I'm trying not to jump the gun, and will wait till I actually read the story, but MAN all the tidbits coming out about this story has me fearing the worst.

That era to me is the height of DC's quality line-wide.

90s is when I started reading comics, and I agree with that statement.

Unfortunately is hard to be a 90's era fans nowadays.

This I can actually respect. At least you're willing to give it a chance, unlike most who write it off due to rumors without ANY FACTS, or thinking they truly know what's going on behind the scenes.

That is absolutely true, but I do see a glimpse of hope. I mean, if it is true that Kyle goes back to the Titans? That could be great. If only we can have Roy back. And maybe Hal went Parallax... A man can dream...

I'm not totally sure about Kyle saving his butt too.
We know he's alive at december but HIC will end after. I'll never be relieved till it end.

You can actually wait to read the story before judgment? #MINDBLOWN

Seriously though, the possibilities for very good or very bad are all there. Next week, we'll all have a much better idea of what we're concerned with and talking about.

I am with you on this one, except it doesn't really make sense to bring him on the team and then kill him off in a different book a couple months later.

I don't think anyone is jumping the gun. Airing grievances and worries before going into a story is natural especially when a lot of the story points are controversial. You can still pick it up day 1, I am too and be cautiously optimistic to read it. I don't understand people who act like critiquing or complaining about something automatically means you won't read it or give it a chance.

Maybe they're making Kyle a Titan so that they can kill another Titan lol

Well....you and many others have been against the book since Day 1. So for me it was safe to assume that none of you had any intentions to read it? I'm honestly surprised you're going to pick it up.

[Rise]

The same people who keep wishing for the legacy characters to take over would also cry when they get pushed aside for the newer generation to take over their place and the cycle of whining would continue.

If these characters can't stand on their own without taking over famous mantle, then what's the point of them? (It's not true at all that were created to take over).

And about HiC, will give it a shot and see how it goes. I have a feeling that the most entertaining thing about it is going to be fans reaction.

Why is that surprising? You do understand that negative doesn't automatically mean bad. Dick Grayson is my favorite comic book character of all time but I could go on at length about issues I have with him. I complain because I care, because I know DC can do better without resorting to "who's gonna die and come back in a couple years?" It's pointless ideas that will be reversed later on and no one will care. Questioning and confronting these ideas is to hope for better stories down the line that don't resort to this kind of stuff. Maybe Heroes in Crisis will be my all time favorite DC story, I have no idea but what I do know is that their promotion of this book is awful and beneath DC.

I can definitely sympathize with everything said here. Just like Dick Grayson is your favorite (and mine too), Roy Harper is definitely my favorite. Outside of Dick and Wally, he's probably the only Titan who has been developed and showed so much growth over the years. I've been with the character since the Devin Grayson era, Outsiders, JLA and RHATO. I think killing him is a mistake. There's still so much you can do with him.

There's more than enough room for all of the characters without killing anyone. Just because a writer doesn't want to play with a toy doesn't mean they should break it so no one else can either.
