I don’t know about you, but I was not a fan of the Teen Titans relaunch. Young Justice filled the spot of “young superhero team” admirably well, and so for that team to be broken up (and the book canceled) in order to capitalize on the Teen Titans name, well, I at least expected the new Teen Titans to deliver. It wasn’t meant to be. For me, it was as if Peter David (writer of Young Justice) was a master chef and had the recipe honed to perfection, and Geoff Johns inherited the recipe only to add his own ingredient of “failsauce,” be it the Superboy baby daddy drama, the abandonment of the Bart Allen readers grew to love as Impulse, and the abandonment of a Wonder Girl who actually had her shit together. The One Year Later jump didn’t help matters much, with our boy Robin experiencing his very own obsessive Clone Saga, and fights with Slade I couldn’t bring myself to care about. So when I heard that Sean McKeever, writer behind “Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane” (at least, that is the title of his which I’m most familiar with) was taking over at issue 50, I was practically jumping for joy. SMLMJ demonstrated he was an excellent writer of teenagers, and I looked forward to what he would bring to the characters.
