I ever tell ya this place was originally going to be a Titans blog? Prob'ly...
Anyhoo, today we wrap up the two-part Survival "epic" from 2000 (Part 1 is right here). I'll go ahead and toss it up on the Collected Editions page in a bit.
--
We open with a young Dick Grayson sitting out Haley's Circus with his elephant pal Zitka. He heads into the park proper and chats up his parents... and they have a bit of a quarrel about his "playing Gotham", and suggest perhaps "playing Metropolis" was more a more worthy game.
We then shift scenes to Paradise Island where Wonder Girl is diving from a waterfall. A friend asks about the whereabouts of Diana... to which Donna suggests she's on "Man's World". Hey, waitasec... wasn't Donna herself just there as well?
Next stop, Atlantis... where a young Garth is being comforted by his mother. I guess the Atlantean kids were making fun of his purple eyes... which I suppose was probably a thing that happened. Garth feels like something just ain't right.
Elsewhere, a young Wally West gets beaten up by his post-Crisis (and, perhaps... a Manhunter) father Rudy.
Finally, we meet up with Roy... who swings over to his Park Ranger father while in full American Indian garb (plus blue jeans). Things might begin to get a bit meta here... Roy asks about his mother, to which his father mentions that he doesn't have any particulars to share about her... she's was just "never referred to", and was never meant to play into Roy's story. Weird.
At this point, grown-up Roy walks into the scene... and it's revealed that his "father" is actually... the Gargoyle! That reaction you just felt was probably either yawning... or fighting off a yawn. Don't hold it in, it ain't good for ya.
Young Roy then (somehow) convinces his father/Gargoyle to escort him to Haley's Circus... where he meets young Dick Grayson... and where it's confirmed that they still have memories of their real lives.
Then... Wally, Garth and Donna also enter the tent (Donna escorted in by John Grayson)! They're still a bit salty toward one another, but come to realize that their anger is both (in part) caused by and strengthening the Gargoyle.
John Grayson is then revealed to be... the Gargoyle! He reveals that the kidlets are in Limbo, and explains that he was able to return to taunt them due to the recent "crisis in hell", which we've already discussed here at the blog during Day of Judgment. Worth noting that this fella had been locked away since Teen Titans #14 (March, 1968)... and is actually a transformed version of Brom Stikk... ya know, Mister Twister!
The Titans tussle with the Gargoyle for a while, but it's plainly clear that they can't do much to hurt the baddie in Limbo. Robin hurls a 'rang at him... which, actually looks to do the trick. Well, actually... it's pretty obvious that it is a trick. Gargoyle just wants the Titans to keep up with the in-fighting.
And so, the Titans begin to walk... through all of the bits of scenery we opened with... barring Atlantis of course, that would just be madness. During this walk, the Titans make nice... and actually decide to push their baggage aside and listen to what each other is saying. It'd be touching... if it weren't so contrived.
Then... then... Roy starts getting confrontational again. The rest of the Titans haven't the foggiest idea what he's on about. It gets so heated that he actually punches Robin in the jaw... which, uh... somehow wakes them all up in the present?
Okay... it's flimsy, but we'll let Dick explain. He claims that the Gargoyle was trying to "stagnation"... which is to say, doing things the same way. Roy's punch was "novel" and therefore made them "unstuck" in Limbo. I... guess?
We wrap up with the T-Jet being thawed out... and the Titans heading home. While in the air, Roy admits that his "saving the day" was purely accidental. Wonk wonk.
--
There was that saying that went around the internet awhile back... hell, you still see it from time to time. What was it... "You never go full..." something or another. Ah, it must've been... "You never go full Twilight Zone"!
The second part of Survival goes full Twilight Zone... and, for the most part... it's a bore. Anytime we take a team and toss 'em in Limbo... or put them in their most "perfect world" or make them face their "worst fears", I kinda check out. It's overused... overdone... and, really not a whole lotta fun (rhyme!).
I'll admit... the way Roy busts'em out of Limbo was cute... and definitely a "zag", when I was expecting a "zig"... but, that doesn't really make up for the rest of the book. I get the feeling that maybe Grayson thought of the (admittedly clever) ending first... and wrote backwards?
I'll give a bit more credit where it's due... Grayson really did some digging here. The Gargoyle/Mister Twister isn't a villain we hear about all that much. I'd go as far as to suggest many current-day Titans comics fans only know about him from the semi-recent Titans Hunt limited series. And this was 2000... before Showcase Presents "phonebooks" and digital distribution made these stories easily and affordably accessible... so, there was definitely a little bit of homework done. The idea that she might've had some "help" does nag at me a bit... but for now, we'll just play it straight.
For the cliffhanger last issue... the Gargoyle doesn't even appear as much of a threat (also, how did Dick get out of the caved-in cave?). I really wish they'd have just played this one straight. Could've been a Titans Classic! We do at least get a bit of closure on Wally and Donna's drama... which was handled pretty well, if not wiped away a hair too conveniently.
The art here, while still nice... wasn't as nice as last issue. I did notice there was an extra inker listed on this one... which might've had something to do with it. Worth mentioning... ya know how sometimes we bag on artists for only having a handful of go-to "faces" in their arsenal? Gotta say... Mary Grayson just looked like a taller version of Wonder Girl here... and, ya know... vice versa.
Overall... Survival started out exceeding all expectations. Great interpersonal drama... fun conflict... rising tension... and then, freaking Limbo. If Twilight Zone riffs are your thing, you might dig this.

I ever tell ya that this blog was originally going to be all-Titans, all the time? I probably have... but I beg your indulgence, cuz I'm gonna say it one more time (today... I'm sure I'll repeat this eventually down the line).
Way back when we first started this... my first post was a look at Tales of the Teen Titans #55. One of my favorite single issues of all time. I figured, from there I'd just use my Showcase Presents: Teen Titans "phone book" and maybe do an issue a week.
Well, that's not exactly how it worked out is it? Maybe it's like when you change something like a half-degree... and it doesn't look like it's that far off the mark until it's hundreds of miles away. I dunno.
Anyhoo. I took a look at my index... and, found it actually quite humorous that there's so little Titans material covered here! So, I'm gonna try a little harder to rectify that.
--
As we open, we come to find that things aren't so sweet with the recently-re-formed Titans. The Honeymoon is most definitely over, and all of their idiosyncrasies are no longer looked as as cute. When Donna suggested the founders maybe "get away" for a little bit and try to find themselves, the newbies felt that was a capital idea... and from the looks of it, even volunteered to help them pack for the trip!
And so, the founding five (or four-plus-Speedy) have gone off for a Titans retreat on a deserted island. This isn't the first time we've seen a little Titans camp-out... and it won't be the last. Donna plays "den mother" and tries to keep the peace among the gang... but it's to no avail. She stomps off to unload the T-Jet, leaving the boys to bicker among themselves.
The razzing grows more and more personal until Donna just can't take it anymore. She hurls their baggage... their literal baggage, that is... into their campfire. Ay yai yai. It's probably worth noting that Donna's not exactly herself around this time... ya see, there was this Dark Angel... and Donna lost her memory... and everything Donna knows about herself is based on Wally West's memories of her. It's a whole "thing".
Just then... it starts to rain. Ain't that always the way? Then, as we know... rain can only do two things to a situation 1) make it romantic... or, 2) make it a whole lot worse. Well... let's explore that second thread first. The fellas continue to squabble, with Roy going to stomp away into the woods/jungle/place on the island covered with trees. Dick lambastes him for "walking away", and Aqualad calls him (Roy, that is) a junkie and... a racist. Well, Roy ain't havin' none'a that. He reminds the gang (and us) that he was raised by the Navajo, which rules out any sort of "-ist" allegations. I'm not sure that's how it works, but his heart's in the right place. Then Garth doubles-down with the junkie talk. Feels like we might be reaching a point-of-no-return, don't it?
As Roy disappears into the trees, Dick spills the beans that Roy and Donna are currently knockin' boots. Speaking of which, we next join Roy and Donna... who look to be getting ready to... knock boots.
While Dick, Wally and Garth try and build a quickie shelter... and argue some more... we shift back over to Titans Tower, where Vic and Kori are trying to get some New Tamaran information from a... cold and very distant Oracle. Ya see, they don't know Oracle's true identity... but Oracle knows that Kori might still have eyes for one Dick Grayson.
Back on the islands, the rainstorm has advanced into a full-on monsoon. Roy loses his grip on his bow (and no, that's not a euphemism)... Donna flies off to grab it (again... not a euphemism). Then... they start arguing! Donna brings (Roy's daughter) Lian up... which really gets under his skin. Donna then tells him that she's afraid what will happen to Lian after she and Roy eventually break up. That's probably not the kinda conversation you wanna have with the woman you love, right? Anyhoo... Roy splits... because, evidently... that's what Roy does?
Back at the beach, Tempest... fearful of the rising tides... has encased the T-Jet in ice, which... I dunno, sounds so much worse than having the tide come in? I'm not sure jets work after being thawed out... then again, I'm no engineer. Roy approaches to resume their earlier quarrel... and the fellas realize that this time Dick's disappeared. At this point, Wally really lets loose with some anti-Dick sentiment. And again, that's not a euphemism either.
Elsewhere on the beach, Dick is (unsuccessfully) trying to build a lean-to while Donna rattles his cage about her recent encounter with Roy. They are soon joined by the rest of the team. Wally and Garth mock Dick's carpentry skills... claiming that Batman would've already figured it out.
The argument intensifies... again. This time Wally and Donna split off from the group. Donna reveals how weird it feels to be "built" from Wally's own memories of her. She doesn't know what's real... or what's Wally's "Pollyanna Fantasy" version of "Donna Troy".
Just then... a tree falls! Like right on top of Wally! Donna tells him to vibrate through it... and he does. Once the dust (and wood chips) settle, she lambastes him for endangering her with his out of control vibration. I mean, wha--? You gotta be more clear with your demands, Donna... vibrate or don't. Er, not a euphemism? Worth noting that our monsoon has been upgraded to "hurricane" at this point.
As we approach our conclusion, the Titans reconnoiter and notice that Nightwing found a cave!
As they go to enter it, however... Dick triggers an explosion which closes off entry. I dunno... if given the choice between being out in a hurricane, or sitting in a caved-in cave... I'm gonna brave the rain!
We close out with the "big" reveal. The Titans have been acting so terrible toward one another because of... the Gargoyle? Oh, c'mon.
--
Okay... we've got quite a bit to unpack here.
Devin Grayson seems to get a lotta flack online for how she handled the Titans. Gotta say... I'm not so sure I agree with some of the levels of vitriol I've seen.
Let's get it out of the way... the ending sucks. That said, the only reason why I feel that way is because of how strong I felt the rest of the issue was. The Gargoyle reveal feels like such a cop out. It's like when you're watching a really good episode of Twilight Zone or something... and you're just riveted to the set, and the climax is... aliens (or something just as cop-outty). The "easy out" almost never results in a satisfying story... and sometimes is even bad enough to spoil what came before.
Let's look at the Titans... and what brought them here. These are young people who have been friends forever. They didn't have a shot at a "normal" life... and so, not only are the Titans friends... they're also their own support structure. Nobody in the world can educatedly-empathize (which totally isn't a word that exists) with them better than other members of the team.
Look at friends you've had since you were little... or if you're still little, look at the friends you have now. You can't tell me you've never gotten on each others' nerves. Maybe even threw (and/or received) a punch or two. That's just something that happens. It's human... which is my whole point. We have a team of young people who didn't have the opportunity at a "normal" life... who are acting in a completely normal way!
The Honeymoon is over. They've reunited... the hoopla has passed... and now it's time to move forward without the novelty of "how cool is this?". I mean, if we wanna be complete wannabe literary savages... we could compare this to the readership. The novelty of "how cool is it that the Titans are back?" has, at this point, passed. We're in our second year of stories... so, what's next?
It also might be worth pointing out that the Titans are all at different points in their lives... which, is a very new dynamic for them. This is just another "human" thing they must face. Wally's on the Justice League... so he can't give the Titans all of his time. Roy and Garth both have children. I think, as we've all gotten older (those of us who are "older"), we've seen friendships... well, maybe notsomuch "end", but "go cold" as people have moved on with their lives. Gotten married... started families and careers... stuff like that. It can be hard to swallow... which, makes the Titans' reactions here so damn good.
For all I know, this might've originally been intended as a fight-free/villain-free arc, as the founding five (or four plus Speedy) re-learn why they've been a "family" for so long. The Gargoyle might've been a last minute addition. I hope that's the case anyway... because this could have (and perhaps should have) been a Titans Classic. Grayson's definitely got the chops to make this feel like "real" interactions.
I remember absolutely loving this the first time I read it half a lifetime ago. Though, when the jibes started to go "over the line", I was just waiting for that other shoe to drop... and unfortunately, it did.
Overall... despite not caring for the ending (at all), I'd still recommend checking this out. This Titans volume isn't perfect (and it becomes pretty much unreadable toward the end)... but I'd say this bit is worth a look. Mustn't forget we've got Mark Buckingham on art... and he really does a great job here as well.

After yesterday's chat about a rather infamous Devin Grayson work, I figured... why not read something else by her?
Also, seeing I didn't get any kind of nasty tweets or mail, I'm hopeful nothing I said yesterday was taken as offensive. Either that, or just nobody read it. Probably the latter... but hopeful for the former.
Anyhoo... let's check out the Titans recruitment drive in the... over-sized, over-priced Secret Files and Origins! Also, if you want to check out my thoughts on the first issue of this series, click right here.
--
Our first story opens with Arsenal and Gar using their new, ahem, Vic-computer to check out the Titans roll-call archive. Looks like ol' Cyborg's already making himself useful to the team! Roy let's Gar know that there's room for him on this new team if he chooses to be a part of it. He gets a pretty flippant response about being an afterthought for his offer. This leads to a flashback, wherein the "founding" Titans discuss their recruitment process. Our main takeaway is that Roy is a flirt... something that we will unfortunately see more of as we continue.
We pop over to our first old Titan cameo. Apparently the reformation of the Titans is big enough news (and public-enough news) to be broadcast and reported on... which, I dunno... feels kinda weird. Anyhoo, we see Flamebird watching the news report... and waiting for the phone to ring. Some say she's sitting there to this day!
We shift over to watch our first actual recruitment go down. Flash heads to the mall, where... of course, Toni Monetti, Argent is hanging out. She's portrayed as a pretty big superhero fangirl... something that's kinduva "thing" in comics these days... so, she might've been a bit ahead of her him in that regard. Anyhoo, she geeks out... and unleashes her energy daggers... almost killing some of her fellow shoppers. Wally is able to save the day... and uses the event as proof that she needs some training. She accepts the invitation, natch.
Back at Dayton's, Vic and Gar have a poolside chat about their potential futures as Titans. Seems like Cyborg's just happy to have a second chance after that whole Technis Imperative mess... but Gar... isn't too sure. After all, he's got his Hollywood career to consider. Yeah, really...
To our next recruitment... it's Nightwing attempting to draft Jesse Quick. He gets a "thanks, but no thanks".
Then it's cameo-the-second... and it's our old... old friend, Duela Dent. She's in a bar reading the newspaper... and the Titans reformation is actually front-page news (soooo, in other news... nothing!). She's sure she'll be getting a call. She even brags to another bar patron about her having fooled the original Titans into believing she was the daughter of the Joker... and then the daughter of Two-Face. Well, she was lying both times... because, in reality she's the daughter of... Doomsday?!
We're off to... maybe Atlanta, where Damage is surrounded by the Feds. I mean, if you destroyed a great big chunk of Atlanta... and got banned from the city... why in the hell would you keep trying to go back??? Anyhoo, before he can be taken in, Tempest arrives to make him an offer. The Feds don't seem to care, and refuse to back off... so Garth uses his whole "Atlantean diplomat" card.
This only enrages the lead Fed-guy... and he attempts to show Garth Damage's file... only to find that it doesn't exist! How can that be? I'm glad you asked... ya see, Arsenal erased it while making out with a federal clerk... because Roy's sole character trait at this point is "very sexual dude".
We briefly pop back to Dayton's to see Vic and Gar... still talking about what they're going to do. This time, they're playing PlayStation though. We then hop back to Nightwing's recruitment attempt. He surprises Jesse (Chambers) Quick by visiting her in her civilian guise. He gives her the pitch again... however, before she can reply... he vanishes.
Then we're off to Bludhaven, where Starfire (who's been crashing on Dick Grayson's couch) is fighting the former Killer Moth (now a disgusting bug-beast called Charaxas). Shortly, Donna Troy zooms in to help her out... and invite her to rejoin the Titans. Kory agrees, but wonders why it was Donna, and not Dick to "pop the question".
Cameo the third! Mal and Karen pretend to be "cool" with their retirement.
We next join Arsenal, who is chatting up Supergirl. If you recall she spent some time as a Titan. Hell, those were some pretty dark times for the Titans, so I wouldn't hold it against you if you blocked it out. Anyhoo, Roy... being Roy, flirts a bit. That is, his sole character trait, after all. Well... flirting and heroin, anyway. Anyhoo again, he asks her what her idea of a "good time" is, prompting her to whisper something quite vulgar into his ear. Wonk wonk wonkkk?
Back with Nightwing... Jesse Quick finally tracks him down, after canvasing the entire east coast for an hour. They talk... and it comes down to her feeling like a cheap replacement for full-time JLAer Wally West. Well, if it walks like a duck, right? Anyhoo... she finally agrees.
Back at Dayton's, Roy checks to see if Vic's made his decision yet... annnnd, he's in!
We wrap up back at Titans Tower, and get our first look at the new team. Nightwing asks Gar if he's joining up to... and he turns down the offer! That's kind of a strange note to end on... but it's the only note we get!
Our second story is a two-page bit where Donna is putting Roy's daughter, Lian to bed. The tot notices the first picture of the Teen Titans doesn't include Donna nor her daddy... and asks "Wassupwitdat?" This leads to Donna telling her the tale of Mr. Twister... which more or less bores little Lian to sleep.
Our third story is yet another two-pager... this time starring a young Argent. While... at the mall, she witnesses a battle between the New Teen Titans and the Brotherhood of Evil... and is immediately awe-struck.
Our fourth and final story is a "lost" story... that kinda puts a bow on the last iteration of the New Titans... the "Arsenal Titans". Ya see, they were fighting a fella calling himself the Disruptor... who for a little while made them all look like a bunch of geeks. He even takes down Kyle Rayner (who was, believe it or not, a Titan).
Finally, Donna (who was a Darkstar... calling herself Darkstar at this point) distracts the Destructor long enough for Roy to sneak in and sock'm in the mush.
All's well that ends well, right? Well, no... a nosy reporter (we know she's a reporter because she's wearing a great big "Press" pin on her lapel is watching... and taking notes. Nearby, a pair of police officers are busy looking for Starfire....'s boobs, er "hair".
Turns out the reporter's scathing take on the Titans latest caper gets them "fired" from their federal position. Wow, talk about a mercy killing! Roy disassembles the team... and we find out that might've been the plan the entire time. Wow, so it really was a mercy killing!

Ya know... I don't think I've ever read a DC Secret Files and Origins where I felt I got my money's worth. I mean, five-bucks is a lot to ask of a reader today... imagine almost twenty-years ago! Five-dollars for a story that could've ran in the ongoing title... followed up by some throwaway strips and some (often contradictory) profile pages that had long lost their novelty since Who's Who in the DC Universe first ran... yikes! That said, I love running into them in the cheap-o bin. Feels like I'm getting away with something!
That also said... the price is one of those things that would definitely affect what I "got out of" this issue. Because the (lead) story... is pretty good! If this were just another issue of Titans, I'd say it's one you ought to check out. There's some neat character interaction, a few semi-obscure cameos, and Paul Pelletier art. A solid and fun issue of Titans. Unfortunately... it's a Secret Files and Origins... which, as I said... you might find in a cheap-o bin, but then again... you might find it bagged/boarded/binned at your local shop with an (even more) inflated sticker price. I'll tell ya what, if I paid $4.95 for this... I don't think I'd have enjoyed the story as much as I did. I'd still feel somewhat ripped-off.
Anyhoo... Secret Files and Origins "format" rant out of the way... let's try and bring the positivity back and talk about what we do get. Our lead story, and really our only "full length" story, was a fun... if not entirely necessary, read. It's always fun to check in with some former/retired Titans, and seeing the likes of Doomsday's Daughter Duela was pretty neat.
I thought some of the pairings here were great as well. We've got Flash being the only Titan who can keep up with motormouth Argent in conversation... thought that was a lot of fun... even if I'm not entirely keen on her character. I hate to use terms like "Mary Sue", because it's overused... and often-used as a sort of "catch all"... but I do feel like it's a bit telling that Ms. Monetti was the only member of the New New New Teen Titans to cross over. I can't recall if she ever starts crushing on Nightwing... but that would about seal the deal for me.
Dick recruiting Jesse Quick was fitting... they're both characters that push themselves... and overburden themselves with responsibility. Jesse herself refers to him as a "fellow workaholic". I think Dick making the trip meant a lot more than if Wally had. It might've informed her that they were serious about bringing her on board.
Dick not recuiting Kory, while it seems a bit obvious and "cheap", at least opens us up to exploring some potentially interesting story threads. Still not too happy that she's being recruited as a "mentee" when she's been a member of the Titans for....ever. Same with Vic, while we're at it... though, at least with him... he's in a brand new body, and might require some training.
Then there's Roy. Oh boy. I really hate it that he's been made into this one note flirt. That's really his whole gig here. He threatens to flirt with Jesse and Toni... he flirts to erase Damage's file... and he flirts with Supergirl. I dunno... just strikes me as a pretty lame waste of a character.
We'll wrap up with Gar... it feels like we've already read this story. Gar no longer wanting to be "the joke"... no longer wanting to be "laughed at". Maybe I'm conflating him with other superhero team "class clowns"... I'm sure I've read this story about a dozen times before with Iceman in Beast Boy's role.
Not sure why they didn't have him join up... it's not like there were any big plans for him. Though, to be fair, I wanna say he had a miniseries around this time... maybe they were freeing him up for that. If that's the case, I'm cool with it.
Our back-up features were... I dunno... they happened, I guess. The Mr. Twister bit was fun in a "this is how everything started" sort of way... but, completely unnecessary. Gotta figure, if you're slapping down a fiver for this book, you probably already know about that.
Our other two-pager is an Argent story... which, again... I feel like isn't something we needed to see. This could've been explained in a single word balloon. I get that we're trying to fill pages here... and this is really more a complaint about the over-priced SF&O format... but, ehhh...
The final story bridges the gap from New Titans to... this Titans, or at least to the Technis Imperative. Roy wants to dissolve the team... so he, has them save the city from the Disruptor in front of a reporter? Yeah, that's some solid planning there, pal! Maybe I'm just dense... but, what exactly did the Titans do wrong here? They saved the day... they might've stumbled a bit... but nobody was hurt, and the city wasn't destroyed. How exactly would this lead to Sarge Steel giving them the boot? If teams were disbanded every time a villain got in a lucky punch... we wouldn't have any teams left, right? I dunno... just seems forced... and silly.
The Profile Pages? Well, they're also a thing that exists... and at this point we were about five-years removed from the latest DC reboot... and five-years away from the next. So, I guess we got to enjoy them for a little while anyway! I will say, I always enjoy base blueprints... and I'm glad we got to see the plans for the new Titans Tower (included below).
Overall... I really hate to say it... but (at cover price and above) this one is for Titans completists only (even digitally, you're stuck paying $2.99 for this one). If you luck across it in a cheap-o bin, however, don't hesitate! There is a really fun story in here... which I'm guessing a lot of folks might've missed out on the first time around. There's also plenty of great art mixed into this package.
