Beechen’s move to the new miniseries does come with a cost – he had to give up Teen Titans, where he was recently named as the series’ new writer, stepping in for the departing Geoff Johns. Moving over to that series will be another member of the Countdown team, Sean McKeever.
McKeever will join Johns, Marv Wolfman, Mike McKone, George Perez, Todd Nauck and other creators for August’s Teen Titans #50 “jam issue,†and then head off on his own with September’s #51 with artist Randy Green.
“Sean’s is able to write in that great younger voice that the Teen Titans book really needs and a great sensibility for the characters, and again, like Adam, with his time working on Countdown, he was able to learn a lot about the interaction between them. When Teen Titans came free, Sean just seemed the most logical choice. Sean will be writing two of our team books now, with Titans and Birds of Prey, and he brings a great voice to both those books.â€
So awesome.

Marvel has seemingly turned into the EA of the comic book world. Constantly dropping the ball.

Anyways, getting back on-topic, there's an image floating around showing the new Titans line-up, with Robin, Miss Martian, Supergirl, Wonder Girl, Kid Devil, Ravager, and Blue Beetle as the new addition. I think it's likely that DC decided they needed to boost Jaime's profile to keep his book afloat, or they've finally decided to cancel it before they lose any more money on it, and this is just an effort to keep the character in the spotlight elsewhere.

More space adventures with Buddy and the gang!
But hey, anything with more Adam Strange, Starfire, and Buddy is A-okay with me.

Or it's the natural progression of the character. It doesn't make sense that he wouldn't be in the Titans. He's powerful and he wouldn't say no
Supergirl, however, is unnecessary with Wonder Girl + Miss Martian
And he created Gravity. I'll give anything he's writing a try.
Jaime's been pretty adamant about not wanting to get into all the crazy superheroic stuff, and he generally doesn't think too highly of superheroes after being left for dead on an exploding satellite. Throughout his series he's been focused on protecting his home, his family, and his friends. Hell, right now he's tied up in all that Reach business. He doesn't need to go off fighting other peoples' battles when he's got plenty to fight on the home front. I don't see him taking off to San Francisco to hang out with the daughter of a supervillain, a demon sidekick washout, and Batman Jr. without a really good reason. Most likely it'll be tied into the whole, "gathering allies to fight the Reach" thing, or Batman will ask him to join for some reason.
But yeah, the book sliding down the charts to 18,000 monthly copies from 60,000 at its launch probably doesn't need the added exposure.
Also, and I say this every time there's a change in the Titans' line-up, where the fuck is (Son of) Vulcan?

Huh?
It's been Robin, Ravager, Wonder Girl, Kid Devil, Raven and Cyborg since the OYL jump. Well, after the initial "You know this isn't the final team" thing
The only new additions are Jericho and Miss Martian
but I want them to bring the Wonder Twins back
Maybe it's to give Supergirl more exposure?
I like where they're taking the character.
However, I'm not sure of Miss Martian.
Not anything as bad as Raven though.
I mean
some people just don't like demon dick
I wouldn't complain, though
I'm worried that Cyborg and Beast Boy don't appear in the Teen Titans #50 cover though. Perhaps they (along with Nightwing and Donna Troy) can establish a new Titans team or something? Batman's going to be leading the Outsiders pretty soon so Nightwing should have some spare time.
Btw, Kid Devil is fucking awesome.
Oh yeah, I've been re-reading the first three trades and gotten confused over the current lineup.
His name was on the list when Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman were talking about who they wanted in the JLA. But then all that was thrown out when they went and helped Red Tornado and the gang.
The current JLA consists of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Red Arrow (Arsenal), Hal Jordan, Black Lightning, Hawkgirl, Red Tornado and Jynx.

Geo-Force is not shit you fucks.
Agreed. A lot of people don't even seem to know the definition of the bloody word. Sad != Emo.
Bloods End: Geo-Force isn't officially a member of the JLA yet.

But it's cool that he's mixing it up with them.
I still don't like that Supergirl's on the team. This one hasn't done anything to make me like her at all.
