Cartoon News
I'm sad to say, it's official.
Terra will be appearing in several episodes of Season 2 of Teen
Titans. The
cartoonists will be attempting to provide us with an updated version of
"The Judas Contract."
Heaven help us....
For those wanting details on season 2, go to
More Comic News
According to Geoff
Johns in a post at his board, the search for Raven story arc will be
followed by an arc featuring Gar!
*does a happy dance*
Quote Geoff: "Following RAVEN RISING we
have a three issue story that throws Beast Boy in the spotlight called
WILD KINGDOM. You heard it here first."
Whee!!!!!!
Now for the BAD News....
For some, this might be good news. At first, I thought it would
be too.
John Byrne is doing the latest version of the Doom Patrol.
So what's so bad about that?
John Byrne, apparently under the authorization of Dan Didio, is
REBOOTING the Doom Patrol. In other words, no past version of the
Doom Patrol will have existed. The new team will be the "original
team."
What does that mean?
Gar's origin is being rewritten. Which we'd already heard rumors
it of at Geoff's board. How extensive a rewrite won't be seen
until July. The Doom Patrol era will no longer be an integral
part of Gar's background. Will Mento and Galtry remain a part of Gar's
origins? Or will Mento disappear completely?
Here's the part that is cause for worry.
In a chat transcript at John Byrne's board (you
can read the whole chat here) John Byrne said: "Gar Logan will be
the Donna Troy of this reboot!"
Titans and Beast Boy fans, be warned.
