Great Hera! I haven't cared for the previous examples of changes in other editions, but I figured it was a matter of personal taste in color. But this is a JUST A MESS. Hyperion looks like a gold statue and why the HELL is the sky green??

Ooh, Nuevos Garfield can turn into orange cats, and not just green cats! Cool!

Foreshadowing of the NuDCU version of Beast Boy, who is reddish-orange? Or plaigerism! Dun, dun, dun-dun!

What the heck is Cyborg shooting out of his hand? He doesn't have energy blasters, just that sonic hand attachment thing... Huh.

Dark-haired Starfire is neat. I think I like the dark contrail better!

As for the previous cover, yellow Hyperion's lavender lightning is..., well, it just is. Yanno?

Cyborg used to have a finger laser ... not sure if all of his fingers can fire blasts. maybe.

The sky is only green for the top 90% of the page ... which is even more bizarre ... also I think Paradise Island needs to deal with their pollution problem as they have turned the ocean BROWN!?!

All that, but they always seem to get Kid Flash's color scheme right.
Sign of a "classic" costume?

The box with the 'More New Pages from the new DC!' blurb on the #8 cover isn't quite big enough to block the view of He Who Shall Not Be Named, and therefore I hate it.

Hmm, Kory's hair was darker than I remember on that 1st issue. Must be that darn Nuevos Titans time-travel retcon thing again!

As I've mentioned before, when I run across the house ads that feature the cover of #1 (against a black background, I think?) I stop and stare at it.

While looking at #8 to compose my comments, I realize that I can't remember what happens in the issue. This is one of the issues that I picked up long after I started reading Titans.

#8 what I remember from the issue (with the cover jogging my memory) Terry Long is introduced with Donna introducing him to Starfire. Starfire does save the kid from being run over by a Central Park cab. Cyborg gets dumped by his pre-accident girlfriend and ends up meeting the kids with prosthetics & Sarah Sims. Changeling after talking with Cyborg chases away some punks trying to strip his expensive car. Raven uses her soul self to check out a local university, discovers terrorists planting bombs around campus, gathers them up, and races back to have her soul selfjoin with her body in the minute limit. She doesn't make it, but manages to avoid the dire results that she was told would happen. Wally has dinner with his parents (pre-Manhunter dad & alcholic mom) and his dad has him carve the roast seeing as he is now a man.

Sigh. I feel sorry for everyone who missed buying issue #1 fresh off the stands on the day it was released. One of the high points in the life of a comic reader. Seriously.

I can still buy #1 for the first time, anyway; I still don't own a copy. I *read* it fairly early on in a mass market paperback book that reprinted 1-3 (chopped up page-wise, black and white).

The back cover features the Titans' heads against stars, like #8.
