Incense and Peppermints

So I play Lilith over at JLU MUX, which is totally a great place you should check out! Lilith is a special favourite of mine, and I really like the timeline and canon at JLU. Don’t even talk to me about the books past 1996. And even then it’s kind of pushing it.

Anyway, this is a picture of a silly thing I whipped up chatting with Wally’s player there. I thought it would give you a chuckle!

Yes, they are wearing each other’s clothes in the last panel there.

Team Titans -- as they were supposed to be!

To make a long story short, in the 90s DC were going to do a series called Team Titans that would be a different take on the whole 'Titans' business, set in a 60s-esque world that was the direct product of a craaaazy mind (Harlequin, from way back in Teen Titans v1). They got some really great talent on the project, everyone was really excited to tackle it...

...and then the idiot editors, as usual, completely ruined it by shifting it to be a really weak attempt at imitating X-Force, which they mistakenly thought would be a popular move. I guess hindsight is always 20/20, huh guys?

Anyway, I decided to draw the Team Titans in what I imagined would be their look if the book had really done what it was supposed to do. I wish it had. It would be the first original, different Titans perspective they would have done in ages, and it would probably still have a following now, looking back on it and saying 'man, why couldn't they do all their stuff like this? It was so distinctive and unique!'

The character concepts were good. The realisation unfortunately wasn't. But for you, Team Titans...here's what could have been!
