But everything after that....... yikes. #100-130 was basically unreadable. I actually remember reading some of this stuff way back when, because I was huge Kyle Rayner fan in the 90s and I followed him over to the tail end of New Titans. But these books were bad. Really, really bad. Poor Raven. Poor Gar. Poor Vic. Hell, poor Roy for having to wear that costume.
Next, I finally, after 25 years, read the Jurgens Teen Titans next. I remember Argent from the Devin Grayson Titans series, but this is my first real experience with these characters. It was... OK? It seemed harmless, and very inconsequential. My favorite parts were the issues that featured the regular Titans, which probably isn’t a coincidence. I didn’t hate it or anything, but I just failed to really get into it. I also read through the 24 issues in about three days, so maybe that didn’t help.
Read Young Justice next, since that and Grayson’s Titans flows into Graduate Day, which flows into Johns’ Teen Titans (and the Outsiders book). I won’t say much here because it’s only loosely tied into Titans lore, but — not PAD’s best work.
JLA vs Titans next, then Grayson’s Titans.
