The Geoff Johns era of the Titans has one of my favorite panels ever It's when Superboy learns that he's not only a clone of Superman, but Lex Luthor (I know, just roll with it), and he learns it by it showing a picture of Lex on his computer... And the picture is this smugass photo of Lex just mugging to the camera like it's for his dating profile. It's just hilarious.

[@starbird3939]

Like the last panel would have been sweet if drawn better: Raven is emotionally exhausted and traumatized. Wonder Girl wants to make sure she is ok. So they stay with each other to make sure things are alright. This would have been cute. Too bad Liefeld doesn’t know how to actually do cute.

I remember a fanfic where Raven and another girl Titan sitting in the dark did in fact lead to adult situations. Cartoon version of the team, so Starfire.

Wish I could remember the author's name, they had some good stuff.

[@RangerDanger9396]

It's sad to see how Liefeld's art degraded so early on. Back in 1988, his Hawk and Dove stuff was really good! The art was top-notch, people looked like people, guns looked like guns, it was all really good! Too bad he fell so far so early on.

I've gotta give credit where credit is due. Liefeld's art has gotten significantly better over the years. I mean, look at those proportions. Granted, they can't be achieved without plastic surgery, but they ARE achievable. That is a huge leap forward for him. And some of those characters actually have feet!

[@carlrood4457]

The thing with Holly is she literally came out of nowhere, like Black Lightning's kids. Dawn had no siblings and her parents were together in the previous Hawk & Dove series. Suddenly she has a sister with and there was some sort of Parent Trap backstory.

[@rwg6357]

which you can make work if you just sit and explain and TELL the story. The problem with Holly is GEOFF DIDN'T DO THAT, He introduced her and then Ran off like he always does. I like the concept of Holly I do... but that's all she is an unfinished Concept. How is Holly Hawk? The Hawk was bonded to Hank when he merged with T'Char. Geoff tries to hand wave this by saying the OTHER lords of Chaos did it. but the Other lords of chaos and order HATE the concept of Balance. They considered Terataya and T'char Heretics and Traitors to their respective sides. Geoff's johns BIGGEST sin as a writer, is his bad habit of trying to throw a million ideas out there and expecting other people to pick up the hook for him.

[@Rabbitlord108]

Considering what happened in Armageddon 2001. Just be glad they didn't revive Holly as a new version of Monarch.

Okay I'll admit this, I'm about 13 minutes in and Rob's artwork is actually decent here, for a 3$-ish comic I'd take it. You can absolutely see the flaws, but if you go back and look at any part of Young Blood they aren't nearly as apparent.

To be fair to the revolving door of death in DC, the main personification of Death Death of the endless aka Didi (apparently?) Is incredibly busy.

I was hoping you'd cover these issues. They are painful and poor Gail Simone comes out the worse for the wear. The problem too is that it also marks the decline of the title as Johns began to seem less interested to the point where about a year later he'd bow out in the middle of a storyline. The rest of the series really suffered from one lackluster creative team to another until the final team, which was doing great, but ended abruptly to make way for the New 52.

He was just stopping by to correct something." "No, I mean, I don't know how to process this.

Not entirely sure how it exactly works, only that it's hard to remove the helmet and people tend to be hesitant to put it on, let alone put it _back_ on.

[@Ashurman666]

Not just the helmet but also the amulet and cloak. And the thing is, when one becomes Dr Fate they loose who they are and Nabu simply takes over. And sometimes the thing Nabu does to preserve order are...sketchy at best since he doesn't care who he has to kill as long as order is preserved, hence why people often hesitate to become Dr Fate. As for Specter and Eclipso, while Eclipso is known as an agent of chaos, Specter is the Spirit of Vengeance so i don't think he is in any way related to the lords of Order/Chaos. Specter is mostly related to The Presence, AKA DC's version of God

Awww -- I guess even Gail has off days. Though I'm with you that exploring the Titans' various family issues while bowling would have been a lot more interesting -- a good sort of "breather issue." Hell, maybe you could even keep Christina and Aja pulling off their crime and have them claim "daddy issues," only for the heroes to shoot that down as a dumb excuse. (And it is just me, or was anyone else expecting Christina to be a new look for Duela Dent? The girl who seems to be the kid of some of Batman's most iconic villains would have been a good person to bring back for this!) ...Also I kind of liked Beast Boy's stupid "Jurassic" joke. Sue me. :P

Robin on the first page looks like he's about to cast a spell

Seeing how Liefeld draws teenagers, I think he would be a great artist for JoJo.

[@spideyviewer327]

Damn true. XD

[@ilopominecrafter]

Or better yet: liefeld was inspiration for jojo art given the time period

I don't know what it was, but the scorecard gag landed perfectly.

I got my hopes up that the ending might be alluding to a Static Shock comic but oh well.

5:05 Funny, some of them don't really look like teens in DCUO either. Some aren't even teens at all.

What happened to Hawk will covered in an Event Comics month? Are we getting a review of Armageddon: 2001?! If so, cool!

[@AT4W]

Not in the coming year, but Armageddon 2001 got a decent amount of votes for Event Comics Month III, so I suspect it'll happen sooner rather than later.

@@AT4W Fine with me. Thank you for replying! 👍

​@@AT4W yeah but that would require addressing Dove's... Reverse Ms Marvel from the JSA run
