I  just re-read the new titans from 71 to 100,the "titans hunt"
storyline.Frankly, I think that turning a once populer character like
jerico evil,then killing him off,probibilycost them some old fans,as
well as turning cyborg into an automation.They came VERY close as well
to killing aqualad off.It seems that nothings left of the new team
titans in current dc continuity. If anyone kept up with the title after
#101 to #130,I'd like to hear what transpred,as well with the team
titans after issue#10. As well, was it ever resolved just who masquraded
as Rita Farr in issue#99? What did it for me,was seeing how insaine they
were turning Changling into, & the truely hidous creatures he was
becoming,as well as the truely AWFUL art of Bill Jaska!! Man, he was
decent on the x-men fill ins he did,but he ground the titans into the
dirt!! Marv Wolfman as well, spent a good dozen years on the
relationship between Nightwing & Koriander, & that seems now to be just
dust in the wind.Frankly, I was hooked on the title from issue 13
on,then got the first 12 issues. By chance I had bought the first
introductary tale, but it did'nt grab me.I bought them from 13 to
59,then from #1 vol 3, to 35, when I at last quit. I bought 7 issues of
the return of Perez with 50,a few now and then like 60-61,65, then with
71, stuck it out for 30 more issues.I  had the very first issue back in
65-66 or so, but they didnt much grab me,even the Neil Adams issues in
69 that I picked up.Wolfman &Perez, produced some of their finest work
of their careers on the early 80s issues.When you've reached the top,
where does one go but down? I think that Wolfman just couldnt wrap up
his storylines, & like Claremont, draged them to death.The brother blood
one in particuler.At best, I give the new titans to issue 50.
