Thing is, the one with PG was the best one. Which isn't saying much but it was the best thing about Powergirl book.

But she had no reason to be called Terra, other than a vague familiarity fans have with the Teen Titan character. Let's start naming characters Vox and Pantha for no reason.

The same reason DC keeps recycling names and titles like The Outsiders - for copyright/trademark purposes.

Judas contract is in print in a couple places. Isn't that enough?

You'd have to ask a lawyer.

She actually did have a reason to be called Terra, if just as a way to finally explain where Terra II came from. They managed to tie that up relatively well in the Power Girl book.

Good god just when I thought it couldnt get any worse. Reading the solicits this is what I see for this book.

• First issue of a new series spinning directly out of “THE CULLING!”
• FAIRCHILD, brother and sister THUNDER and LIGHTNING, the monstrous RIDGE, BEAST BOY and TERRA are being pursued by ROSE WILSON and WARBLADE, who want them dead at any cost!
• No one’s survival is certain each month in THE RAVAGERS!

Ugh!! They just fucked up 4 FOUR fucking Titans. One of whom is one of the greatest Titans. I didnt think it was possible to fuck up Thunder and Lightning but DC proved me wrong. :smt011

Fuck you DC FUCK YOU!!!

Are they brother and sister from different parents? Correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't seem to share ethnic similarities...

Warblade? Fucking Warblade from the Wildcats?

For fucks sake. How else can they fuck this up, turn Slade Wilson into Backlash's son or some shit?

Dont count them out they apparently dont have a limit on how far they can fuck things up.
