Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
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.
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.
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?)
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.
In the last GL we see
Kyle going off into space -- is that it? Is this just so that they can do the Hal Jordan rebirth thing? Or are we unlikely to see Kyle in GL for the foreseeable future?
Also, on the Whedonesque lj I read that they are still shopping the Animated Buffy around and that Showtime is mentioned and something about dvds. (Whedonesque linked to Moviehole which got it's info from that David Fury post on the Bronze Beta.)
Sumi, Kyle is set to be in Green Lantern: Rebirth.
