dammit. i wanted to be first “YOU ARE WRONG, sir, WRONG!!!” post.

i’m a fan of that Big Green Martian, and i kinda like Li’l Greenie, but….. well…. evil white alien martian badness isn’t as much fun as i think DC hoped it would be. as much as i hate to say this, are they anything more than albino skrulls?

OMG…. _THAT’s_ the secret invasion!!! Marvel slipped a skrull onto the Titans!!!

Just occurred to me that I forgot to mention Clock King sleeping with Disruptor as seeming inordinately referential to Deathstroke banging Terra back in the day…

As long as it’s resolved. I really don’t need another Sentry. Crazy only takes the story so far.

“Tom Grice Says:”

Matthew’s taught us that everything you say is wrong, sir. Just wrong.

Thanks for reviewing Teen Titans Matthew. I’m a huge Titan’s fan, loved the new team before OYL, then they killed my favorite characters :( But the newer team is still decent.

As much as I enjoy ‘dealing with your darker nature’ stories, how many times can they do it in a row? I liked watching these characters grow up, but, I think it’s time for a different angle.

Please review more Titans!

Hello! That’s right, I am back and pretty as ever. Now, as for the Titans: I still think this is one of the better DC books right now. The Future Titans story wasn’t as good as the original from earlier in the series, but still pretty good. I like the Terror Titans! nothing I like better than a Heel stable with a wimpy manager to throw salt or hit you with a cane when you aren’t looking, and the Clock King seems to be just that sort of guy, a combination of Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji with Bobby Hennan’s brains. Now that, my friends, is entertainment. The Teen Titans definetly suffered from the OYL jump, but it seems to be back to hitting its stride. And I don’t think there is a more interesting team dynamic right now (until Secret Six returns) than Ravager, Kid Devil, and Ms. Martian.

I agree with Jacin B. On the same lines, think about Raven. Hasn’t she recently gone back to school? Where did she get her identity and why is it any different than Megan’s request?

With the exception of members brought over prior to OYL, I could care less about this team. On the same note, I think that One Year Later shot this series in the foot, and it is still on crutches. I’m at the point now that I wish somebody would put this series out of it’s misery, and mine. Another example of what can happen when a good series is forced to change for a company crossover.

Yeah, I was a little lost as to why Robin wouldn’t forge papers for her.

How many fake identities does he (or Bruce, or Dick) have … ? Wouldn’t those identities have required the same sort of document forgery that he claims is just over that legal line that he refused to cross for Megan?
