Revisiting our Titans we see that the Titans are being hailed as heroes after they vanquished the interdimensional demon known as Trigon.

Raven however has disappeared and Kid Flash, now retired again, has returned to Blue Valley hoping his powers do not wind up killing him some day.

This brings us to the point of replacing Raven on the team, and wait just a second, we have a precognitive groovy chick hanging around already in Lilith Clay.

And who would not love the Titans?  Come on, they just saved your souls people.. not just Earth mind you, but your very souls from an eternal torment.

So New York City holds a huge parade in their honor and this issue becomes a slice of life moment for a team that does not get a lot of “down time.”

The winged alien Azrael revisits his love for Lilith and well, things get a wee bit out of hand in their romance.

Azrael kidnaps Lilith, but does not really mean to do so, he is being held in the sway of The Children of the Sun, who happen to answer to Thia, the Greek Titan of Fire.  Yes, those Titans.

And in a twist that no one saw coming.. at least I didn’t at the time…  it turns out that Lilith, who has only had the power of precognition, is the daughter of Thia and Thia wants her daughter back home where she belongs.

Well the Titans object to this because Lilith objected to it and the Titans do not do so well until one of Thia’s servants, Kole, turns on her mistress and helps the Titans win in battle against the angry Goddess.  Kole will then leave the Titans of Myth service and join the Titans while Lilith will reluctantly stay with Thia in order to keep the peace and to learn more about her true origins.

Kole has the ability to “weave crystal” or produce crystalline slides, barriers, formations, etc..,  and with Raven’s absence she fills a hole in the roster now left by Lilith’s abrupt departure and serves another purpose soon to be revealed in another book.

While Kole steps up and becomes a little enamored of Jericho, as all girls do, the group of ships coming to take Princess Koriand’r (Starfire) back home to Tamaran continues to make its way to Earth.

Are you noticing something here?  The covers, not quite like they used to be.

Well George Perez was forced to leave The New Teen Titans shortly after the Trigon saga ended as he had another book he had to being work on, and that book is the book that will become the focus of this blog for the next little bit, but first we have to do some background work.
