I did not know she was called anything else. I am confused as to why she is not Billy's actual sister. It's not like its for pseudo-creepy romantic option like Venus or Iris on television since she is paired with Freddie.

Having read One Minute War, it completely clears Wally from the absurd should have been indie story, Heroes In Crisis as the heroes were organics and spit out by the Speed Force. Funny enough, I had NO IDEA WHO ANY OF THEM ARE except for Steel, who I did not know was killed off a second time. He and Roy were the only somebodies arguably. As a self-contained story it was solid and a good focus on Wally while giving meaning to most of the speedsters.

What writing credits does Si Spurrier have? I was curious what we might expect after the vindication of the true Wally West by Jeremey Adams. If he had to leave the best way to do so is for a earth-bound Hal Jordan!

We get a companion piece to Batman/ Superman: World's Finest in World's Finest: Teen Titans focusing on the 1964-1978 team. I hope Batgirl and Supergirl get folded into this. It's looking at a July 11th release date for the first issue.

It appears that the mother of Blockbuster II's child is Jezebel Jett. I did not know that Talia had her lose her head.

Glad to see Barbara Gordon working with the Titans as Batgirl. That never happened before! Also, why doesn't Donna Troy go by Troia and just as herself? Sure, some heroes have publicly known identities, but at least he or she has a codename!

I stopped caring with #713 in 2010. This would mean the New 52 #0 does not count and the 52 issues along with the 135 2016 on equal 900. Yet #35 in 2017 did not mark #800!

Also, it appears the addiction to company-wide events is hampering Jeremy Adams right out of the gate with something that I thought already dealt with.

Dawn of DC Green Arrow got upped to 12 issues from its initial 6

Blue Beetle is getting a new ongoing in September called Scarab war to tie in with his movie if I had to guess

It's interesting how many of these books are six issue miniseries instead of ongoing. I suppose it's trials to see buyer support? I am surprised how much DC pushes Jaime Reyes. The character keeps failing. I did notice that Ted Kord was on the cover in costume. I always found him to be an overlooked interesting character. Is Ted there to appease his fans and bloat Reyes numbers?

Flash and Titans spoilers

Spoiler:

Wally's been shot in the back, with his life ebbing away, he returns home, gives his love to his family, and then uses the cosmic treadmill to go back in time and arrive at Titans towers...but the team find him dead, as Raven can sense he's gone!



Meanwhile over in the Flash title, an aged Wally, wearing his Flash Forward outfit and sporting a beard, returns home with baby Waid and reunites with Linda

Read Titans. Enjoyed it a great deal, glad Gar is back to full health and enjoying a life with Raven. I know they've been together since Infinite Frontier but it's good to see it continue.

Wait, so Beast Boy and Raven are an actual couple? I thought it was one of those Young Adult graphic novels that mean nothing.

I wish Garth could be allowed to join. No much is ever done with him and he should be available. He has a long history of being overlooked and now with the diverse agenda with Black Manta's biological son it further cements this.

Could we see Barbara Gordon finally join the Titans? I always wanted to see her and Supergirl join. Also, I am hoping that Titans will be allowed to be the first generation of sidekicks and not have Young Justice or Super Sons hijack the name. I have a feeling it will though.

No, they've been a couple since Infinity Frontier/Titan Academy, and before that they had been an off/off couple throughout the 2000s prior to Flashpoint, it was DC's response to the fan reaction to the two of them in the original Teen Titans cartoon. They were never intended to be endgame in that show, but their chemistry was so good fans paired them up in fanfics, so Geoff Johns was the one that made them official when he ran the book.

They're on/off a lot in Teen Titans Go also.

[MikeandRaph87]

So a fan shipping turned cannon, huh? I thought it was weird when Wally was pining for Raven at the start of the initial gathering of the 2nd Titans group. This is even an odder pairing. I don't have an investment in it so whatever. I am still amazed at how Beast Boy is still alive after the point blank shot from Deathstroke.

Is DC screwing up Wally West again, in reference to his appearances in Titans#1? Supposedly shot dead and then returning from saving his newborn as a untrimmed haircut and beard in his title. What is it with the first generation of sidekicks that DC hates?

[MikeandRaph87]

I just looked up July solicits, but I see some event called " Knight Terrors"...is it taking over titles for a month putting certain titles on hiatus for a month? I thought DC just had an event with Lazarus Planet and that was immediately after the company-wide event Dark Crisis. I am confused on what titles will be out in July. I have not read anything about this before and don't want to put up with another event interfering.

July and August are Knight Terrors. Most books are on hiatus until then.

What the heck? Two months stoppage and no warning? The title suggests Batman and Scarecrow. ?

I read World's Finest, Nightwing ,Flash, Green Lantern, and Detective Comics. How many titles among those am I looking to miss two months of?

I think new issues of World's Finest will be available those two months, as will Hawkgirl, Steel Works, and a few other minor C-list titles. Everything else is a special one shot tie-in to Knight Terrors

[MikeandRaph87]

Reading through the Knight Terrors of the comics I pull it got interrupted for, this seems like a nothing event similar to Endless Winter. A villain from long ago that we never heard of reemerges and probing the dreams of humanity for a macguffin. One thing that made me laugh was 'as seen in the now classic Dark Crisis". Not ever event is memorable and few are classic.

Did anyone else check out World's Finest: Teen Titans? Some sources say it's a mini-series while others say it's an ongoing. I love the era it's covering so the more the merrier getting classic characters in a modern world.

Ram V
@therightram
Very thrilled to say, I’ve signed an exclusive contract with
@DCOfficial
and am very excited to tell more stories with these characters and this universe. Many cool things to come!
@thedcnation

Glad to hear this as Ram V is one of my favorites his Swamp Thing and Justice League Dark runs were fantastic. Also I hear his Detective Comic run has been stellar too.

Also I read Steelworks #1 it was good so far. I see Superman and Lois got the Lana John Henry relationship from the comics

I am reading his Detective Comics run. Its primary story is about a woman and her son, who's husband she had killed, Ra's was his bodyguard and best friend. Now she wants the land where Arkham Asylum once stood. The woman and her son who she is manipulating want to mind control Gotham City and turn it against Batman. Two Face and Mr. Freeze both play into it and had been featured in backups. It's not bad, but it is slow paced which is annoying especially with this unexpected two month hiatus. Of the four DC ongoings its my least favorite, but its not bad I just like World's Finest, Nightwing, and Flash directions more.
