Titans Rebirth #1
***SPOILERS AHEAD***
Who read this (released last week)?
Pretty good story, that basically directly continues from what happened in DC Rebirth #1 as Wally West goes to his former teammates, trying to get them to remember him and their old lives.
But as I'm reading it, there is some stuff I have to question:
1. Who the hell is the girl in the green hood, and how was she an original Titan?
2. Where's Cyborg and Beast Boy in the original line-up flashbacks?
3. Why is Dick Grayson wearing Tim Drake's Robin outfit in the flashbacks?
I don't think these are just errors that were overlooked, I think they tie-into the "10 years missing" storyline. I'm guessing that the girl in the green cloak is somehow tied to whoever it is that stole 10 years from the DC Universe. And I think the Robin costume and Beast Boy being missing also are intended errors to the timeline meant to stand out.
What are your thoughts on this issue?

As far as i have figured out the girl in the green hood is a character called Omen, apparently she's from the original Teen Titans run back in the 60's, died in gradiation day story aND ca me back in the Blakes Night story arc. If they are taking from that original lineup! Beast boy and cyborg were apparently not apart of the team back then. I have no answer for the robin mixup though. I've been reading a lot of the DC Rebirth actually so far what i've read has been really good. The one that surprisesme the most is the Action Comics series. That one hit the ground running

I'm having withdrawals from the excellent Flash TV Show! I need some more Flash!
So I ordered a crapload of Flash comics from CCL last week. I got all the essential Wally West issues up to the Dark Flash Saga. I didn't get to Geoff John's run, that will be my next target. But I did get the Born to Run storyline, Race Against Time, Chain Lightning, and Dark Flash storylines. I already had the Terminal Velocity (Impulse) storyline. I also got the early issues where he fights Vandal Savage, and the first issue of his new costume. Can't wait for them to get here so I can read them!
That wasn't all, though. I also swung by my Dad's house and borrowed his copy of the 1990 Flash TV Series and have been watching that. While not nearly as good as the modern series, it was pretty damn entertaining by 1990 standards. So far, my favorite episode is the one where he has to take on a 1950s super-villain that cryogenically froze himself to appear in 1990; The Ghost. He ends up having to team-up with a 1950s hero called Nightshade that has to come out of retirement to fight his old nemesis. I'm in the middle of an excellent time-travel episode where he's flung 10 years into the future, and the city is run by a tyrant. That one has been pretty good, too.

***SPOILERS AHEAD***
So, Civil War II #3 came out yesterday. And I'm surprised no one is talking about it, considering the big death that happened. Pretty shocking stuff with the way it all went down, too.
So do you guys think Barton should be held accountable for his actions? Or do you think it was justified since Banner literally asked him to do it?
