I've got vol.'s 1-4 of the Johns Titans in TPB (it's what got me back into the titans). What I liked about them was that they weren't really hard to find and they were really affordable ($9.99!).

My question (and request) is that should DC release Young Justice and/or Devin Grayson's Titans like this and would you buy them? I would!

Young Justice is hard enough for me to find as it is! They're rereleasing Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. in TPB's, why not these?

Well, I don't like either.

I own most of Young Justice, but I think it would be an awesome idea to collect them in digest form. Man, that book was hilarious

I own half of Yj, but it is very hard to find all the issues I have giving up on collecting them.

I'd buy a B&W Showcase of Young Justice, probably not full color, full price TPBs.

I own every issue of Young Justice, but I'd much rather have 'em in trades so I can dump the back issues to save space. Grayson's Titans not so much.

The initial arcs of the Grayson Titans, yeah..not the DEO kids stuff though. YJ, nah..if they collected Impulse though, I'd pick that up.

I'd like to see the Jurgens arc "Then and Now" collected as well as some of the Titans mini's- a collection of fab five mini's- NW, Arsenal, Tempest, Flash and Donna troy.

Dc dropped the ball with the 99 Titans, the team was awsome but the writing pretty much crap for the most part. Some cool moments early on though.

I loved World without Grownups, and I've got the first Young Justice trade - and have had for years, but I hated Sins of Youth so much that I haven't found the will to read it.

I did some asking on the classics forum (I think) about The Titans (1999) and was told to avoid it like the plague.

IMVHO, I absolutely *loved* "Sins of Youth" which I bought in trade format.

I really liked "Young Justice" and I was very sorry to see it come to an end. Was it due for cancellation, or was it just to enable YJ members becoming part of the new Teen Titans?

Would most def buy some YJ trades! At a time I had pretty much given up on comics (Marvel was retarded at the time and DC wasn't much farther behind) the only books that kept me going were Green Lantern (Kyle), Flash (Wally), and my all-time #1, Young Justice!!

Young Justice--YES! Especially very early and very late in the runs. Those were the best parts.

90's Titans. It's not awful, but an ok pickup if you're a fan of the characters.

If you can get the JLA vs. Titans TPB, I thought that was actually pretty good and Devin Grayson's best Titans work.

I never had any interest in the 90's Titans books, but Young Justice TPB's might interest me. I picked up some issues of YJ, but never on a consistant basis.

Whats funny is that John's run on Teen Titans has really made me love the characters of Superboy, Robin, and Bart. That fact, combined with my obsession with Red Tornado would like lead to me picking up some trades. Come to think of it, I'm a big Peter David fan as well. I'm starting to wonder why I never picked up YJ to begin with.

Young Justice - Most definately.

Titans - Maybe, and only the first two trades if I get any.

I wouldn't, but only because I own all of the issues anyway. But Young Justice was a great series nevertheless, and if it meant giving others a chance to access the series through TPB to see what the kids were like before DC editorial/Johns decided to suck the joy out of them, I would dish out the money to do that!

Grayson's run on Titans was, at best, mediocre (although I did enjoy some issues of it at the time), and as widely-despised as it was by Titans fans, I couldn't really blame DC for not wanting to collect it. Plus, much of the series is irrelevant now anyway, since most of the ramifications the stories had on the characters (Cyborg finally getting a human appearance, Starfire returning to Tamaran) were already undone within a few years of Grayson leaving the title. The best thing about those first couple years of the title was really the line-up of characters... miswritten, though they were.

I just picked the first two trades of Johns Titans, thought it was excellent stuff. Does anybody know if they traded any of the early 80s Titans I allways heard that was the best Titans stuff.

Yeah, the 80's Titans (wolfman/perez) are partially collected but mostly in ARCHIVE editions, which I think is pretty expensive considering my local comic shop sells the single issues between $3 and $1! I picked up NewTitans 1-3 for $3 each! I usually can't stand to read comics from the early 80's and before (something about the dialogue...) but I love that era of Titans. Great reads.

Back to subject...So aside from those who have every issue (I hate you all :( ) alot of people seem like they'd buy YJ tpb's. What would get DC's attention for something like this? I mean, over at Marvel, Cable and Deadpool tpb's were in demand for awhile and they went back to press (I know cause I bought em'). I know this is just wishful thinking for me but I'd like to know.

*also...I loved Sins of Youth! Have nearly every issue.
