Teen Titans #36 sheds an interesting light on the post-Infinite-Crisis Doom Patrol. Apparently...everything (excluding the issues that were labeled Vertigo, I'm guessing?), including the Byrne run, happened. All of it. They all remember everything...Caulder's betrayal, deaths, rebirth. There is a portrait gallery featuring Dorothy Spinner, a trophy room featuring theh Quiz's costume, a portrait of Mr Nobody, and a painting(?) of Danny the World and Crazy Jane on the floor. Also, there was a reference to the painting from the Dada group's attempt to suck Paris into it. Oh yeah, and Mento is back.
The whole group is written well, in my opinion, and there's a clear sense that despite their "forgiveness" for Caulder having "created" all the member's origins and disasters, Caulder's still written as a class A manipulative bastard. For the first time since OYL, I'm actually giddy to read Teen Titans...can't wait to see more.
So, if anyone is considering checking out this re-incarnation, I'd recommend it. I just wont pay your $2.99 if you hate it.
p.s. I'll be sending in a recommendation to DC to make their post-IC slogan "It all happened. Really. at the same time. Even the silly shit." |
