Thank you so much for bringing that up, but now I won't be happy until that happens.<br /><br />This book has been an utter mess since the New 52 started-Lobdell and Pfeiffer-and hopefully, this is just a couple issues to reset it and get a new creative team in with a (kind of) fresh start.<br /><br />I think Titans Hunt has the potential to be really good, and feels like a reaction to this book being a shit sandwich.Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-15879035527030356572015-10-26T17:39:42.740-04:002015-10-26T17:39:42.740-04:00Fuck this comic...Really, just fuck it.

Why not one of the guys writing Gotham Academy or even Brian Q. Miller if they needed a fresh perspective?<br /><br />The new 52 version of the Titans blows and IMO is beyond redemption at his point. Maybe the Titans Hunt series could savage this mess, but i doubt it.<br /><br />RIP Teen Titans, you lived as you died: a steaming pile of shitAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650932675294811949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-33922162456448601662015-10-24T21:14:34.506-04:002015-10-24T21:14:34.506-04:00i hear you...I also have heard people complaining ...i hear you...I also have heard people complaining about Will's run since it began. Whichever way you look at it, this book is a mess--I have not liked this run and while I didn't read the entire Lobdell run, I'm hoping beyond hope that any change will be good. I really just want a new start with a new creative team.Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-17553628960411868032015-10-24T19:06:02.570-04:002015-10-24T19:06:02.570-04:00The issue really felt like it came at the back end...The issue really felt like it came at the back end of Lobdell's run... which is to say that I found it completely unreadable, especially when all they did was blabber on about things that happened in Lobdell's run as if nothing had happened in between. Seriously though, I read maybe half of the issue then just started flipping pages to see if it went anywhere... and just got Deus Ex Harvest reducing everyone to tears. Not one mention of what was going on elsewhere.<br /><br />The issue really felt like a torpedo to the book Will was writing, it was going somewhere and we had a really big fight in the offering, but now we get to wait an extra month to actually see it because we had to send Superboy off into the void again. Imagine watching the Battle of Pelennor where the Rohirrim is charging across the plain, everything is very exciting, but just before they crash into the orc army, someone changes the channel to something featuring a monkey throwing a fit. Thats what this felt like. And now I am dreading that when we return to the ongoing story, it will all be over.<br /><br />Considering how little I liked the previous volume of Teen Titans, I dearly hope #13 feels more like Will is writing, otherwise I may just be leaving this till Lobdell is gone.Outside_85noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-22288762338572905152015-10-24T14:10:21.873-04:002015-10-24T14:10:21.873-04:00If Johns could somehow be pulled away from the bat...If Johns could somehow be pulled away from the batman movie, his work overseeing the adaption side of things, and Justice League...This would be a good fit for him. Though I suspect this wouldn't be his first choice sadly. <br /><br />Perhaps that guy they have on Titans Hunt? Dan Abnett? He seems a bit rough on Roy, but at least he seems to go places with his writing.Wonderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14637644402699981466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-41654914531894812562015-10-24T11:39:30.377-04:002015-10-24T11:39:30.377-04:00I agree...maybe Lobdell (and Harvest) are back to ...I agree...maybe Lobdell (and Harvest) are back to get the team back together and after January we will get a whole new creative team and direction.

Just tell me that he is of weed now and can actually write half decent. Okay serious question though is Bart and Connor back for good though I hate them being of the team it isn't complete without them? I hope this book goes in a more consistent tone and doesn't envolve Mandhester Black twiddling his mustache but omfw do I not want to see Harvest again. Another question as I haven't read this yet is the elite vs Titans thing still a thing or what?Stephen Liggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166540657485298674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-20771914441441217272015-10-23T12:02:05.384-04:002015-10-23T12:02:05.384-04:00Well the Durlans had whats coming to them lesson o...Well the Durlans had whats coming to them lesson of the story never shit down another person's mind right jim, but ah yea i havent been of a fan of this book from the start only picked up to see kon kick ass after his book and the original were canceled...for some reason. They drop you midstory missing memebers and Harvest whole darth vader i am your daddy thing didn't work for me, kon was basically the living organ donor for jon lane kent the son of lois and clark and with that book in play and them having a son would have been pretty cool.mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699095280533243432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-16039640324757124842015-10-23T08:38:14.691-04:002015-10-23T08:38:14.691-04:00I feel that they should have let pfeifer end his s...I feel that they should have let pfeifer end his story at least before replacing him with lobdell because it feels like the last 7 issues have been a waste of time but it's just imo though .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03170306863147730276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-13052068631878010672015-10-23T05:15:48.315-04:002015-10-23T05:15:48.315-04:00This was what I was talking about Tim and Harvest ...This was what I was talking about Tim and Harvest being connected although they may change the fact that future Tim became an omniscient anti-aging scientist and set them apart yet they can stay true to this fact and elaborate on it.
