I Had Issues! My Old Review of New 52's Teen Titans

Another in my "New 52 Pick Up" series. Neither this series nor this particular review has aged very well. It shows how much I was grasping at straws for positives in this New 52 lineup. Even work like Grant Morrison's Action Comics run seems a little stale in retrospect. "At least it isn't Firestorm" seems to be my overlying thought process with this piece. At least this review nipped that whole nineties nostalgia in the bud, right? Right??? Originally published March 9, 2012, one day after I reviewed Firestorm. Edited for clarity.

I Had Issues! My Dwayne McDuffie Tribute (1962-2011)

You'll notice that it's my second article reposted from the original comic site I used to work on, and it doesn't really talk about comics, but the film and TV properties based on them. Little did I realize how this was just a shade of things to come with every comics website available.I was definitely part of the problem.

Dwayne McDuffie passed away shortly after the site took off. I knew less of his comics work in later years (I have fond memories of his Damage Control series). His TV work had an effect on me, as I saw most of it in real time, back when I still had a TV and cable. I'm glad I got this out quickly, on February 24, just days after his death. I'm even happier that I can post it here and fix the mistakes I made with the graphics. I was pretty new to WordPress at the time and had no idea how to resize or lay out graphics. Lightly edited for flow.
