TEEN TITANS ANNUAL #1
written by ADAM GLASS
art by RYAN BENJAMIN
cover by GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI and CAM SMITH
Betrayed by the Red Hood, Damian hunts down Jason Todd and vows vengeance—or death! Meanwhile, Djinn and the rest of the Titans battle one of the Other’s closest allies—Joy Stick! (Making his DCU debut from the Teen Titans Go! universe.) But when Control Freak learns all of Djinn’s most dangerous secrets, Djinn will do anything to keep the Teen Titans from finding out the truth!

I... I don't know what's happening anymore. December solicits say nothing that could head to these two solicits as far as I recall. There is a gasp I cannot fathom the change to fill in.

Wait, what? Is Lobdell finally going to address this plot point? Because YES.

Wait, what? Is Lobdell finally going to address this plot point? Because YES.

And it seems like he finds out who he is. And there seems to be someone pretending to be him. A lot going on that was in no way hinted last solicit. Or I don't remember anything hinting to it. It's a bit out of left field for me, all this... I don't know, haste? For advancing the plot when we have been steadily-but-in-no-hurry advancing for a while.

Cover RHTO #30

Still looking for TT Annual

[Sergard]

No more variant covers by Yasmine Putri How is Philip Tan's art?
Still not a fan of how Woods draws Jason's face. Apart from that the cover gives me "Batman: Under the Red Hood" vibes (the movie), a bathroom, a guy tied to a chair and a crowbar.
The new Wingman makes me curious. When was Jason Wingman? Are there a lot of stories?

I feared that Jason would be the traitor in Teen Titans. (Is that a crowbar in Damian's hands on the cover?)
Well, that team-up of Jason and Damian was pretty short-lived.

Why are you guys thinking that Solitary will be addressed? Doesn't "Instead of" indicate that the opposite is the case?

TT Annual:

Batman Incorporated vol. 2? Just after FP was done, already in N52 stuff. He formed a brief partnership with Damian there, so I'm guessing this issue is connected to TT annual, somehow.

And, welp, Solitary is addressed. Jason looks for him already, but it seems that when he finds him, he finds someone from his past. It screams Willis everywhere, who we know is Solitary. But it could be a red herring.

TT Annual:

He was Wingman in Batman Incorprated.

Given the solicits for this months Teen Titans, Jason is likely to appear in some form so we might get a better idea of what the annual means.

Phillip Tan work is a mixed bag.

Pretty clear that Jason`s "betrayal" of Damian will rely on Solitary playing the strings again and/or/as Wingman.

It`s not a coincidence both covers depict someone holding the crowbar and it`s not Jason.

Also, it`s confirmed that in the Batman Beyond comic-verse Jason died at the hands of the Joker. Old J (who is not "Tim" in this verse?) is targetting Terry`s brother - who is the new Robin - while holding a crowbar.

Crow.

Yeah, that's what I was working towards now, the idea that both stories are connected, and that Jason has been somehow set up by someone else for Damian to break their deal and hunt him. Either Solitary or Bane, if all this "Bane is the one isolating the batfam" conspiracy ends up Being a real thing.

Don't like the cover for issue 30 because it doesn't seem like a cover.

Honestly, don't know what's going with DC because most of their books have unappealing covers in Jan.

The plot with solitary has been running for two years now, but I sure hope Lobdell doesn't rush the reunion unnecessary and handle it well

[Celgress]

I'm (very) late to this party but it warms my (typically) cold heart to see so much love for my favorite Batman Family member other than Bats himself and Alfred of course. Long live Jason Todd the second and best Red Hood!

Yeah, it seemes that someone set them up or there's a misunderstanding. It's kinda obvious, but still not interested with whatever's going on in TT and I don't think Solitary has something to do with it either.
