All that, but they always seem to get Kid Flash's color scheme right.
Sign of a "classic" costume?

Foreshadowing of the NuDCU version of Beast Boy, who is reddish-orange? Or plaigerism! Dun, dun, dun-dun!
Dark-haired Starfire is neat. I think I like the dark contrail better!
scroll back a little more and you will see the NTT #6 - they showed Changeling's red too...hmmm I dont know about the spanish covers...but I wonder if it is how he is being colored as red throughout the spanish books??

The box with the 'More New Pages from the new DC!' blurb on the #8 cover isn't quite big enough to block the view of He Who Shall Not Be Named, and therefore I hate it.
Hmm, Kory's hair was darker than I remember on that 1st issue. Must be that darn Nuevos Titans time-travel retcon thing again!

As I've mentioned before, when I run across the house ads that feature the cover of #1 (against a black background, I think?) I stop and stare at it.
While looking at #8 to compose my comments, I realize that I can't remember what happens in the issue. This is one of the issues that I picked up long after I started reading Titans.

#8 what I remember from the issue (with the cover jogging my memory) Terry Long is introduced with Donna introducing him to Starfire. Starfire does save the kid from being run over by a Central Park cab. Cyborg gets dumped by his pre-accident girlfriend and ends up meeting the kids with prosthetics & Sarah Sims. Changeling after talking with Cyborg chases away some punks trying to strip his expensive car. Raven uses her soul self to check out a local university, discovers terrorists planting bombs around campus, gathers them up, and races back to have her soul selfjoin with her body in the minute limit. She doesn't make it, but manages to avoid the dire results that she was told would happen. Wally has dinner with his parents (pre-Manhunter dad & alcholic mom) and his dad has him carve the roast seeing as he is now a man.

Sigh. I feel sorry for everyone who missed buying issue #1 fresh off the stands on the day it was released. One of the high points in the life of a comic reader. Seriously.

I can still buy #1 for the first time, anyway; I still don't own a copy. I *read* it fairly early on in a mass market paperback book that reprinted 1-3 (chopped up page-wise, black and white).  The back cover features the Titans' heads against stars, like #8.

The back cover features the Titans' heads against stars, like #8. That book was my very first exposure to the Titans! Gosh - I had completely forgotten about it. I wonder where it is now? My first exposure to pretty much the entire DCU was in black and white like that book actually, because that's how Australia reprinted DC comics. They did it totally randomly too so you might buy a comic that had the Titans on the cover and then you'd get an Omega Men or Atari Force or something as a back-up? Or you'd buy a JLA issue and there would be a Flash or Wonder Woman back-up. Murray Comics (as they were known here) were over-sized. What's ironic is that I read and enjoyed so much of the DCU in black and white back then but now colour is so important to me - I would never buy one of those Showcase Essentials for example. Funny how things change.

  16: So DC siphoned 15-20% off the cover of their HOTTEST property to promote Captain Carrot. At least it wasn't MASK. Shoved over + the "you'll have to go through us" = one of the least notable covers for me. 28. Yep, that first Terra costume had to go. I thought the ponytail thing was interesting...not the look, but the misdirection. Another nice-looking cover, but not a particular favorite. Lash, did ya see the Hero In Hand?

  21. This is rather striking, with the fancified Big Dot behind BB. I'd like to see what could've been without that advertising. 18. Someone sure likes drawing arches.

21. I definitely agree that the ad along the side really screws up the aesthetic of this cover. There is also something missing a little down in the front though...perhaps with the colors? Composition-wise, the cover is fantastic, but there should be more colors besides reds, yellows and orange shadows.
18. Great depiction of Red Star. I also always like when the characters in the back are running out towards the front of the cover, as if they are almost running at you. The blue sky with a 'v' shape anchors it all.

Why the lack of opinions? We got communists and cult weirdos.
