Who would you want writing Teen Titans, or Titan-related characters, so it could stop being so, damn, horrible.
These are writers who've never worked on Titans books.

What, no Rob Liefield? No Justin Thyme? On a more serious note, Gail Simone could be interesting as a Titans scribe.

I voted. But neither of the two names I would have chosen are on there
Steve Englehart (I know, I know that he is long since out of comics, but he will ALWAYS be my favorite)
Kurt Busiek

I voted for Paul Dini. In addition to being a talented and seasoned writer, he was also story editor on Season 1 of Lost, so he knows something about juggling large casts with complex relationships and multiple plot threads.
I'm sure some people expected me to vote for Alan Grant, but he works better on dark books with gallows humor than on the bright and shiny Titans.

My # 1 pick would probably be Mike Allred, doing story and art, but he wasn't on the list so...
I went with Arcudi.

Great idea for a thread, SK!
I went with Roger Stern. If anyone could handle the Teen Titans in a way that made it unique as its own franchise but tied into all the mentor's lives, he would be it.
Plus he can write icons like Robin with the b-listers better than anyone.

I should've already mentioned this, but I had voted for Jill Thompson.
You didn't really think I'd vote for myself, do you?

Dini. Guy has proven time and time again how great a creator he is.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

I'm tempted to say Darwyn Cooke.
Then again, Darwyn Cooke is my first choice to write just about anything.

I'm going to write in JT Krul!
I wouldn't mind seeing Matt Sturgis try his hand with the kids.
Fabian N. has a history of writing young adults. I'm sure he could make them work.
Just spouting off.

McDuffie.. contrary to popular opinion, I think he did a great job with the Justice League, considering the hand he was dealt. I've loved his other past work, and I think he would be a perfect fit for the Teen Titans.

Though I have no idea who he is I voted for:
James *God Help Me* Robinson
soley because the wording of the poll was designed to get people to NOT vote for him.

Robinson is an otherwise AWESOME writer... Leave It To Chance, Starman... but he wrote the abominable Cry For Justice wherein Arsenal was mutilated and his daughter was killed.

Don't forget he also turned Tasmanian Devil into a rug and pretty much destroyed the Global Guardians.
It's nice to know people have such faith in my writing abilities.

Well, Global Guardians was a throwaway idea from the sucky Millenium event, and c'mon, Tasmanian Devil??
Still not a sign of a great or even a good writer to kill off characters he didn't create just to show how bad@$$ the villains he's writing are...

Pov, I think you're getting your teams mixed up. The Millenium spinoff was New Guardians, and the Global Guardians had been around since pre-Crisis. I personally liked them, including Tasmanian Devil, but to each their own.

But if he is thinking of the New Guardians I might have to agree. Jet and Harbinger I liked, but they created an openly gay magician named Extrano and a vampire that spread HIV called the HEMOGOBLIN.

I have an idea for an Arsenal back-up. Roy's redeemed, Lian's brought back, and pretty much everyone involved in Rise except for Lian is brought down a peg for what @ssholes they were. Oh and the Legion is heavily involved.

I deleted my summarization of what I'd do if given the chance to write Titans. You never know who could be looking for ideas. Instead, here's a couple of pictures of why I want to write Teen Titans.
