Good question T.O. Morrow, but let us not count our chickens before they have hatched, eh?

Lets remember that last issue T.O. Morrow basically pwned the Justice Society of America and left them all for dead and then discovered that in order to succeed in his evil plans he had to eliminate the Justice League as well.  All caught up now?  Good.  Lets go.

So the Justice League is having a meeting in their Mountain Cave headquarters and the entire membership is there:  Superman, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Hawkman, Green Arrow, Snapper Carr, and the Atom.   Down below the main meeting room is the Souvenir Room where we see five of the Leaguers significant others waiting to surprise their lovers:  Steve Trevor, Jean Loring, Hawkgirl, Midge (Snapper Carr’s Girlfriend), and Mera.  During the meeting the five lovers burst into the room and plant the “kiss of death” on their targets:  Wonder Woman, the Atom, Hawkman, Snapper Carr, and Aquaman.  The Justice Leaguers attacked fall to the ground lifeless and their lovers turn into dust.

It is at this point that the Justice League receives a challenge to go fight some beasts that are coming to the planet now.    In typical More >

Over in the New Teen Titans, that title had already been renamed to Tales of the New Teen Titans during the Brother Blood story and kept the new title through The Judas Contract storyline featuring Terra and the Terminator.

But what does one do after a criminal organization has infiltrated the Titans, duped them, and nearly killed them….

You invite Aqualad and Aquagirl over for a follow up story and take down the H.I.V.E. forever.

Under the sea Garth and Tula were enjoying a swim when they and other creatures of the oceans began to feel weak, poisoned in fact by a plan put together by the H.I.V.E. organization.    The H.I.V.E. which had just specatcularly failed in its ability to kill the Titans had another headquarters under the oceans where the H.I.V.E. Mistress controlled the operations of the organization after the death of her husband.  In this sense, she became a Queen Bee, however this H.I.V.E. Mistress was clearly off her rocker and her subordinates paid for that dearly.

Lucky for the aquatic teens, Wally West had returned for a visit along with Frances Kane who were able to save the duo.  The Titans agree to help Garth and Tula discover what the problem is with More >

As the Outsiders marched on in their own title, Batman had grown fairly fond of his team, though he would never admit to it.  Perhaps it was Batman’s first time of being completely in charge of his teammates as opposed to having to explain his plans in details to his compatriots in the JLA.

The Outsiders proved victorious in battles against an ex-military man who was a victim of Agent Orange and now wished to infect the rest of the world with the same affliction he suffered.

and one of their many nuclear themed foes, the One-Man Meltdown.

As the Outsiders grew closer and closer as a team, and as this put strain on the Batman/Robin dynamic, it was bound to happen that the Outsiders and the Titans would meet in a conflict of the Fearsome Five.

  • Mammoth – An Australian juggernaut incredibly strong and with almost limitless stamina, he is brother to his fellow Fearsome Five member, Shimmer.
  • Shimmer – Sister to Mammoth, can transmute elements if she can touch them.
  • Gizmo – The Dwarven gadgets expert, he can build any sort of gizmo, and his size gives him an advantage in combat for those who underestimate him.
  • Psimon – Perhaps the most dangerous of all, More >

Well, here we are back in the New Teen Titans world for a little bit.

We’re going to buzz through New Teen Titans #18-20. Keep in mind we’re in 1982.

 

In New Teen Titans #18, a Russian woman is infected with a disease that could infect and kill millions. Her boyfriend is the Russian hero named Starfire, who after this story is rechristened Red Star. Red Star is Leonid Kovar and he becomes an on again off again supporting player for the Titans. He appeared first in the original run of Teen Titans.

Wait. What did I say just then?

“the original run of the Teen Titans.”

Well that makes sense right, if these are the “NEW” Teen Titans then there must have been an original set of Titans right? Well there were an original set of Titans and we’ll be covering them soon.

Needless to say, Leonid is trying to help his girlfriend and misunderstanding runs amok, especially as Leonid and Kid Flash have a large ideological difference. Imagine sitting down Reagan and Lenin, and expecting them to play nice…and frankly in 1982, no American seemed to have a pleasant view of the U.S.S.R. or at least was not that brave to publicly voice it.

Unfortunately, despite all the best efforts Raven’s More >
