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

What I want to know about TT/Legion is Did the Legion's timeline get erased? Is the new Legion's future an alternate future? And if it's the real future, do Bart's mom and cousin still exist? Alterante futures make my head hurt.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Victor, it sure looks that way. It's getting pretty tiresome. It looks like they want to go the serious teen angst route. The only good thing I see so far is that Sun Boy seems to exist in this reality.
The Titans/Legion book is a mess. It's sort of like one of the old DC/Marvel crossovers. The Titans, except for Bart, are completely out of place, and it doesn't really fit recent Legion canon, either. At least they got the correct spelling for M'onel's name this issue.

Thrive to spite them
I was completely confused by the last pages in Teen Titans, when there was a future city and stuff about genes. Well, more confused than I was for the rest of the issue.
I also picked up the current issue of WW, after I missed it last week. I have to go back and read the previous issue because I kind of missed some things, but WW kicked ass and there was a joke about Everybody Loves Raymond that amused me.

I think when the Titans came from the 31st century back to the 21st century, they didn't go far enough, and they "landed" in, roughly, the year 2014. If I read it right.

Those pages are the Legion reboot. The kid who got slapped by his dad looks to be Lyle Norg, aka Invisible Kid. When he jumps, he puts on a Legion flight ring and flies off with the rest of the new AU version of the Legion. Meanwhile, as Teppy said, the Titans seem to have wound up in 2014.

Oh, oops. I was reading askye's post as if she meant the last pages of where the Teen Titans-specific story ends, which is NOT the end of the issue -- the last pages are, like DX said, Legion-related stuff.

Art Crawl!!!
Ah, so that is what the back of the book means by the "future Titans" -- do we think this is going to be permanent, or just an arc? And what does it say about any possible future for a Babs/Dick relationship if he is apparently going to get back together with Kory.
(See how focused I am?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't want Dick back with Kory -- it was nice while it lasted, but let's move on. However, given the last panel of Outsiders, who knows?

Picked up "Starman: Grand Guiginol" yesterday, and although I'm not quite done, I dare say "Starman" may well have become my favorite comic book story ever.
