Team Titans #6


Now kiss!

In this extra special episode, the Team Titans decide to visit their past selves and their families. Just a second!

Okay, I'm back. My cat Pelafina who sleeps on a fur mushroom beside me was growling in her sleep and her tail actually got all poofy. So I woke her up from her catfight nightmare and she looked around confused and yelled at me a few times before rushing off, presumably to find the cat she had just been fighting in her head and to make sure it wasn't still in the apartment.

Anyway, none of the Titans have a satisfactory visit, except maybe Dagon. The Team Titans discover that they didn't just change the future of this Earth but that this Earth's past isn't exactly like their Earth's past. Kilowatt discovers that his family is African-American. He might be okay with that but his uncle shoots at him with a shotgun. Tara visits Terra's grave and learns about love from Phantasm disguised as an African-American gravedigger. She should have known he was a ghost! Battallion learns that his wife was an African-American woman in love with some skinny, long-haird jerk. Redwing's parents have twin girls (probably African-American) instead of a boy and a girl so she shrugs her wings and thinks, "Fuck it! Wrong family. No emotional attachment at all!" Dagon isn't the only one with a suprirse African-American element to his past. But then he's from London so that probably explains that somehow.

In other words, Marv Wolfman seems to believe that if you went back to the past to see family, the easiest way to forget about them so you could continue to live your life is if you found out they were African-American. What a racist dick.

It's also possible I interpreted this story completely wrong.
