DC Announces the Return of TEEN TITANS

Who's writing it? Who's drawing it?

We know that TEEN TITANS #30 is the final issue in the series. Scott Lobdell did hint that it would be back when he announced the end of the seriest. Of course the Titans would be back. We've been waiting for word and DC has revealed the news on their website.

No Caption Provided

The series will have the creative team of writer Will Pfeifer and artist Kenneth Rocafort. The all-new series, with a new #1, will go on sale on July 16. Head over to DC for more information.

@captainmarvel4ever: BC announced before hand they were doing bunch of articles for april 1. Some would be April Fools and some would be real and would later in the day reveal the April Fools. The ones that were jokes had fool added in their title when the time came to reveal. That one never got one to my recollection. If they somehow miss adding it later that would be the one and only one that fooled me considering the others were so ridiculously obvious.

Anyway I hope you're wrong.

Costumes aside, I think the new creative team will make this comic successful.

They're really sticking to their guns on that Raven costume, huh? Has anyone anywhere ever said they like it? You can admit you were wrong on this one thing, DC. It's okay.

Two people. After all this time I've only seen two people say they like it. One doesn't even read comics anymore. >__>

@dernman: I looked into it as soon as I read the article and remembered it was April 1st, and no other site had any information on any news relating to Gen 13.

I've never read anything by Pfeifer. How is he?

Also, and I'm probably alone on this, but I liked Beast Boy in red. It fit for the origin they gave him in the New 52. Oh, well. I'm fine with him as green.

I am stoked that Kenneth Rocafort is on art duties. That alone will buy it for me, and the fact that Bunker and beast boy are on the team. I wish beast boy was still red though. He was such a BA when he was red, but he doesn't look terrible in this version being green.

Maybe it's "insider information" from one of their "sources" Bleeding Cool likes to claim they have. Wouldn't be the first time they threw something out like that without anything backing them up. Though you have to take it with a grain of salt sometimes they're even right. I hope this time they are.

Beast Boy made more sense being Red. Plus it tied him into Animal Man's the red. Though to be honest even though him being green always bugged me on some level I did miss it. Green somehow softens him and adds to his comedy type character he's meant to be. Something he's been lacking in the 52. I just hope they don't make him pathetic like he had been looking like for awhile preflashpoint.

@dernman: I would like it to be true, but I know it's not. All of DC's book's in the "Young Justice" category have been canceled, and I doubt DC has enough confidence in any of their properties that involve young heroes to put out a another book besides Teen Titans about them. In fact, the only thing that has died faster then the Young Justice books, are the books that have to do with Wildstorm characters, so I think the chances of us getting Gen 13 any time soon are very very grim :(

Maybe. You do make good points but to be fair all those YJ books were horrible and deserved getting canceled.

I really preferred Red Beast Boy, it made sense to me with his connection to the Red. Now that Animal Man is gone, we don't have anything to remind us of the Red.

I'm really disappointed with this news actually too, I was hoping for a Roster shake-up. Take away a few members, put some unexpected members on the team, like some WildStorm teens maybe even. This really just feels more of the same or an extension of the last volume. I haven't read anything from this writer either so i don't know what to think. I don't know. I'll wait for a review before I check this out for sure.

@dernman: The problem was that with each category of books, they tend to do as good as the main book for that category. For example, Batman has been a terrific book, and all the other Batman books have been selling well. Justice League Dark has been a little mixed, but is defiantly above average, so the magic books are low in sales, but still strong enough to maintain themselves. Meanwhile Teen Titans was a very bad book with mediocre sales, so naturally all the other books that relate to it, had no chance.

They're keeping the previously established continuity so hopefully Will can find a way to make it not crap.

Same. I'm hoping it's the, how should I say, REAL Superboy. No Jon Kent DNA crap.

I've been looking for something to replace all of the DC books I've been dropping, awesome! For awhile Teen Titans was the only DC book I read, looks like it may end up being the only DC book I read all over again. And the day before my birthday too!

Yes fix Superboy but don't forget Kid Flash. I can't believe they thought that turning him into a homicidal maniac was a good idea in anyway.

I say forget Kid Flash for now. Have Wally become Kid Flash, which would be weird being so with the 3rd Gen Heroes, and have people forget about "Bar Torr." Then bring in the real Bart Allen later on from the future again but as Barry's Grandson and with zero relation to the previous incarnation. The only way to save Bart Allen is to make a completely "new" character since it seems retconing is out of the question.

neither of them were the real deals...Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Superboy, and Red Robin...they're all completely different characters

Wonder Girl is no longer the daughter of Zeus

Kid Flash is no longer Barry's Great Grandson

Superboy is no longer the clone of Superman and Lex Luthor

Tim Drake is no longer Tim Drake

so it's not like they just tweaked their origins....these are completely different characters all together

Green Beast Boy! But what was the point of cancellation in the first place if it would get rebooted immediately? Why didn't they just make this a new run starting at issue 31?

I have three guesses,

1. Lobdell left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, so they wanna start fresh and without his contributions

2. They are taking a page out of All New Marvel Now, and relaunching to increase sales

3. The status quo is gonna be changed in the final issue, so this is a step in a completely different direction.

Hopefully they get Titans Tower, cause that stupid cruise ship of Tim's has to go.

^This

I'm really excited for this. Haven't really been buying since Death of the Family but I've been keeping up on the story. Hopefully some fresh blood (creatively that is) will make the book good again. :)

From what I read in the interview they are keeping what Lobdell created. They are simply moving in another direction.

Exactly.

Bart Allen would be an easier fix than the rest. You could just say that Bart was just from a possible future. Though I do realize Wally fans are itching to get him back. Honestly now I know this is an unpopular opinion but I wouldn't care if they didn't just combine the characters. Make Wally a kid again, now from the future. Personally I would want him called Impulse.

With all of the alternate time line stories in the world...I can't believe I never once thought that would be a way to go. That's so simple and easy to do. As for the Wally / Bart amalgam...meh :(

I'm honestly not sure which generation was hit worse...2nd Gen or 3rd Gen. On one hand, most of the 2nd Gen doesn't exist yet so they've been saved from this horrible reboot but on the other hand, 3rd Gen Heroes DO exist but have suffered from a bad reboot.

Scott Lobdell will not ruin another series that needs skill to survive. That is a win. His versions of the Titans were ill thought and poorly executed. I am glad it was cancelled. Now they can make it right.

I read the couples first issues of Teen Titans but this run always seemed really boring to me. Add to that the bad reviews there was no way I was gonna continue. Knowing that they're starting a new volume with a new creative team gives me hope that maybe this time I'll be able to get into it. Besides I like the art on this one.

I have to get this! Lobdell has stepped away from my favorite comic team! Beast Boy is green! Rocafort is on art! Rocafort's art is amazing! The line up is great! Raven still has the terrible costume, but hey maybe it'll grow on me like Harley Quinn's did. I am excited! I will defiantly be buying this when it comes out!

It just looks like more of the same.

I was hoping for a trio book starring Dick, Wally, and Donna as they (re)build their friendship

No Caption Provided

or for a book starring the core 4 (Tim, Connor, Cassie, and Bart) with Miss Martian and Jackson Hyde thrown in.

Oh, well. This title can't get any worse.
