FIRST LOOK: TEEN TITANS #88

The term is thrown about often, but is certainly true this time: TEEN TITANS #88 is a perfect jumping on point for new readers. The preview pages below will prove it.

Writer J.T. Krul – coming off the strong launch of GREEN ARROW and already familiar with the TEEN TITANS thanks to his emotional and gruesome BLACKEST NIGHT: TITANS mini-series – pairs with artist extraordinaire Nicola Scott to bring the Titans back while pushing them forward. These are the Titans you want to see, together again and facing threats old and new. Don’t believe me? Click on that last page, which serves as not only another example of how skilled Nicola is, but also serves as an ominous teaser of what’s to come for DC’s premiere teen team.

TEEN TITANS #88, the beginning of a new era for the team, hits 10/27.

George Pérez gives himself a tip of the hat, BLACKEST NIGHT-style

If you've been reading BLACKEST NIGHT: TITANS (and there's no reason to miss it, I say), then you know the once dearly-departed Terra plays a big role. So, it makes perfect sense to bring aboard writer/artist George Pérez to put pencil to paper for the cover to the mini's final issue. Doubly cool? The artistic master plays homage to his own work, namely, the cover to NEW TEEN TITANS #30. But enough bluster. We caught up with BLACKEST NIGHT: TITANS editor Brian Cunningham to get more details on the cover, plus the cover itself (and its inspiration) below. Take it away, Brian:

“Who better to homage the cover to NEW TEEN TITANS (vol. 1) #30 than its original artist George Pérez? He even did a baby Black Lantern Wildebeest on the logo! And Hi-Fi Design knocked the coloring out of the park. You might see Pérez and Hi-Fi team up again on another Titans project in 2010. Stay tuned!”

BLACKEST NIGHT: TITANS #3 hits 10/28.
