Just the major ones, as I recall. I don't believe the Justice League arc ever got into the nuts and bolts. It merely introduced the broad strokes, as far I know.

Sheesh, who are these people?! (the characters I mean). All and all, the issue looks good, but why are they having new writers? I thought Sean McKeever was the official writer now. Then again, I haven't got TT's since issue 61 or something like that. :sweatdrops:

DARN YOU MANGA!

Oh man, I hadn't even heard about that part with Vic. Could you scan that?

Christ, DT was right, they've all but wiped away any character development Gar has had since the mid-nineties.

I don't even get what happened. Wasn't this the whole point of the character issues? Not even just Gar's issues--the sub plot running through Vic, Kory, and Raven's issues was Gar taking the reigns of leadership for the Teen Titans. Even the Blackest Night tie-in set that up. So what the hell happened?

I can think of two things that may have happened:

1) Someone along the line decided that Cassie shouldn't be playing second fiddle to Garfield, and overwrote the decision to have Gar take leadership. Felicia, not knowing too much about Gar to begin with and seeming to have no guidance, took that to mean Gar should be a bumbler.

2) When they sent the e-mail telling Felicia the synopsis for the series, a typo reversed Gar and Cassie so that it read--"Cassie will become a mentor to Garfield" instead of "Garfield will become a mentor to Cassie". Felicia proceeded to write the series with such in mind. Editorial, having failed to do its job properly, didn't notice the mistake until after it was printed, and is now stuck. Or, more likely, they still don't know what's going on, and one day in the future someone will come to them and say "Wait, shouldn't it be Gar leading the Titans and mentoring Cassie". To which their surprise will quickly be excused by saying "Um... uh... well... no. No, this is exactly what we had planned the entire time. Yep."

I choose to believe the latter, since I zero confidence in Titans editorial to even act competently anymore.

There is definitley something up about this matter...but can they truly make such a bumbling mistake like that?

Well, sorry to say that the TT are off my list, at least until a proper editorial team gets in on this, cause now it's gone down the sh*thole.

Not... really. Let's be honest with ourselves. The character issues were filler designed to kill time. It's completely obvious they didn't know what to do with any of the characters and put those there to kill time while they figured out what they were going to do with the title. Which eventually turned out to be "send three to the Justice League, send two to the Teen team and change direction with it".

I don't know about anyone else, but it doesn't feel like Gar is being a buffoon or anything here; maybe this is just me, but it feels like everyone is being a complete and utter ass to him for next to no reason.

Maybe a form of psychic warfare? Someone is trying to isolate Gar from the rest of the Titans by undermining his links with them?

I'm going with that until proven otherwise.
