Teen Titans #83; May 2010

Written by FELICIA D. HENDERSON • Co-feature written by REX OGLE • Art and cover by JOE BENNETT and JACK JADSON • Co-feature art by TED NAIFEH

Wyld days are here again! The supernatural menace has returned stronger, meaner and now in possession of the one hero who could stop him! Will the addition of Superboy and Kid Flash to the Teen Titans' ranks be enough to beat back the darkness? Or is this really the end of the world as we know it? Plus, a brand-new co-feature kicks off introducing the fresh talents of Rex Ogle and Ted Naifeh (Courtney Crumrin) as they take Black Alice, Zatara and Traci 13 into uncharted magical territories. Can this troubled trio stand together – or is this already the end of the COVEN?

DC Universe | 40pg. | Color | $3.99 US

*****

Had a feeling the Wyld was going to play a part in the series again before too long.

Okay, upside, Bart and Zach back. Ya, Zach's a jerk, but so is Damian Wayne, but the kind ya love, right??? Just hope he doesn't make a move on Raven again.

But I'm a bit anxious on the co-writers. Rex has been an editor with TT's and the Titans while it all went downhill, so that kinda makes me question how he's gonna be writing this with Felicia.

Now Ted, from what I've seen on his site is a pretty good artist.

Zatara's only back in the co-feature - which seems to be a magic themed teen team judging by what the solicit tells us and the name the Coven - which is replacing the Ravager co-feature. Which is what Rex Ogle is writing. No bearing on the main story.

And frankly, I'm not fond of Zatara. Damian is the fun kind of jerk; saying amusing things and such (I mean, how can you not love a kid who wakes up after being kidnapped and asks whose neck he should break first). Not to mention Damian has been growing as a character ever since he was introduced. Zatara is just a jerk, at least in my opinion; granted, we haven't seen enough of him to get any depth suggesting otherwise just yet, but still.

I'm not too fond of Zach either. I don't know much or have seen much of him, but from what I have...meh, felt he was just a jerk. Opinion could change if I knew more of him, but right now, not too keen about him.

Though I'm definitley happy to see Bart again :]

I like the cover art. Ted Naifeh seems to be a pretty sweet artist as well.

So who is this Wylde? I'm not too familiar with him.

The weird monster thing that wanted to eat Raven's soul, recently; the sort of chimera thing. From Henderson's first two issues.

Ok, so the Ravager feature is gone, that probably means she will either...

a) rejoin the teen titans (would like it, but not counting on it)

b) join her father on the titans (this is what I'm betting on) or...

c)get killed in her story (they really better not)

It seems pretty early to bring the Wyld back. I mean one story arc between it's two appearences seems like a very short recall period.

Also, anyone wondering why there is no Teen Titans issue in May? I wonder if they had to re-write a story arc so things got thrown off for a month. All speculation, mind you...

Oh that's right, I remember now.

Hmm...can't really say, possibly a rewrite. You said it seemed to eary to bring the Wylde back, could be that they weren't really going to bring the Wylde back so soon but then suddenly decided to and thus a rewrite.

The chances of that happening are so low it's not even funny.

Perhaps, but it was only around for one real issue before dropping off (yeah, we got a glimpse or two of it in #75, but it didn't really hit until the next issue). The plot was pretty much left in the air. Plus, it would be two arcs. The Ravager Blackest Night tie-in, doncha know.

I've never been - and still am not - convined that Felicia is much more than a temporary ongoing writer until the time is right to bring in someone else. The Wyld is the only plot she's set up so far and she seems to be weaving in and out of it. Makes it easy to get out when the time is right; if you don't set up many long term storylines you don't have to leave them hanging.

This is the May issue. Or at least the one that came with the May solicits. It's tabbed for the first week of June for some reason though. I doubt it's a rewrite, since it would have had to have been already solicited and then changed. More likely there's a hiccup that has brought about the extra week; maybe the artist might need more time or the writer is a bit behind on their scripts and could use the extra time to catch up a bit.

Could be any number of reasons.

First off, I should point that for some reason DC has the issue listed as being #84, but in reality its #83. Look at the bottom of the listing, and note that the April issue is #82.

http://www.dccomics.com/dcu/comics/?cm=14760

Second off, my bet on the delay is that it has more to do with the Coven back-up feature rather than the main story; the creative team seems to have been a late assignment, and it could just be that they're only just now trying to get to speed on the project. Giving them an extra week may have been done to accommodate someone's schedule.

Or, it could just be that Felicia Henderson has been told at the last minute to rewrite the Wyld story so as to write Gar and Raven out of TT, in preparation for that Raven and Beast Boy ongoing coming out in the fall :wink:

BTW, to give you some idea how DC editorial works... check out this little exchange on Gail Simone's board. It seems that no one at DC bothered to tell Gail Simone -- who currently has Black Alice as a main character in her Secret Six comic -- that the character was about to star in another series someplace else. And she only discovered it when a fan happened to make a thread about it on her board.

Yeah, you're probably right. I mean it really ma... WWHHHAAAAAT!?!
Have you actually heard buzz of them geting their own ongoing? or is that just hopeful speculation?

Because honestly, the instant BB stepped aside to let Cassie continue leading, I knew that the dessicion to bring the two back to the olde book was being reconsidered. Then when they were showing Bart and Conner I new that the ranks were getting pretty full and room would have to be made.

I figured they were being taken out of the team and just brought into limbo again. But seriously, a couples book would be better then them leading the Teen Titans or join the League. Heck it would be better than if the Titans book hadn't dessolved in the first place.

So you have to tell me if you've really heard whispers on this or just being hopeful. With the cancellation of S.W.O.R.D. I'm already missing one awesom couples ongoing, i'm not sure if I'm ready to trust again...

Man, if only this weren't just a pipe dream. I'd be ALL OVER a Beast Boy and Raven ongoing. Seriously.

Yeah, I knew it was too good to be true. What I'd really like to see is a mini about the two of them before the breakup. Something that showed how they developed in the missing year.

I'd rather a mini focusing on the here and now. A mini about the two set in the past wouldn't sell for ****. Especially with it set during the one year jump that is now so far in the past that it's all but forgotten.

It was a joke, which is why I put the wink at the end. Honestly, I was not being serious. Believe me, if I had heard even a whisper of something like that in the pipeline, I'd be all over it.

Though Gar does seem to get a fair number of proposals made with him at or near the center (Titans LA, Beast Boy and the Doom Patrol, Beast Boy Year One). So there's always the possibility someone has a proposal in that's being considered. The trouble is, 99.99% of them end up never getting the green light.
