    when Brother Blood resurrected her early on in Johns' run, she came back as a 16 year old.

    That's creepy.

    And yet, it doesn't deter me.

    Of course she is at least 17, with that whole "1 year later" thing.
    well, bear in mind that the current Bro Blood is like 14. And a creepy motherfucker.

    Also, Beast Boy will fight you if you lay a hand on her.

    I am looking forward to Marv's Raven miniseries this year.

    Geoff Johns is leaving Titans, Adam Beechen is replacing him

    It kind of stinks that Johns is done with it, because the book's been pretty good since OYL, but I also enjoy Beechen's Robin.[/url]

    I am happy to give Beechen a shot, but I'm sad to see Daniel leave. He's just starting to hit his stride with these characters.

    Aw, I kind of wish that the newly exclusive Sean McKeever would get this book. Still, Beechen wrote one of my favorite Blue Beetle stories ever (JLU #5) and had a pretty great, fun run on JLU. Maybe he'll be able to dial back the angst a little bit and write some good stories without as much editorially mandated content as his first arc on Robin. I mean, I feel bad for the guy. Robin was his first big title and he essentially got hamstrung by being handed an extremely controversial, pointless, and retarded story point and being forced to write around it.

    Awesome news about Cassie though. Glad to see DC turned around on that one so damn quick.

    Two wrongs don't make a right, not even in comics.


    If you think using a mind controlling space alien is good in any context... then let's agree to have a difference of opinion.

    I haven't checked out the latest issue yet, but TTs has been one of my pulls since the OYL reboot. It's good stuff. That's tough to admit, given my bias towards punching Geoff Johns in the throat.

    I'm a long time marvel fan and, while I do appreciate quite a bit of the DC universe for the compelling stories and characters it provides, I haven't had too much exposure to the DC-verse post circa-2000 AD.

    but now...well...I think i've fallen in love with the teen titans show. so, my question is, how different is the main titans series from the show and is it as good as I hope? I know there's an offshoot comic continuing the tv show but I'm more interested in titans canon. where should I start? and do I need to have an intimate knowledge of the DC universe apart from the mythos of batman, superman, and green lantern?
