But I did go back and get some of the back issues. I think my favorites were: NTT #39 (Dick & Wally both quitting), & NT #60, #61, & #65. Marv Wolfman really got the ball rolling on the Dick Grayson/Tim Drake fraternal bond with NT #65.<br /><br />That being said I actually thoroughly enjoyed the Nightwing, Pantha, Red Star, Phantasm, Baby Wildbeest incarnation of the New Titans. It was truly bizarre and quite a drastic departure from the original incarnation of the group but still somewhat enjoyable.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978439808729663406.post-91785320534196264372011-03-21T21:09:02.229-04:002011-03-21T21:09:02.229-04:00Brian Pate: I feel like you're taunting me...

Of all the Titans, I would think she would be the one marked for death.<br />I do think you forgot her best moment in recent years: her pairing with Animal Man in 52 and beyond.

In NTT, he was a jock who gained some knowledge of technology mostly out of necessity. Even going back to Devin Grayson's Titans, he still didn't show any inclination toward science. Then, suddenly, he was super smart.Ben Morsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14419191228823565831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978439808729663406.post-55795026433717584012011-03-17T11:19:37.630-04:002011-03-17T11:19:37.630-04:00I wish Dick was Nightwing again, mostly because I ...I wish Dick was Nightwing again, mostly because I am a die-hard Nightwing fan, but also because he can fit the role you explained much better as his own man, not at Batman-Lite.<br /><br />As far as Wally goes, I am seriously disappointed with what DC has done (NOT DONE) with him. Your assessment is dead on, he should be the definitive JLA Flash.<br /><br />I am pretty happy with Cyborg's role as Scientist/Mentor.
