Titans Together! Teen Titans Appreciation

[byrd156]

I think the Fearsome Five should be used more in the Titans. I love Psimon.

Has any of them appeared in the New 52 yet?

They have actually. Check Justice League #29.

I only read the first 10 issues or so of Justice League.

They don't do anything major but they're definitely there.

I pretty much grew up on the Wolfman era. And what I read of the John's stuff I thought was decent. I haven't read the late 90's line up with all new characters (Teen Atom, Argent, Risk etc), I'm a little curious...

Teen Atom wasn't good or bad it's just okay. Argent was the best part of that line up.

The Titans was a pretty good series in the late 90's and early 2000's.

I liked Johns run. but I think Lobdell's run was pure agony. The first two issues of the relanuch have been decent but nothing special. I hope its explained in story whey Beast Boy is now green again instead of red. I like him being green, but I gotta admit that I did like the red version since he seemed connected to the Red. I really hope this new run does well. Post reboot, I haven't really connected with any of the characters which I find upsetting because I really like the Teen Titans mythos. I'm not a fan of the way Bart Allen (or Solstice) has been portrayed and I hope someone comes along and restores him back to his former glory. Superboy too.

I think that Bunker's a pretty cool new character. I still want to see a PROPER Rose Wilson appear at some point.

Man, I remember when Titans were awesome.

Now we got the watered down N52 version, low have the mighty fallen!

Well, the pre-New52 Teen Titans book was pretty awful, after Geoff Johns' initial run (which was decent). The New52 book with Lobdell has been pretty awful too. I don't completely dislike Lobdell. He has some enthusiasm for the stories he tells that I find appealing, and he can plot some more or less decent events. But the actual writing is painful, at least in the Teen Titans. Oh, and I like Bunker too. Sometimes, characters intended to give comics more diversity seem forced, but I found Bunker's personality interesting. Still, without good stories and good writing nothing works.

Is it really that impossible to tell a good story with teen characters, DC? Between editorial interference and weak writers it seems so...

I have not read the new renumbered version with Will Pfeifer yet. Let's hope things get better.

[Punisher007]

They have, at least so far. The new run isn't great (at least not yet, but to be fair it's only been two issues), but it's certainly decent (which is more than I could say for Lobdell's run, or the immediate pre-New 52 run for that matter). And it has potential.

I just went to a local con and bought the full johns run and I cant wait to break into that.

I hated what John's did to her before the reboot.

Lets hope that the Titans can get fixed and are able to tell good stories again.

Also why are the TT called the TT in the new 52? Did the team have an actual reason?

Helping Teen Metas, Lobdell entire run revolved around N.O.W.H.E.R.E.,Harvest and his hunt and experiments of Teen Metas.
