Comics on the Bubble: Team Titans (1992)
Comics on the Bubble: Team Titans
Wow. This comic is BAD. I had forgotten how awful Marv Wolfman's work was on this title at this point. I mean, I loved Titans even during Titans Hunt, which set up a lot of the status quo here, but still. Characters go unnamed through the entire crossover. Battallion is the worst example of 90's excess I can remember, he's more obnoxious than Cable!
The toughest part about this series is the top-notch artists that worked on the launch issue.
Issue 1 - With art by Kevin Maguire, Adam Hughes, Kerry Gammil, and more, how can I dump these? Actually, I think I'll only keep the best one. I think I like Kilowatt best, so I'll keep his, and dump the rest. SELL
Issues 2 & 3 - A few chapters in the middle of the average Total Chaos crossover. SELL
Issue 4 & 5 - Oh man, these issues feature a punk band who can turn into armored warriors. SELL
Issue 7 - Hee hee, this issue introduces the future-Nightwing who becomes "Deathwing" next issue. SELL
That was easy!

I actually thought the issue with the Adam Hughes art featured a decent origin story, but that's about it.
I'm pretty sure Battalion was based on Cable--but more as a copy than as a nod. A sad one at that.
And worse, there was an issue very early on in which Donna Troy turns into a crazy angry giant.
I don't blame you on this sell!
