I’m a big fan of the new Teens Titans series. The young heroes are trying to expose the mysterious organization hunting metahuman teens and just got whipped by Superboy. The Titans are about to receive the super size treatment courtesy of Teen Titans Annual #1 – the first giant size annual from DC Comics- The New 52.
The big story launches in May with Teen Titans and soars through Superboy and Legion Lost. Scott Lobdell and Tom DeFalco are the minds behind pitting the heroes against each other with art by Titans illustrator Brett Booth.
“You know how comics used to have cover copy that read ‘This issue has it all!’… then you’d read the issue and, well, it had some but not all? Well this Annual really does have it all!” Lobdell tells The Source. “We finally get to see the oft-mentioned Colony – where the N.O.W.H.E.R.E. leader named Harvest has been keeping the hundred or so teenagers (did I say hundred?!) for who-knows-how-long. We get to see the Teen Titans in pitched battle against the Legion Lost (You can understand why Red Robin is skeptical about a team of teenagers claiming to come from the 30th Century, and why Tyroc is scratching his head over the existence of a team that – according to the history progs – is still some eight years away from being formed!). Then there’s the introduction of half the roster of the new RAVAGERS series! It has been eight issues since Red Robin threw down the gauntlet to Harvest, and now we’re going to see if the Teen Titans have what it takes to shut down N.O.W.H.E.R.E. once and for all! Yes, there’s a reason why this story could only take place in an annual – because there is just too much story to be contained in one of the monthly books!”
This Brett Booth cover looks cool – Bunker v. is that Timber Wolf?
The crossover begins with TEEN TITANS ANNUAL #1 then weaves through SUPERBOY #9, LEGION LOST #9, TEEN TITANS #9 and THE RAVAGERS #1.
