The story line is getting better, although a bit more adult. The "sex scene" is a little off. I understand it's the missionary position, but with the position of the legs it looks like Nightwings getting a little belly button action...:D<P>All in all, not too bad.[/quote]<P>lol yeah I was thinking the same thing. Other then that I'm enjoying Titans, then again like the others have said I too have never read any other Titan titles.Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:48:06 GMTgeorgiafan87http://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxIssue #3: The art is a bit better, still cartoonish, though.

The one liners between them all and the joking, just was fun. Reminds me of the cartoon a little..<br><br>Much like Tinman said though, Ive never read any other Titans books, so maybe I just don't see why this is declared so bad. But I still like it. #2 was better than the first, though..Sat, 24 May 2008 17:17:18 GMTRemote_killhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxYa know, I actually really enjoyed #1. I don't know why it's gotten such rotten reviews. Then again, my last exposure to any "Titans" was in the late 80's so maybe I'm just not jaded enough.<br><br>Looking forward to reading #2!Thu, 22 May 2008 21:09:58 GMTTinmanhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxOK, with #2, not a fan of the art, but the story line seems to be picking up. The art was too cartoonistic, although, I liked the artist's version of Trigon.Thu, 22 May 2008 12:46:30 GMTTitans Collectorhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxThank you Earl. I agree.Sun, 18 May 2008 15:04:31 GMTRemote_killhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxJust read it. I thought it was perfectly fine and I am not a fan of Winick's style as a general rule. I enjoyed it better than recent Teen Titans issues. Good to see Hawk, Dove and Anima were not killed after all as was teased in the Titans Special. Now we just need Garth and Lilith back.<P>Earl.Sun, 18 May 2008 15:02:48 GMTEarl Davishttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxI did not bother. No interest.Thu, 15 May 2008 10:20:12 GMTRingfingerhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxI gave it a try. Liked the art. My fear of Winnick ruining another title had me worried a bit. I also was a huge fan of the 80's Wolfman/Perez Titans books but I think they should move past that era and move the focus to new Teen Titans rather than bringing these characters back together over and over. I will not pick up the next issue. The part two in a #1 issue really ticked me off.Thu, 15 May 2008 04:15:46 GMTYogurthttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspx[quote][b]AuburnTiger (4/22/2008)[/b][hr]Here's the latest bad review I've found:<P align=justify>[i]"Sometimes I despair of DC, I really do.<P align=justify>The Titans are not, frankly, one of the more intrinsically interesting concept in comics. They started off as a junior version of the Justice League, a team composed entirely of kid sidekicks. In practice, over time, they've settled into being a slightly older team, still junior to the Justice League, but relying mainly on their accumulated continuity and lore to make them distinctive. <P align=justify>I approach books that are largely defined by their history with a little scepticism at the best of times. But hey, it's a new title. What the heck. I'll give it a chance.<P align=justify>As I picked it up, I couldn't help thinking: Oh god, it's a DC book. It's bound to be some sort of hideous multi-part crossover mess. But then I stopped, and I reminded myself not to be so cynical. After all, it isn't labelled as a crossover.

Why, it's a series of scenes in which former members of the Titans briefly go about their business before being attacked by demons. One at a time. In fairness, you could say this fulfils the basic requirement of "introducing the cast" - although I'd question whether the scene for Donna Troy actually does that job.<P align=justify>And then at the end, all of the group stand around and discuss what's happening, and then they mention a villain whose name would presumably strike terror into my heart if I'd heard of him.

Didn't we leave each of them being attacked by demons? Did I miss a scene where they, you know, escaped the demons? Flick, flick, flick... no, apparently not. They... just did. Wonderful.<P align=justify>Seriously, now, what is this nonsense? It has the veneer of a professional product, but the more you look at it, the more of a mess it seems.

Ugh, I'm really starting to get worried about reading this, what seems to be, a train wreck.

Its one of the few drawbacks of using an online service store, is waiting for your books and having to order the first few books before you find out if you like the title since your ordering months in advance.Fri, 11 Apr 2008 21:52:44 GMThead-rushhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspx[quote][b]Azhag2 (4/10/2008)[/b][hr]So you guys enjoyed it?

Like some of you I am looking forward to this new/old team.Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:52:40 GMThead-rushhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxI might pick this up as I love the 2 series from the 80's.Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:45:20 GMTUniversal Soldiershttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxI'll be picking it up. The preview they had in Batman and The outsiders just looked awesome.<br><br>I can't wait for this. And I've never been a titans fan, but I never read the earlier stuff where this book will take them back to sort of. But I did read the lastest titans stuff, just didn't do it for me...<br><br>But like i said, this looks really good.<br><br>DC just seems to do no wrong with all their new titles recently over the last year. Every single one of them has been great. They may not stay that way...but, still great to see..Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:27:06 GMTRemote_killhttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic4356-13-1.aspxThis is a breath of fresh air for me. Teen Titans have been slowly spiraling down since OYL. To tell you the truth, I was starting to loose interest in the title. Its about time Dido put someone in charge of the TEEN TITANS title, that will clean house and bring the title back to life. </P><P>On the other hand, though, the new TITANS title looks like it's going to be really good. DC's bringing back the Wolfman/Perez team and starting them off on a sequel of one of my favorite NTT arcs: Terror of Trigon. I definitely recomened this title as a must read. At least for a while.Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:20:48 GMTTitans Collector
