- I'm mostly excited about where Dan Abnett takes the Titans. I think he and Andy Lanning did an amazing job on Guardians of the Galaxy and his work on Titans Hunt has been great! Trying to merge the recent character changes after all the reboots with the original history of the Teen Titans can't have been easy, but I think he came up with a great way to do it. It made me like the Titans all over again.
I wonder if his work helped start the idea of this new Rebirth line or if reinventing the Titans was always part of the plan?

- I know what you mean, Rapha1978. After seeing the live announcement, it didn't seem to be quite the Rebirth I was hoping for. But then bringing Hal Jordan back from the mostly-dead, making the Green Lanterns into a pretty cool Space Police Force and then having the awesome Black Lanterns kill a lot of them is a pretty hard act to follow.
They're trying to bring the rookies up the ranks (e.g. two new-ish Green Lanterns - okay, a Green Lantern and a Power Ring - in the JLA) and working on the legacy concept. That's a pretty good idea. A few fresh faces, rather than having all the same guys doing all the same things all over again (but in a different costume).
Although, I'm a little concerned about them cutting down the titles and doubling the output. I hope they have enough good stories to tell.
I guess acknowledging Flashpoint and the New 52 is better than a full reboot. I hope they do what Abnett seems to be doing in Titans Hunt and acknowledge the history before that as well. Try and stay true to a character's full history (within reason, because there's bound to be a lot of contradictions). But take the best, you know? Time will tell.
