The Titans #1 [3 scans, edited for html fail]
In which the Titans are big dorks and Lian is adorable.

And later on, discussing who would be good seconds on the teams.

	It's Lian saying that Oracle is the leader of the JLA that makes me always love this issue. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's Lian ~~saying that Oracle is the leader of the JLA~~ that makes me always love this issue. I just love Lian. Of course she's right. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Lian's Owacle line is still the best. What is that jacket Dick's wearing for? Gotham...something? Kinda love some of the clothing choices there. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks! That was my guess for GK but I couldn't remember if there was such a thing as Gotham Knights and if so, what it was! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I always thought that last page was a hideously wasted opportunity for a story, Chuck Dixon never referenced it, nor did Devin, after this... So I wrote my own! :) (Reply to this)

You know I have a little problem with this. Kory should always be welcome to the Titans. No matter the incarnation.
It almost reads like they regard her as a 3rd rate stranger.
I mean like Damn Donna, she's been your best friend for years. Even if you guys have not seen each other in maybe 1 or 2 ( in that continuity)
Whatever.
I recall when this 1st came out and I was just getting into comics, I was so excited about this title being relaunched. I hated how everyone bashed on Devin Grayson.
Looking back, after years of obsessing over the Titans and DCU, I just get a sour look on my face after rereading this panel.
I know it was supposed to be apart of the plot for them to bicker. But it seemed like that's all she concentrated on in her run. Not to mention she further complicated Donna's character with all

"Wahh who am I? C'mon Roy lets do it " bullcrap

I loved the idea of Donna and Roy getting serious. But I hated how Devin wrote it.

meh.

	Kory should always be welcome to the Titans. It seems to me that's what they're saying, and they're only speechless and wary at the beginning because they think Dick and Kory are/have got back together, and apparently they don't think it'd be a good idea so soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ooh, I was hoping that someone would post this. If no one was going to I was because I just love Lian (and the Titans) being cute. (Reply to this)

	I was just reading The Technis Imperative today and thinking that he really should wear that shirt more often... then it popped up again. And it was good. (Also, I think it's awesome that he says J'onn's leading the JLA, because I do, as cute as Lian is...) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I miss when this group. BTW whatever happened to Garth, he just up and disappeared?? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Garth? Or Gar? Garth was never on Doom Patrol (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, right. My bad. Where GARTH is at the moment, I have no idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I last saw him in a solicit for Titans did he ever show up? He should always be on the Titans when Aquaman isn't around. I dislike it when he's left out considering he help found the damn team. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psychop_rex 2009-05-31 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	Well, yes, but none of the original members are on the team at the moment, so that hardly counts. And I don't know where Garth is; the last time I saw him was years ago in an issue of 'Superman'. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I’m still convinced that Martian Manhunter was leading the JLA at the time. I mean, Wally was actually IN that JLA so he’d know, right? (Reply to this)

You know, this is a pretty good blueprint for how the Titans SHOULD be written - as old friends. I mean, the core members of the JLA and JSA and so forth have all known each other for years, but it's generally more of a 'knowing and respecting your colleagues' situation than their actually being friends (Wally and Kyle's buddyship notwithstanding). The Titans, however, have been hanging out together, in one incarnation or another, since the very beginning. In the early years, they hung out in their clubhouse and listened to records; in later incarnations, they dated each other, got involved in each other's lives, and met each other's families (who sometimes consisted of six-eyed demons trying to conquer the earth). They've thrown birthday parties for each other, organized each other's weddings, gone out to movies, talked excitedly about their new apartments - they're friends. That's what makes them so interesting - they genuinely care about one another, and get-together lunches like this are evidently par for the course. That's the main thing that I think the new team is lacking - they're not only not friends, they HATE each other!
