terry the lone wolf Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 If you love the Teen Titans cartoon, DC is doing comic based on it. Here is a sample page and a link: teen titans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 that's cool!! I can't wait till these little figures come out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit29 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Considering what the characters looked like in the 80's comic book, they should be called the pre-Teen Titans. The cartoon blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRock Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I like the cartoons. So what they copied off Manga. Big-O copied off Batman. Scryed copied off X-Men. It's a full circle thing. I'll check out the comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 so they copied anime style animation? Or is this series actually made in japan? They also use japanese singers for the intro theme song. It sound cool and pretty cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 (edited) I really like the show. Nah this wasn't shown or made in a japan last time I checked. It's just using this style that's all. I'm still waiting if if Batman might guest start in some form. That would be nice. Edited October 4, 2003 by Effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestroidsRage Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I think its crap. And copying isnt the point... Big O only copied the generic style and feeling of Batman. And you guys are taking the copying thing a bit far also... Is Tekkaman a ripoff of Iron Man? Is GaoRanger a ripoff of Spiderman? Scryed is as much a ripoff of Project Arms as it is of X-Men. This just plain sucks. I hate this cartoon, its seriously f-ing lame, in every concievable sense. -BEN-MAN- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingNor Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 i may be wrong, but i was led to belive it is korean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamui 777 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I think that show is pretty cool. Copying blah blah blah. Even Noboru Ishiguro admits many Anime came from American cartoons. Take it for what it is (a children's show for KIDS) and not for what it isn't (an Anime). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry the lone wolf Posted October 4, 2003 Author Share Posted October 4, 2003 The head animator is Glen Murakami. He has worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Batman/Superman Adventures. The use of the anime style was deliberate. Glen has said much of Teen Titans was inspired by Fooly Cooly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry the lone wolf Posted October 4, 2003 Author Share Posted October 4, 2003 That's a tight looking variant cover; is it only available through Mile High Comics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 (edited) Yeah. That's the current Teen Titan series. The second group. The original one that was done a few years ago had Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg and someone else. Starfire, Raven and Cyborg are full adults in this one and act as mentors to the new members or so I've heard. While the other new members(Robin(Tim Drake I believe), Superboy, Wondergirl, some flash like kid and Beastboy I think) are in their teens.

Ladic Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 That's a tight looking variant cover; is it only available through Mile High Comics? nah, that's just a variant cover by Michael turner, it's pretty hard to find, they have it at one of my locacl comic shops for $15, but Milehigh doesn't have any online. But www.mycomicshop.com has it for $9.95, cause they have for sale right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 thats a pretty good book. Johns does a great job. not as good as Winick's Outsiders, but good nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Winick's Outsiders too but I was disapointed with The Graduation Day series. Judd coped out with the character's death. I wasn't too shocked with the demises of Lilith/Omen and Donna Troy. First they killed the Raven clone Omen; a third rate character since the seventies. I kinda knew they would retire Donna Troy. She has been the victim of so many rewrites and revised histories it's almost tragic. They were going to kill her off but really didn't do it. She was sent to another world to live another life?!! Listen Geoff Johns' Teen Titans #2 had Slade the Terminator shoot Impulse/Kid Flash in the leg to prove that kids shouldn't fight crime. That's shocking....

Listen Geoff Johns' Teen Titans #2 had Slade the Terminator shoot Impulse/Kid Flash in the leg to prove that kids shouldn't fight crime. That's shocking.... agreed. but the whole thing was DC's EIC wanting to make the comic tie into the new TV series. they told Winick what to do, andi think he did the best with a bad idea. i mean, who kills Donna Troy? horrible move, IMO. this isn't to say Graduation day wasn't craptastic. cause it was. but i think we can Blame DC for that snafu.... ....and yeah, Slade dealing with Impulse was pretty messed up.

Well, Winick is still doing a good job with his Outsiders and Exiles runs. I gotta pick up his Green Arrow books. Yeah, I'm a fan of Winicks but I felt let down with that mini-series. I can understand that DC tied his hands and he had to do the best he could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big anime fan, but I don't think that style suits these characters at all. Man, I hope the Justice League members don't make appearances in it. I'd hate to see Batman or Supes animated in that lame-ass style with exagerrated expressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestroidsRage Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Maybe for slightly different reasons, but I totally agree with you Alpha. Why watch a bad superhero Wannabe Anime... When you can watch something like Sonic Soldier Borgman, or Tekkaman Blade, or Gatchaman, or Project Arms, or Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. Those are where its at... I refuse to accept crap when I can have precious stones. But thats just me. -BEN-MAN- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 just a question for you comic book gooroos. Is there a superboy and superman in the same continuity? If so, what's the story behind superboy? How did he come about? Is it the same superboy from the whole four superman story when superman finally came back from being "killed" by doomsday? I've been out of the comic book scene for the longest time now, so I'd like to know what's up with all these new stories. thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 (edited) Last time I checked the Superboy that is around now, that has his one series is the one from when Superman died fighting Doomsday. Unless they did another restart of the continuity it should be him. Not sure about the Teen Titans version though. I don't really follow comics all the much. DC has been doing a few AU stories/series I believe. That fact that stories jump around between the different titles really makes it hard to follow things. Pretty much the reason I don't care for reading DC titles that much or comics in general. Edited October 4, 2003 by Effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry the lone wolf Posted October 4, 2003 Author Share Posted October 4, 2003 Yes, that's the same Superboy from the Death of Superman storyline. He's a clone that has Superman's DNA and maybe Lex Luthor's(?). DC is also bringing back the classic "Silver Age" Superboy in this month's Legion. Only time will tell which will be the "true" Superboy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Am I the only one who really likes the show? (And yes, I've read dozens of Titans comics--just not hundreds, and nothing older than the 90's) I think I'm at the same level of "fandom" as I am for LoTR: read the books, but not so into it I nit-pick every word of dialogue in the movies. Same for Titans: basic familiarity with the characters and major storylines, but I don't instanty cross-reference the show with 400 issues looking for inconsistencies.

Wes Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 i may be wrong, but i was led to belive it is korean. ...like the Simpson's episode: Kent Brockman: "We go here live to North Korea to see how American animation is made." I like it. I don't watch TV much right now, but I have seen the show and it's alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, the storyline in Legion will not only have the return of Superboy but also Darkseid. It might be a homage to one of the best Legion stories ever, The Great Darkness Saga! I can't wait.

BoBe-Patt Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 that would be cool if they made a cartoon out of the legion. I'd watch that too along side teen titans. And maybe later they'll do a tie in between the two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
