New Teen Titans: The Angstfest

I spent pretty much all weekend and Monday watching Justice League from "Secret Origins" to "Flash & Substance" and boy was that fun. More fun then usual, because my brother who knows nothing about comics wanted to see the first episode for kicks and was quickly addicted. The Cadmus storyline sealed the deal; not only did it make him say "I'm on the edge of my seat, yo!" but it was also then he realized the Flash is totally awesome. It's possible "Fifty-thousand rotten eggs! And a chainsaw!" will be something oft repeated between us now. XD

I got absolutely nothing done this weekend. But it was kinda like watching them for the first time all over again on my end, too, and that was pretty awesome.

Anyway!

enchanted_raven wanted to see this; just what happened between Kid Flash & Raven over the course of New Teen Titans.



That sums it up pretty well, but there's hugeness of more to be had. Approach with caution.

( I will handle Kid Flash now. )

Dick: "Thank you for shutting them up, I'm really not in the mood for Wally's issues." XD

At the end there, Wally's actually dying from his powers wreaking havok with his body; he doesn't actually die (duh) and in fact is about to become the Flash. Which is another Vandal Savage-laced angstfest of it's own. The powers-angst overtakes the Raven-angst, and the whole relationship pretty much never comes up again, as far as I know.

His blonde girlfriend there grows up to be Magenta, a crazy super-villain that tries to kill him/kidnaps him repeatedly because he won't love her and stuff. Heh. It makes a lot more sense since I've read this series.
