On the other hand, there's lots of 60s TT issues I didn't read.
Like Beast Boy's first TT appearance. What was up with that?!!?
Yay, I can stay!

Jeepers! The perfect thread for me!
So, that Trigon sure was a terror, wasn't he?
Jeepers! Can you believe who Wonder Girl/Donna Troy/Troia turned out to be?

(I actually read some of the kids from the present - DEO & such - so that's a DQ topic for me!)

That phase they went through when they ditched their costumes for jumpsuits was drab, I heard. Though allegedly Mal made his debut during that period, if my sources are correct.

Even so, I like to see the kids on their own for once, without some adult superhero appearing to lecture them or save the day.

Yeah, and get this: I heard one of them might be "light in the loafers"!

Always heard those types existed (in the big city) but I never thought one could be a superhero! Only joshin',they're just goofing on us...

I've read a few issues of it, which means I can't get into the Flyers and the Woodworkers here. Which is a shame, 'cause I am more fond of them than is really necessary.

Jericho went from sane to crazy to sane to crazy back to sane.
In terms of what I have not read...
I only have like three issues of Jurgens Titans. Four of Grayson/Faeber's Titans, one of Arsenal's team, and... the most I have is of the Lord Chaos arc and the new Titans series.

Power Boy seemed like an interesting take on female super hero stereotypes .... until he got kneed in the balls by Supergirl ... and became a creepy abusive bf ... and somehow got impaled on a tree branch despite being invulnerable ...

Brett Booth was famous back at Image for drawing awesome dinosaurs and awesome animal people. The new Titans have ended up on a mysterious island with dinosaurs for no darn reason other than Brett Booth likes to draw dinosaurs, so I'm thinking that they'll need to run into some animal-people.
Which reminds me of that whole Wildebeest Society era of the Titans I never read.
Also Jericho going evil and dying, which I never read.
And that time that Danny Chase called himself Phantasm and, for one brief shining moment, didn't incredibly suck, which I also missed.
Why the heck wasn't Danny Chase related to Adrian Chase? Seems like a huge missed opportunity. Or, given the unpopularity of Danny, perhaps it was Adrian dodging a bullet...

I watched the original Teen Titans show, back in the day. It was cute, and very rarely got good (such as dealing with Madame Rouge and the Brotherhood). Still, not half as good as the Legion cartoon, and not a fifth as good as the Young Justice cartoon (which, along with Avengers: Earth Mightiest Heroes, and the Incredibles movie, is the best superhero animation, ever).

And I haven't seen this show either! I did see parts of the original series. This new series is a really cute guilty pleasure. I mainly like it because the episodes are short.

Still got a Legion statue in the hall of heroes for it. Seems as though it used to be harder to get in the old days... Not read any of the new lot since Starfire became a bit of a slut in the opening issue. From outgoing, caring despite tragedy, powerful warrior to well..that. >sigh<

Not read any of the new lot since Starfire became a bit of a slut in the opening issue. From outgoing, caring despite tragedy, powerful warrior to well..that. >sigh< They seemed to back away from that characterization at light-speed, after the bad press it got them. I picked one up about six months or a year later, and Kory is on board a Tamaranean cruiser, after a sort-of reconciliation with her sister Komand'r, and stopped Jason and Roy to 'ask their advice' about their current situation. Both start in with combat tactics and strategies regarding the fight they are about to get into, and she shushes them, 'While it's cute that you boys think I would ask your advice on tactics or strategy, I meant on whether or not I should forgive my sister.' I kind of love how she seemed amused and dismissive that they'd offer her combat advice. She just wanted *relationship* advice. She was, IIRC, also more often dressed in an outfit that had pants and stuff (form fitting impossibly sexy pants, but, pants, nonetheless, which somewhat surprisingly, meant that she had more clothes on than in her original Perez/Wolfman outfit!). It's possible they may have reacted a little *too* extremely to the bad reaction their 'sex kitten Kory' portrayal in the 1st issue received, but I'm not complaining. I'd rather have a mostly-dressed (and still crazy hot) competent badass Kory, than a slightly-addled neighborhood bicycle that everyone brags about bedding.

By the time they had figured out their stupidity, I was long gone, with no intention of returning. I didn;t get past the first issue of that. I don't think it even left the shop with me. Perhaps if they had given it some thought before rushing into the reboot? I don't think that would have made a difference. That was what they thought Starfire should be like.

Is that the relaunch I'm thinking of, or the relaunch that's probably happened in the time between your post and mine?
