    New Titans East.

    Not really interested given the creative team (Judd Winick) and line-up.


    Somehow I think Cyborg deserves better than to be standing in the back of this crowd.

    He's the one guy who I think deserves to be promoted up to the Justice League if they are going to remove him from the Teen Titans book.

    Think about it. TWO animated series (Super Powers and Teen Titans). TWO recent appearances in Smallville. TWO successful Teen Titan relaunches (the original run with Perez and Wolfman and the most recent incarnation by Geoff Johns). A Super Powers Action Figure back in the eighties, as well as huge piles of recent Teen Titans animated merchandising. Solid B-Lister ready to break through to the next level (ala Luke Cage or Power Girl) if there ever was one. It would be a shame for him to slip back down to the C-List.

        I believe that's Power Boy? Some supporting goof from Supergirl's series...
        As for the rest of them I recognize Cyborg, obviously, and the female Hawk and Dove team. Who are the other losers though? Is that Beast Boy? Reminds me of Bug from Micronauts crossed with an Atlantean.
        Bad enough this team looks like a bunch of cornballs but then throw Winnick's writing in the mix and you've got a crap book for sure. Once Geoff Johns left the Titans book it started to tank/stank anyway...

          Lagoon Boy from Young Justice I think. The only cool bit there is Son of Vulcan and Hawk and Dove. Power Boy?/ You've got to be kidding, stupidest thing ever.

              I feel the same way. I love the Titans. I've loved tracking down the Silver Age stuff, loved the Wolfman/Perez work, and still even read and tried to find positives in the post-100 New Titans, Jurgens team, and the Faerber run. I've felt rewarded for my loyalty by the main Titans book.

              And then they give a shot to one by Judd Winick.

              I know I'll pick it up, but it'll likely be for 50 cents combined with some other stuff in an Ebay order.

                I don't see how Winnick keeps getting work at DC...I never hear any favorable response to his work. Same thing with his college roomate, Brad Meltzer. I just don't get it....

                    Lagoon Boy was a new Aqualad stand-in created by Eric Larson when he took over Aquaman from Peter David. Despite that awkward starting point, I really liked the way he was written in the Young Justine No Man's Land Special and his guest appearances in Young Justice. Unfortunately the arrival of a new Aquagirl kind of knocked him out of the running in the same way that Mia/Speedy's arrival pretty much relegated Arrowette/Cissie to obscurity.

                    I had no idea who this was until I googled him just now.




                    __________________________________________

                    Power Boy was just one of dozens of seemingly throw-away characters created by Geoff Johns to move in and out of The Teen Titans during the One Year Later Gap during 52.

                    Who'd of thought that he actually had legs once other writers picked up on him?

                    I guess he's just one among a crowd of forgettable awkward Teen sidekick wannabe's like Little Barda, Bombshell, Molecule, Young Frankenstein etc.






                    The one OYL 52 Gap Titan that does intrigue me is Talon who is supposedly the sidekick of Earth 3/Crime Syndicate's Owlman.

                      Young Frankenstein? Now that actually sounds interesting.

                        Now that's the Son of Vulcan I remember. Notice a young Dave Cockrum's byline on the front cover...that's cool!

                          Cyborg does deserve better. He was one of the first major super heroes who just happened to be black, and not "black" to be "urban" or "street" (see Luke Cage or Black Lightning).

                          I have enjoyed the Johns Titans and I'll stick around and try the new guys, but Winnick just isn't my cup of tea.

                            hmmm,.. I might try it. I do like the fact that Both Hawk & Dove are girls now,.. I was always a fan of the OG characters. Who's the chick in the purple ? ... But I dunno,.. I like the Titans East that Deathstroke created better. They for the most part were all Baddies,.. the team was a lot better than the characters shown here. Cyborg & Beastboy kinda got screwed IMO with the whole "one yr later" crap in the DC universe. So Did Impulse/Kid Flash/Flash/Bart Allen. So I take it since Cyborg is headed over to the East book,.. then Donna Troy is sticking around in the Titans book as thier mentor ? & Whats going on with Starfire ? Is her character comming back to any of these books ? She was hanging with the Outsiders with Dick, .. however she is not in Batmans Outsiders line up,.. or atleast there is no pic of her ?.
