechem, and I think McKeever can do better, but they've still been enjoyable.

 

[thee great one]

Terror Titans huh?


I don't know why there has to be all sorts of different Titans teams.

 

[Dr.Strangefate]

I agree that all these Titans teams is getting a bit stupid, but McKeever is definitely coming into his own here. The writing quality is almost infinitely better...

I also love that they are finally giving Marvin and Wendy some play, because their reinventions were ****ing brilliant, and its stupid that they've been keeping them so far in the background.

And man, they are just trying to **** up Kid Devil as much as they can, aren't they? I mean, its good, its great to give him some real character development, but this is getting almost as bad as the six months in which they killed Tim Drake's girlfriend, father, and best friend... but hey! good reading!

 

[thee great one]

I agree, I loved the last Future Titans arc.

A TEEN TITAN WILL BE KILLED.
