The New Teen Titans #19 (April 1986)


I wish!

This is probably the biggest contributing issue which caused me to hate Dick Grayson for twenty years. What a fucking asshole. Donna isn’t very pleasant either. None of the Titans do anything of note except bad mouth each other, almost die, consummate their alien marriages, and eat hot dogs. Failure by everybody except the doctors at STAR Labs who save Cyborg’s life.

Number of Issues Where The Teen Titans Do Anything That Would Cause People To Adore Them: 1 of 19.

In this issue, Dick needs somebody to blame for the Titans being total failures and he doesn't want to look in a bat mirror, so he blames Donna Troy and her shitty husband. Which is, you know, totally reasonable.


And she didn't even help Terry with that! So he eventually loses his fucking job and has to go work in a bookstore! Which is maybe the most relatable thing about Terry Long.

Almost dying, being Cyborg's specialty, leaves him in a near death state until he can get an upgrade to his machinery. Although I'm not sure he's in the most capable hands.


I'd very much appreciate a scientist who doesn't rely on prayer to save my toaster friend.
