So, are we actually expecting to see TotV part 5 tomorrow? Or is Dark Horse being over optimistic?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think even the Marveliest Marvel character is as whiny as SmallvilleClark, aka SuperTool. :)
That was kinda my reflex. But I never got into Spiderman, or anything. And the mutant stuff insulated itself from the real world.
Now that I think about it, having been a large Titans fan, I didn't read much about people trying to have normal lives.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The stuff they're doing with Clark reminds me a lot more of Spidey than of Superboy, for one. Financial troubles, girl troubles, trying to keep a secret identity while in high school. That all seems very Marvel to me.
Frank, I'm right with you, probably for the same reasons.

Peter Parker was incredibly whiny early on. Scott Summers...

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Well, I'll buy it. Does that count? Each issue has brought me roughly 15 minutes of mild amusement, although it doesn't really stand out much, does it?

I was never able to find a copy of TotV 4. Newbury's let me down big time.

I hate me some Scott Summers, but he's not so much a whiner as an ostentatious high-road-taking martyr.
Aside from the Titans and the Outsiders (and really, whining around Batman? Not good idea) who were prominent DC teens? And not in the cheesy Superboy period.

Scott Summers...
Early Scott Summers? Hey, they were all teenagers.
These days, I sure as hell don't think he whines. But then, he's also The Dude IMO, so hey.

Back in the day there were lots of sidekicks, but they pretty much all ended up in the Titans if they were kept around for any length of time. Teen angst was ALWAYS more of a Marvel thing.
and really, whining around Batman? Not good idea
Hee, it's funny 'cause it's true.

Hey, MM, when you get in, email me.
My mail to your profile address bounced, which makes it hard to attempt to deal you comics crack.

Well, there's always Books Of Magic for DC(ish) teen angst now.
