Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Oh Yeah, That Forum: The Titans 2004: What's happening in the current Teen Titans series?

There's irony in the above, right? Johns _embraces_ continuity but sends Dawn off to find a new Hawk? If the H&D series told us anything it was that Hank and Dawn were the very last H&D because the beings who powered them were dead.

As Johns does embrace continuity, let's figure he has found a way to bring back a new Hawk. There's other ways to get powers. Maybe the new Hawk will be some joe who assists an injured alien trapped under a fallen tree, or had a scientist father that experimented on him. Or maybe those wacky Lords of Order & Chaos are back!

I'll give Johns the benefit of the doubt until I see what he has planned. After all, I think what they did with Hawkman was excellent, and probably one of the most honest attempts at pleasing all fans that I've ever seen. And recently working Daniel/Dream into JSA to connect him with both Hector and Lyta, as well as Sand and the crime-fighter Sandman legacy was a very nice touch.

I mean, he's had Cave Carson show up in a respectable way! I'm pretty sure he doesn't use characters unless he knows their histories, so he'll have something in mind for Hawk and Dove.

Didn't Dove say something about Order and Chaos just being energy? You can't destroy energy, it just takes a new or different form. There is the loophole.

The H&D series from the 90's was one of my favorites. What ever happened the the artist on the series?

Hank, Don and Dawn were chosen by a specific Lord of Chaos & Lord of Order, who were together against the wishes of their fellows. Even if the energy was still around, it wouldn't go to a new host, it would just dissipate, since the sentience that granted it is gone, whereas in JSA #51, Dawn was automatically assuming, despite what she knows, that there'd be a new Hawk.

She is a conduit of a Lord of Order.

Didn't that series also say that Order can not exist without Chaos and Chaos can not exist without Order?

If Dawn as Dove is still alive and kicking, somewhere there is a Hawk to be her counterpoint.

She's not a conduit any more - the Lord of Order & Lord of Chaos that empowered Dove & Hawk, respectively, died and passed their remaining power to Dawn & Hank - making it clear in the process that that meant they would absolutely, finally be the last of their lines. If Hawk's chaos-energy is out there, it's not going to go to a new host.

Actually, Bart did wind up getting hurt during OWAW. It was I believe in the Young Justice chapter, where YJ land on Apokolips. In a nutshell, Bart made a "time-speed-clone" of himself. It got "killed", and that really, truly hurt him. I don't know if that facet of his power was ever used again or explained. What was shown in that story was that he was severly traumatized by that incident.

So how long is the message board crossover going to last? It seems that we're already beginning to revert to our typical LSH related topics, fanfic and Legion lore.

-just curious-

As long as Gary says it does!

lol

You know I'm going to kind of miss the nickname "Cap" it's really cool. That and it's kind of cool to see lightning and thunder every time I say Captain Yellow Kid
>crackle<
Boom

Aw crap.
It does take a little getting used to though.

I believe you forgot one of the dead, unless there's news I need to hear about my favorite Titanic magical girl...

Sighs.

Well, just finished reading #15 and....

Ares is shown telling Cassie (Wonder Girl) that she "and her friend" will be crucial in winning the upcoming titanic battle that's headed their way. A he sends Cassie back to Earth, he is seen wishing Cassie luck...

...then a picture of Troia is seen in the mirror and he say "Both of you!"

YAY!!

DONNA'S COMING BACK!!!!!

Sigh, that's the kind of thing that's gotten me burnt out on superhero comics, this kind of "You should buy this special issue/series because a major character will DIE!" marketing followed by "Because you demanded it, dead character X is back" a short time later.

Not to disparage anyone's enjoyment of that sort of story, but they've stopped exciting me.

I guess it all goes to a "comics were better when I first started reading 'em arguement".

The WaK new LSH information has kind of superseded everything else the past couple of days. Guess it shows how much we're all uncertainly chomping at the bit for the new series!

Or, alternatively, sharpening axes...

Ha ha ha

So true.
With Kitson being willing to chat with us and answer a few odd questions he's become something of a focal point for the last few days.
It's quite ok with me though, look at all the traffic LW is getting due to a legion creator being around. (I evem spotted Jim Gallagher's name in the "recent visitors" list and I haven't seen Jim in a long time)

As usual though when the comic hits the stands we'll pick every page apart and have fun doing it.

Would love to see Johns bring back some west coast Titans. To bad it can not be Hawk and Dove, I sure enjoyed seeing them on Justice League Unlimited.

Anyone care to bring us up to date with the current series...either here, or in a brand new thread?
