I won't ever know. Until they reboot it back to the point where all the dead Titans are alive again, the franchise is dead to me. I'm very happy with my groovy back-issues.

^ Same. I'm so past the Titans franchise I have trouble conceiving of what on earth they could do with that book to get me interested again.
I'm over the Wolfman/Perez Titans. I'm over the Fab Five Titans. I'm over the Young Justice Titans.
I think the only Titans book that I would be remotely interested in reading about would be the new adventures of the forgotten 70s Titans - Mal, Karen, Lilith, Charley, Bette, Gnarrk, Don, Hank.
Sadly, that book's never going to happen.

Bill Walko has stated his high interest in doing just such a book, with the whole groovy 70s cast.
Of course it would have to be out of continuity, which is fine with me. Continuity ain't all that.
His take would be more along a "tween/Archie" take, which could do well. I myself would go with a more Rozakis-like take, but if it were ever to come about in any form I would buy it!
Set
There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

I like Brett Booth's art, from back in the Wildcore/Backlash days over at Image, so I'll at least get the first issue, to look at the purty pictures.
If the characterizations of these new(ish) Titans (and the actual new ones) are interesting, I'll probably hang out for a few more issues.
I'm surprised they aren't calling it Young Justice, since the core of the team is Conner, Tim, Bart and Cassie.

I'm most interested in the insectlike girl; and I do like the artist as well. Lobdell's last series I read (Alpha Flight) was enjoyable to me, so we'll see...

TEEN TITANS #1: Somehow I think if DC knew the reaction they'd get with Starfire and Catwoman's introductions, they would've come up with a different way to present Cassie.
I thought the 'thief' stuff would center on stealing a lasso from Olympus... not a repeat car thief. This is a super-heroine?
She should be in jail.
Red Robin comes across OK. Kid Flash has been regressed without adding anything new.
The new characters on the cover are nowhere in sight.
Not a great beginning.

RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #1: Roy and Jason- kind of fun, in a frat boy kind of way. Kory- if this were a new character, she might be interesting, provocative even.
Erasing love from Tamaranean sexuality is beyond cynical. It's so ugly, I can't even quite comprehend it. I wonder if R'yander would have the same drive? I somehow doubt it.
And not being able to recognize humans? Or remember those she called friends? Awful.
The opening scenes were fun and exciting, though. And the art was quite good. The 'cheesecake' was nothing we haven't seen for Starfire before, and didn't make me bat a lash. Till I read the words spoken about her.
Like everyone else, I wonder who 'Dustin' is... and am, once again, annoyed by no Wally or Donna.

Whoa. It does sound odd... One of the things I liked most about Starfire and the Tamaraneans was the focus on their emotions; that is, being a proud and passionate race. I know the toon focused on that a lot, but I think it had roots in the comics.
Hmmm, come to think of it, Starfire should have gotten a bigger role in Blackest Night...
