This issue rocked. I was really pleased with the art in this issue. I do wonder if the Crisis will see a change in the current team. Interesting thought on Conners days being numbered. I get the feeling that something is gonna happen. I am intriqued about Donna and how the future seems to be in her hands.
would have got it last week, but i was away on holiday, all the other comics that i get were all still available !! with MANY issues still on the shelves !!
i never thought of asking for a pull list ,the guy at the till said it sold out straight away !!
hopefully they may get some more .....

I was actually unimpressed by this issue. It felt disjointed and incomplete in a number of places. What happened to all the Superman robots? Are we to believe that Cassie took them all out with her ricochet? I didn't read Graduation Day but if one of these things killed two Titans then how did they handle at least 35 (what I counted) if not more?
And how come Speedy (is that the name she's using?} didn't use a gag arrow like Oliver has used in the past? I thought they had brought down Luthor's defenses and when he said he took control of Connor by saying the magic words (did anyone else get what he said?) they should have tried to gag the SOB.
Finally the art, to me, left a bit to be desired. It felt too much like someone trying to outright copy Copiel and not come up with his own style. Very inconsistent to me. At least he didn't draw Donna Troy looking more like Zatanna than herself like D'Anada did in The Outsiders. Not that Clark drew her this issue, just saying the last page of The Outsiders left me wondering why Zatanna was racing home to the Titans.
I guess I'm going to have to say this book is on the bubble for me now. Art and story-wise.
WHY GEOFF, YOU TEASE! GEOFF JOHNS is becoming notorious for teasing his fans with irresistable little bits of info that more often than not, have them racing to pick up more and more comics. Here are some random teases that bring out the inner geek in all of us wondering what'll happen in the DCU:
· (In reference to the Teen Titans series) "Coming up you'll see... Red Hood, Brother Blood, (Blood's new "mother"...heh, heh), an A-list DC bad guy, a new villain (and new team) and a team of villains mentioned here with a huge twist. Some of it pre-crisis-2, some post-crisis-2."
· "Major Duela Dent plans post-crisis-2."
· "Black Adam has an interesting role in Crisis...Not all is as it seems."
· "And we've got some kick ass plans for him Post-Crisis."
If you're not on Geoff's forum over at you're truly missing out on some good conversation and great "inside" info!

Would that be the news regarding Omen?

I just read the news at Newsarama too! Omen/Lilith is coming back in issue #26?!? WOO-HOO! I can't beleive it! I never thought they'd undo the travesty that was her death in Degradation Day! So happy! So shocked! I take back all the bad things I said about your Titans Geoff Johns!
And I just saw your link re: the new characters in next season's 'Teen Titans Go' Mystery Lad. MAL!!! And Red Star! And Kole! And Bushido! And Killowat! And Gnnark! And Jericho!
WOW! So many good stories came out of DC today!

Didn't they though? Here's what I remember as good n' juicy:
-a new BRAVE AND THE BOLD, written by Waid
-LEGION OF DOOM/VILLAINS UNLIMITED appearing on JLU cartoon next season
-LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES on JLU (I hope not as descendants of the previous grouping)
-TEEN TITANS cartoon guest-roster (though it seems odd having Gnaark without Lilith...)
-Red Hood in Teen Titans comic (could be good)
-Omen
-JSA, BOOSTER GOLD, HUNTRESS OF EARTH II action figures in 2006
-Mattel figures for VIXEN, etc
Hmmm... seems like I'm forgetting something...
Marvel's only annoucements that interested me were the scheduling of a new X-FACTOR growing out of Peter David's MADROX miniseries and the FANTASTIC FOUR CLASSIC action figure wave (possibly the place for CRYSTAL, MEDUSA, BLACK BOLT and the other INHUMANS as action figs??)
I'm halfway waiting for a 'July Fools' disclaimer...
