http://www.cbr.com/percy-on-the-friendship-that-hopefully-unites-the-teen-titans/ This interview is helping to get me more excited for the Rebirth version of the team. Also features new pages featuring Raven:     I'm really happy that my favorite team, and two of my favorite heroes in general (Beast Boy and Raven), might actually be in a respectable comic again.

The Teen Titans of the Earth One series (two volumes, written by Jeff Lemire) aren't too shabby. I say that as someone who's never read the classic Titans stories, only bits of the modern dreck.

I thought they were alright myself after I read them. I liked how they went in a wildly different direction with the characters' origins, and that they went with romances that aren't the usual Beast Boy/Raven, Beast Boy/Terra, Robin/Raven, Robin/Starfire that tends to dominate modern Teen Titans stuff. But, I wasn't too invested into the plot and yet another evil Jericho thing was just plain tiresome to me.

Then post a current pic. Also, Damien Scott's work is clearly influenced by manga, why is that a bad thing? I enjoyed his work on Batgirl.

It's not necessarily bad, just particularity notable among the usual awfulness of DC's bland, gritty house style. That said, manga-lite art is always gonna be running a thin line between inspiration and "badly aping".

It's different and as you say, notable. quote:That said, manga-lite art is always gonna be running a thin line between inspiration and "badly aping". Have you seen Pat Gleason's art on Superman? According to your metric it's bad, but I really enjoy it. Here's the current design for the Teen Titans, Raven in the lower right corner.  Yes, it's manga-influenced, but I see "energetic and dynamic" rather than "badly aping." It's a matter of opinion. And it's certainly not the Ame-Comi stuff, which sounds more like what you're talking about. Let's just say we disagree, because we have different tastes.

Just looked at that Solo issue, and realized I spelled his name wrong. Damion Scott. Good stuff. I love all the energy. Totally agree with WH on the DC house style, I wish more artists took inspiration from others, rather than Jim Lee. Check out this pic from Wizard back in the day:

Decent enough, albeit heavily stylized. Everything regarding size and perspective here is wonky as hell and really bad. This one is pretty good.

You guys are looking at the crotch arrow. Personally I'm more interested in Elektra's Omega Red style tentacle coming from her boob. I gotta say, I'm not a fan of either of those images. They're both vibrant and colorful, sure, but that's where the positives end. That picture of Superman is really ugly. How is he twisting that his waist looks like that? Why are his hands melting into his shirt? Where's his hair? I won't pretend I know a ton about art, but I'm not a fan. yes I know it's not Elektra

SonicRulez posted:yes I know it's not Elektra Also the Omega Red-style tentacle is wiring being broken apart. One doesn't have to "know a lot about art" to discuss art (particularly comic book art), it's just better to say why you do or don't like something than just smugly say "that sucks."

Terrible magazine that had fun art and funny captions. Oh poo poo, I thought it was Shiva in red for whatever reason. That's cool. I remember the old Marvel vs DC stuff vaguely. Ben Reilly was Spider-Man at the time and I think he fought shades jacket Superboy.

Then let's! I recall reading that this version of the team is manipulated by Damian into coming together. Other than that and the two pics posted, I don't know anything about the new series. Hoping it's good, because Teen Titans has been suffering for longer than I care to remember.
