Teen Titans, New Teen Titans, New Titans, Titans, Team Titans, Young Justice, New New Teen Titans, New Teen Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!, S/D

I think that's [indescribably niche trivia alert] from JLI #7, which was running as backup in the UK Superman book and moved over to DC Action after Superman was cancelled.

Cancellations were so dark and lacking in closure back then. You'd turn up to your newsagent on the regular release day and it just wouldn't be there anymore. It was like a way to practice children for experiencing death.

this is the teen titans thread

that's better!

Animal Man + New Teen Titans + JLI is an EVEN BETTER combination.

NTT was the only superhero comic I ever followed* as a kid, packed three or four to an issue in b&w Australian reprints circa 1986. Sometimes all the stories in an issue would follow each other, sometimes they'd be out of order, and sometimes they'd leap over to an unnumbered compilation under a Tales Of The Teen Titans cover focusing on one of the members. To tie into the other thread, I remember trying to process what i was seeing the first time I ever went into a comic shop in the city. "These are... colour reprints... of New Teen Titans comics... that haven't come out yet?"

*(as opposed to reading random issues of superheroes, or to reading every Asterix and Tintin and Footrot Flats collection and Kliban-format Garfield and MAD magazine or Kurtzman-era paperback I could find)

did the X-Men ever have an anti-drug storyline? NTT goes hard on that a couple times in typically ridiculous fashion.

more so in a series of after-school specials paid for by the Reagan govt, though IIRC the Runaways storyline in the regular book leant hard on the "drugs destroy lives and all drugs are the same. don't smoke a drug syringe, kids" vibe

I bought a bunch of the US comics on eBay about seven years ago, to try and read the era of the run I fondly recalled in a more coherent form than originally, but unfortunately it turned out that they were not actually good and looked worse in the original colour printings

i def have that book somewhere

I'm trying to get through Young Justice season 3, and at episode 10 or so and it's been rough. Does it get better? And do I have rose-tinted glasses on or were the first two seasons actually good?
