Is that Lilith on the cover?
If so, very cool! I always liked Lilith's connection to the supernatural -- despite her own powers being seemingly being biological.
It looks great, I think this can easily become top of the pile for me and I'm still hoping it goes past issue 6.
I wonder if Garth's outfit is meant to foreshadow establishing him as LGBTQ+?
Donna is really intense and passionate here. And even wears her lasso out in public. Also she's rocking that tracksuit .
Karen immediately falling for Mal is cute.
Poor Garth...
Is it too much to hope they'll just stick with this one Donna origin?
Ha so Donna and Garth here is basically if an extrovert dates an introvert
Thats funny as hell

I love that cover. I feel it's a throwback to their "Scooby Doo" era. You know when they drove around in a van looking for mysteries which usually had a horror theme?

That series had just about wrapped when I started collecting, but I loved the issues I read as well as the excellent Nick Cardy covers. I think Scooby-Doo started around the time the first Titans run was ending, but there were definite similarities between the two. DC was really playing the horror card in the early 70s -- and that did appeal to me -- though ironically I didn't collect the actual horror series -- only the super-heroes who were dealing with horror.
And in just one panel, Donna Troy got her origin back... again.

She's had that origin back since the Artemis Wanted one-shot.

I don't think an off-the-cuff comment in an Artemis one-shot gave most of us much comfort. Also, it seems Donna is more of a Titans property than a Wonder Woman property, so acknowledging her classic origin in WF:TT is all I need.
That's because Donna debuted in Teen Titans - in the very first story to use that name (there was one Robin/Kid Flash/Aqualad feature a few months earlier). Wonder Girl debuted in 1961 as an imaginary story younger version of Diana. In 1965, TT's first writer used that character, assuming she was a sidekick, when she was actually more like Superboy - thus accidentally creating a new Wonder Girl who wasn't Diana. Wonder Woman's writer/editor responded by binning Wonder Girl and Wonder Tot, another even younger Diana, a few months after the character who would be later named Donna Troy debuted.

Me too. I started collecting back issues of Teen Titans in between the original series wrapping up and New Teen Titans debuting. At first I gravitated to the "disco era" but eventually grew to love the "Scooby Doo" era for it's weirdness. Kinda hated the Mr. Jupiter no-costumes era but now have a soft spot for it.
Yeah, this was awesome! Fun little adventure, cool guest appearances and great character moments.
If you are a fan of Garth like me, you'll enjoy this issue a lot.
