Beechen's taking on COUNTDOWN TO ADVENTURE - a new miniseries featuring Animal Man, Starfire and Adam Strange (art by Joe Bennett) - so he has left TITANS to accomodate the schedule (which also includes being part of COUNTDOWN).

Sean McKeever moves over to TITANS in his place with #50 (a jam issue which'll also include Marv Wolfman, George Perez and Todd Nauck) and then take over the book solo with #51.

Looks like there will be a new Teen Titans roster as well.

To me, the big news of that article is that Teen Titans may yet be saved.

Cool line-up. I wonder what they are doing with Cyborg, Raven, and Jericho?

Never let it be said that DC doesn't listen to its fans. The party line may be that Beechen is too busy to do Teen Titans, but my money is on the resounding flop of his Titans East conclusion being the reason McKeever is being given the book.

Could be wrong, of course....

Cool. Blue Beetle AND Supergirl. Power levels are getting up there and nearly matching the Justice League.

Yeah, it's a bit hard to swallow that he would voluntarily leave one of DC's better-selling ongoing books for a mini that may be a tough sell.

Aw shucks. I really like Beechen's writing and was looking forward to a long run on Titans.

But at least we'll get a fun story with Animal Man, Adam Strange and Starfire. Yay!

To me, Beechen was put in a bad position and not necessarily the problem with Titans--at least it was too early to tell.

The immediate problem with the book was the art. The artist has to go.

Lex

To me it looks like they're turning the Titans into Justice League Jr. I don't have a problem with adding Blue Beetle and Supergirl (she wasn't sucky in Legion, so I have hopes here), but where are the Titans characters like Cyborg and Raven?

titanfan
05-14-2007, 11:15 AM
There could be someone else on the cover in the lower right that we can't see.

I agree though--at this point, just rename the book Young Justice.

I know Raven has a mini-series coming out this year, so they could write her out, but what about Cyborg? He's been at the heart of this version of the Titans.

Lex
05-14-2007, 11:15 AM
Just one more thing: I have no doubt that McKeever will write some good, fun stories for Titans. So while I'm sad we're losing Beechen, I know Titans will still have a good writer.

Vertigo is letting Beechen write a story with Animal Man? Didn't they only let DC use him for 52 if Grant wrote it?

and hopefully this will explain what happens with Starfire after her collapse...

What's to explain? She was tired after flying across half the galaxy to return Buddy's jacket to his wife (still thinking he was dead) and the shock of seeing Buddy alive overwhelmed her exhausted brain. Other than that she's perfectly fine.

Good. Now if we can just get Beechan off of Robin.

The lineup should be good though I think Supergirl and Blue Beetle are not the best fits.

Cyborg should be there. It's like the JLA with out Martian Manhunter or the Avengers without Cap....

Re: McKeever on Teen Titans...

The last issue was horrible. So this is great news to me.

I'm no fan of Geoff Johns, given he's responsible for killing some of my favorite Titans characters during IC. But after reading Beechan's first full issue on the title, I felt like weeping. So this is huge change for the better.

I'm curious to know what happened to her after that. Buddy usually spends his time with family, so nothing really new there. Strange is back on Rann with his family, no big change again.

Starfire was usually with a team or up to something. She's gone a year, no idea what happened to the Titans or Outsiders, and suddenly she collapses and nothing is explained about what she did if she came to (if she eventually did assuming...)

Since I don't remember her being in issue 52...of 52, that would possibly be a week at least she was out of it, if not more in OYL. I'm just curious to see her reactions to this new Earth that she's finally back on after a year of the Crisis...

Though I vaguely recall her being in Action Comics during the Auctioneer storyline with Busiek, but I may be wrong...

Awesome news. Looks like I'll be sticking with Titans after all. And that Countdown To Adventure could actually be pretty good, too. Beechen doesn't exactly have my unwavering confidence, but because of the characters involved, along with Joe Bennett on art duties, I'll probably give the first issue a try.

This is really poor, I'll rather have seen another Mystery in Space title, why does everything have to have Countdown in the name. I'll rather another Jim Starlin Mini, starring Adam Strange or other space heroes. Animalman is not a space hero, even though I love him, his a family man, as if, his gonna leave his family so soon, especially after nearly dying. It better be written well.

I'm not interested in this writer, and definately not interested in Starfire. The new character looks lame. Kinda disapointed they have so many space heroes, L.E.G.I.O.N, Omega Men, Starman, etc. So many great writers not getting any work. This just looks so gimmicky.

I'm not a big fan of Randy Green's art although he does do young characters well.

That's an awesome and pretty powerful lineup to boot, I'm wondering if Blue Beetle will really join them though since John Rogers said something about it being a one off thing but maybe he didn't reveal everything. BB would make a great fit on that team IMO but he lives kind of far away from Titans Tower so maybe they'll keep the "weekend Titan" thing alive.

As for Sean McKeever I have a really good feeling about him. His Inhumans and Mystique book were really good runs and he knows how to write a team book with young people so this should be good.

About Beechen:

SWEET! He's not on TT, so I'll still be reading!


About Sean McKeever:

SWEET! It's not Beechen! Haven't seen any of this guy's work, but hopefully, it will be good.

About the new lineup (aka: the end of my positivity):

SWEET! It got many people from the current line-up, Blue Beetle, and......

Oh, damn. WW and SG on the same title, again? DANG IT!!!!! I was about to read this title again!


Overall:

Really, I'll give it an issue or two. I hate the fact that those backstabbing (see Amazon Attacks solicits), angst-filled, "blonde justice" chicks are in this line-up, but hey, maybe Sean can add some magic that JK sure has not on SG.

Given I never read Robin or his so-called "Batgirl Nonsense" other than what was presented in Titan's East and didn't mind what I saw of Batgirl in the book... I can assure you it's not just a case of people whining. Teen Titans is the only DC book I get, and that was due to including Kid Devil.

After reading the hand-off from Geoff Johns, I don't agree with whining being the reason.

I'm no Geoff Johns fan (he killed Pantha and Baby Wildebeest!), but once Beechan took over fully it was a huge step down. The last issue was a huge mess in my opinion, both plot and dialogue wise. Having only been on since Issue #44, I was prepared to drop the book upon seeing how bad it was.

If you look up the threads here about OYL pod-Cass I'm sure you'll understand why people will be pissed for a long time. Titans East is slightly better but it's by no means "saved" Cass. It didn't help that his issues made her basically a joke in combat and did a horrible job of explaining why she's now a crappy martial artist.

I've read his JLU. It's mediocre at best. The writers on TTG are much better.

I'd say after years of non-use, and the success of 52, Vertigo no longer has any claim on Animal Man.

He was created as a DCU character, and Grant Morrison's revision was always supposed to be a DCU character. It was only the post-Morrison issues (that seem to have been punched out of continuity, as far as I can tell) that were Vertigo, and they were not wildly successful, even by Vertigo standards.

The Animal Man that people know and love is DCU. It looks like DC has figured that out now.

I've really enjoyed Beechan's run on Robin. I was looking forward to him taking over TT. Still, McKeever is an excellent replacment.

I can't wait for Countdown to Adventure. Aminal Man and Adam Strange are 2 of my faovurite DC characters. I was hoping something would be done with both characters post-52.

I am looking forward to Countdown to Adventure since I have always enjoyed DC space stories but it seems that I'll be dropping Teen Titans since if there is one character in the entire DC universe I can't tolerate it is the new Supergirl. First the LOSH got desecrated by her presence and annoying personality now the Titans. Who is next? Green Lantern Corps? JSA? JLA?
The only good issue with that super punk was that Brave & Bold issue by Waid.
I am disappointed with this future line although I like the fact that Ravager and Kid Devil are still there and joined with Blue Beetle.

He does even worse with her fighting skills then with her personality (she's actually quite intelligent and hates death as much as Batman).

Every time he writes her Cass ends up being beaten up like she's a rookie super with no training whatsoever.

When before OYL she was a freakin' *bullet-timer* who made Batman sweat in combat. And she's someone who is tough enough to give *Shiva* a run for her money in person combat.

Actually, it was all explained in recent issues of TT.... IF anyone actually paid attention and not place the blame entirely on Beechen for how she handled.

She was drugged and manipulated by Deathstroke. The ramifications of such were felt in Robin's title. Beechen unduly received the majority of the harsh criticism for what was done.

Seriously, people need to let things play out before jumping to conclusions.

I also felt that there was obviously a lot more going on than what was revealed then and I was going take the "wait and see" attitude.

Besides, I don't consider what happened less than a year ago to be a retcon, but rather an ongoing sub-plot with one particular character. In this case Batgirl.... who was "fixed" thanks to who again? Oh yeah, Geoff Johns AND Adam Beechen.

Cassandra Cain cannot Read and Write, that is how her powers work.

Beecham not only had her being able to Read and Write, he had Robin identifying her by the fact she could.

It makes no sense, has never been addressed and proves that Beecham did not even know the basics on who she is.

I don't remember the issue, but I know Batman taught both Cassandra and Tim to read and write the Navajo language, as well as teaching her to read and write English. (She needed to know English first to understand Navajo.)

Prior to that though, Barbara Gordon did have limited success in teaching Cassandra some linguistic skills.

Incredibly limited success.

In Batgirl 67 Barbara points out that Cas Cannot Read and Write, and that's two issues after her last Contact with Batman himself in issue 65.

Beechen then deciding that Batman had taught both Cassandra and Tim to read and write the Navajo language, as referenced in Robin, is a huge continuity glitch, and it has yet to be addressed.

I am really excited about McKeever replacing Beechen. Beechen has yet to do anything to impress me with any of his work so far, while I tend to enjoy McKeever's work a lot.

So needless to say, I was really excited when I started reading the article over at Newsrama. I because noticably less excited, however, when I read that Ale Garza is on art duty. His work ranges from passable to horrible in my book. I've just never been a fan of his style. I hate when a book teams a created I love with one that I dislike. I'm not sure how I feel about Teen Titans now.

It's a retcon. Cass was originally meant to be a villain post OYL, but when fandom didn't like it DC changed things so Cass would appear in Supergirl and TT. It was all done very sloppily, too.

Johns' Titans East arc was an improvement and offered some hope for Cass. For a second. Then they continued making her an inept, stupid killer with no explanation as to why the drugs made her be able to read, speak like a James Bond villain, be an inferior martial artist and basically make her a killer.

Her "turn" in WW III wasn't a good explanation, either. 1) She was still in the Batgirl garb despite quitting in her last issue of the series, she was swayed easily by Deathstroke (despite the last time they spoke she hated his guts [and this is prior to Bludhaven being destroyed]) and it was like they were talking like old buddies.

They had a golden oppotunity with the drug angle, but they blew that, as well.

They could have made her an anti-hero killer if they bothered with the direction cass took in the last issue of Cass series, but they ignored it entirely.

I suppose a case could be made quite easily that it takes place before the events of TT. Ditto for what's going on with Flash with things going on AFTER the events of TT.

They should have done the transitions more smoothly. It still looks ad-hoc at best.

DC hasn't been able to cleanly put this in chronological order. Makes sense, really, since it's all been improvised (except for the OYL Robin arc).

Whoa, this news really slipped me by! McKeever coming on is good news. Mostly, I just want Titans to be consistent again. Randy Green isn't my favorite artist, but he's not terrible. I kinda liked the artist on 47, Chris Batista. I would have preferred for him to become the regular penciller or have Tony Daniels back.

man, talk about "girl power"I know! Wondergirl, Supergirl, and Miss Martian? That's a bit much. I'd prefer it if Supergirl was traded for Raven and Cyborg and Beast Boy were back. I don't know anything about the new Blue Beetle. I hope I like him, because otherwise I'll be upset if he's on the team and Raven, Cyborg, or Beast Boy aren't.

There could be someone else on the cover in the lower right that we can't see.

I agree though--at this point, just rename the book Young Justice.

If only.

Well, but only if they were going to bring back the humor. I'm not interested in a Young Justice book that tries to be mega-serious like the Titans.
