Cover your bases by buying the 1st SA App, SA #1, and then the New Teen Titans/Tales of keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover your bases by buying the 1st SA App, SA #1, and then the New Teen Titans/Tales of keys. Which, of course, will reignite the issue of what IS their first appearance. The way I always put it is: If Brave and Bold 54 were their ONLY appearance, would it be considered the first appearance of the Teen Titans? The name is never used and they don't even form a team. I think it's just a matter of time--maybe now!--until the market does the same thing they did with Our Army at War, and realizes that the ostensible "first appearance" is really just a prototype. And just as Our Army at War 83 is now recognized as, "Oh, yeah, THIS is Sgt. Rock!" it won't be too long until readers--especially now that we have such easy access to reprints--will realize that it's not until Brave and Bold 60 that they say, "Oh, yeah, THIS is the Teen Titans!" (Not to mention the first appearance of Wonder Girl!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not to mention the first appearance of Wonder Girl!) Or, of course, you could have a Guardians of the Galaxy situation where the old team has basically nothing to do with the movie/television team. It really depends on what characters they use. I have a feeling that we wont see Robin, Kid Flash, and Wonder Girl on this version of the Teen Titans.

Chip Cataldo Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Well, you definitely won't see Robin as they're already announced that Nightwing will be the leader. They also name-dropped Cyborg, Starfire and Raven. Peace, Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike's Rack Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 You got me thinking, is this the future of the hobby? I'm not sure the people buying these are comic fans so much as $$$ fans. Will they stick around when the tide changes or will they shift to the next big thing? Would a really bad movie have the same effect as the Sixth Gun debacle? Or will they just be glad they have a nice copy in their collection of the first bronze appearance of their favorite character, Black Adam? You forgot, "the market is primed for a crash" and "it's the 90's again". I didn't forget because that was not my point, I don't think either is true. You can deflect with retorts but the question was genuine, I was actually hoping for an answer. The hobby survived the 90's it will survive this phase. maybe not an answer so much as a take.

InvstmntComcSuply Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Interesting points about how "highest grossing" actor can be irrelevant. Perfect example of this is Bill Paxton. Because he's essentially a character actor who knows James Cameron, he's got an absurdly per-movie box office gross record (Terminator, Aliens, True Lies, Apollo 13, Twister, Titanic) but no one _ever_ goes to see a flick because he's in it. He's good, but his presence (or not) has little impact on the film's success. Check out Frailty where he both acted and directed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just busted the doors wide open for the 'not cool' people. Hopefully, Paxton forgives you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheDavid Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Just bought BB #60 to go with my #54. Wish I hadn't sold my TTT #44 though. Slowly filling in my SA run. And Bill Paxton, yeah, he's a yawner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakesComics Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I still think DC Comics Presents 26 has some upside but my TTT 44's got pounded with offers this weekend. I'm more partial to BB60 than 54. If I had to choose which is the legit 1st app I think you have to side with the issue where they are referred to by name. This could get interesting.

fett Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Interesting points about how "highest grossing" actor can be irrelevant. I love The Rock & think he's grown into a legitimate actor. But he's yet to prove himself as a lead box office draw (see Hercules). Still, he elevates things like FF and GI Joe. Perfect example of this is Bill Paxton. Because he's essentially a character actor who knows James Cameron, he's got an absurdly per-movie box office gross record (Terminator, Aliens, True Lies, Apollo 13, Twister, Titanic) but no one _ever_ goes to see a flick because he's in it. He's good, but his presence (or not) has little impact on the film's success. If Hudson had survived Aliens he would have been one of the reasons for me to want to see Aliens 3 (if he would have been in it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older stuff has a better chance on being a Personal Collection book than the newer stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
