I despised every panel that simpering, whiny little crybaby appeared in. Not even his exposed nipples made me like him.

What nipples? I don't even see any skin.

LASH means the winged angel, who appeared in the Baxter run of "TNTT" [ issue #6 and onwards ?? ]

Matthew.

Not HIM, although he sucked too.

I'm talking about the purple-haired freak former Titan ally Azrael.

I mean, there was already a winged Titan character going unused-- Golden Eagle. Did he ever get used? YES, as cannon-fodder in TITANS HUNT, while that mewling wuss Azrael got to live.

Matthew, you posted super-quick!

Should DC link Azrael I to Zauriel or just forget him completely? By the way, purple hair only works on Lorna Dane.

That's one of his many SuperPowers!

Matty Poo, may I just say how super-hot you look in that form fitting black t-shirt? Kon has NOTHING on you, dear

thanks !!!

Matthew.

thanks CRULITH !!! and you look lovely, too

Matthew.

EH?



PURPLE hair?

Oh gawd, I had forgotten that horrible outfit!

Miss T's gone space-happy. I think she needs to take a break before any more missions.

There are 2 good Lorna costumes: the weird alien Cockrum designed is one but my ABSOLUTE FAVE is her original teal outfit, complete with lace-up boots, headgear and the skull brooch.

isn't it her sister ??? that you're think of ???

Matthew.

Take a look at this work by Vecchio (also posted in Bits) that contrasts Golden Eagle and Azrael-the-first. Even though it's not really how G.E. looked in the books, I think it bolsters Lash's point.

Well don't stake me to a cross over it, boys. Someone might need the wood.

I meant to type Betsy Braddock but my brain thought of Lorna Dane instead.

EDE where did you get such a beautiful Drura sketch? Dean? She wears purple well too

Matthew are you talking about Zala Dane? Did she have purple hair too?

Let's return to our regularly scheduled event of bashing Azrael I

If Zaladane is even related to Lorna at all, it's likely she's her cousin. Oh & she has black hair.

Yep, that's one of the many groovy pics of Drura by Dean!

And Azrael sucks!

yes !!! that's who i was thinking of !!! she did have purple hair didn't she ???

anyway that AZRAEL was a wimp, wasn't he !!! the way he followed LILITH around !!! although i always that he as gay .....

Matthew.

He was rubbish.

In fact I went right off the Titans soon after he first turned up. I think Marv was beginning to lose control over the book at this point!

What was bird boy supposed to do? He turned up and made a big fuss over Lilith - why?! What was that about? Then he disappears is "somehow" conected to Brother Blood and Raven and then goes missing again.

I totally gave up reading Titans at this point - so if anyone read on and knows if Azrael did anything else please let me know!

He didn't do anything but suck a lot.

Oh, and cry. He cried a LOT.

Wolfman had a thing for weepy guys. Remember that freak that cried his eyeballs out during CRISIS? What the sprock was that all about? Getover it, dude! Terry Long was way whiney too.

Winged Guys Who Love Too Much...on the next Dr. Phil.

My ass is still chapped that Charley died in TITANS HUNT and Azrael didn't.

But hottie-Charley will live again... in the pages of GROOVY 70s TEEN TITANS: The Series!

Jillikers! I bet even Greybird'll be a fan!

At least I can get on this new series before it gets too arcane

Oh, and I was a guest on that Dr. Phil show, it taped in Chicago last week. And he's a wimp, too!

Gee, the Titans sure were lucky to have a pal like Azrael:

Has anyone suggested a team-up between Azrael and Sodam Yat yet? It would surely be the biggest tear-jerker in all of comics!

(P.S. Enough time has passed since the 80s that I've decided I secretly love Azrael now. Would be super-excited to see him make a return!)

I'm pretty sure they're getting a mini-series with Pariah next year!

[borrows ten dollars]

[buys two fish]

[smacks both these posts in the head with said fish. hard.]

Honestly, I like a little Sensitive New Agey-ness in my super-dudes, but there are limits, Fandom. There are limits.

Shirley you jest.

Ah, but, thanks to Crisis on Infinite Earths, Pariah, and his entire universe, and the Anti-Monitor, retroactively never existed!

So that would be a plus. That was one of the weakest decisions of Crisis, some dude we never heard of being used as Point-of-View character...

Ugggh... let's have this crybaby nobody likes bouncing around weeping his face off while we take a perfectly good and unique concept and totally demolish it for one straightforward timeline that will be TOTALLY filled with holes and impossibilities and will ruin countless stories and alienate readers in the long run.

But at least we will have ONE universe, like our better-selling rivals marvel do.

Cut to: Marvel totally stealing the infinite words concept and launching all kinds of titles out of it like Exiles, the whole Ultimate line and Marvel Zombies.

Yeah. Good call at considering your fanbase real stupid, Marv WOlfman and DC.

*cringe*

Sorry 'bout that, but once in awhile its good to let off steam.

*tee-hee!*

They're lucky I don't hold grudges.

You're still not over Heckler getting cancelled...admit it.

Well I did have that dream about Heckler # 7 once...

They should have killed Azrael off in Crisis, instead of Kole and Tula!
