Teen Titans #24 - how all this fits in to the grand scheme

[perletwo]

OK, so the Titans are bouncing randomly around the time stream as a result of Forever Evil. Most of #24 is snippets of those bounces; superfangirl1 posted 3 pages of Bart's bounce-forward here. I've got about an eighth of one pages and 7/8 of the next to, like the Dude's rug, really tie the whole thing together.



Cassie finds Raven being tormented by Etrigan, who wants to kill her in lieu of killing Trigon (really wish there was room to post that, coz Etrigan is always cool). She bumps Etrigan out of the way and explains the sitch to Raven, and that Red Robin has a plan.

Since Raven grew up in a "limbo" outside time, she's got the best shot at manipulating the time stream back into one piece. But until they figure out how to do that, the need her to "mark" each Titan as her own so she can always find them no matter when or where they bounce.






Mods, a quick question w/r/t those pages I said above I wished I could post: Teen Titans Annual #2 comes out next week. With that release will this one no longer be considered "current" & subject to the 4-page limit? (the things that occur to you once the caffeine hits the bloodstream...)

Basically Linkara reviewed The Crossing and gave the Harvest, the villain for that arc liken that villain to a Yugi Abridged villain and began doing it in the same Elmer Fudd voice. It actually made the story more entertaining.

To be fair, it's pretty hard to make that turd less entertaining.

[benuben]

Wrong. It's "This all gone acwording to my pwan. My pwan is gweat."

[superfangirl1]

The plan so complicate that it is sure to work. Hopefully. :P

[chrisdv]

Yes. My plan is great.

Okay, the direction they're going with Raven is.. I don't know. They really seem to enjoy her as a villain here and considering the latest TT & SB solicits looks like she'll be getting close with Jon Lane Kent, the evil future Superboy. Then there's all that went on in the second annual which makes you wonder which painfully obvious traitor will be the traitor they're talking about.

And the amount if trust Tim puts into her after just joining the team and almost helping kill them, first giving her personal information so she could be leader if anything happens to him and now a piece of their souls. It boggles the mind unless they're both actually working together to double cross Trigon but still...

Or Tim is falling prey to her empathic abilities. After all her old DCU counterpart created the New Teen Titans partly by making Kid Flash fall in love with her whether he wanted to or not (She had the best of intentions, but her methods were more than a little dubious). I could see this Raven making Robin trust her.

[ruhig_knight]

That is indeed another possibility, Tim's had Trigon messing with him (or could that have been Raven too and she was lying?) so why not continue that but with Raven who has been guilty of it in the old DCU.

Funny enough I was thinking of how now DC's been really pushing at the villain role here for her (if not a double cross against her father) when pre-reboot they seemed to... I don't know, whitewash her NTT history in terms of just how dangerous she was or even morally questionable she could be, even with the noblest of intentions (Wally's case especially). I figured they were trying to have a somewhat clean slate for her since she had a mob of new fans from the cartoon at the time (also reinforced by how she became more like her cartoon self in personality) and plus some of it was from the darkest of the nineties era that Wolfman regretted.

"Teen Titans Annual #2 comes out next week. With that release will this one no longer be considered "current" & subject to the 4-page limit?"

I'm curious about this too. Particularly when it comes to something like the Fables/Jack of Fables crossover, where they were specifically billed as one storyline, so that part 1 happened in Fables, part 2 in Jack, part 3 in Fables, etc. Each issue was even written by the same writing team, and they even mixed-and-matched artists, so that some of Jack of Fables during the crossover was drawn by the regular Fables artist and vise versa. Basically, when the only thing keeping it from being one series is the title on the cover.

Mod Note!

Hi

To answer your question about annuals and monthly issues; An annual counts as a variation on a monthly issue, so when the annual comes out, the most recent monthly is no longer the most recent issue, and likewise with the annual when the next monthly issue comes out.

exxxxcellent, that means I can sneak in a page or so of Etrigan from this ish sooner rather than later!
