You know what I would like ?

A low stakes shenanigans comic with the Titans.

Let them hang out with each other. Let them be the found family we know and love.

1990s JLA, Day 21: Oracle!

Remember when Barbara Gordon spent the 1990s as Oracle instead of Batgirl? And she was super rad and had Dana Scully hair? Me too.

Saw a sibling poll and needed to expand it because I fit, like. Mid youngest, youngest in theory only child in practice, and adopted. And I think they all have their own unique parts in the sibling ecosystem.

I’m trying to get into teen titan comics but I can’t find any of them online.

Do you know any sites I could read them on for free? Hopefully without getting a dozen viruses lol

Stated absolutely without judgment: I mostly don't give a shit about piracy, but local comic stores really do need readers' business, as do local libraries, so my first recommendation is to check your local stores for compendiums if you can afford it, and to check your local library if you can't. For instance, the library in my city offers a whole lot of New Teen Titans volumes digitally via Hoopla—there are definitely worse ways to get into Titans comics!

I can't really recommend a site with free online comics that isn't a virus risk. If you're out of other options, then your best bet is to get yourself a good antivirus and google the specific comic volume and issue that you're interested in plus "read online." But it's gonna be a "read at your own risk" situation.

Dick's canonically supposed to be one of the like 5 people in the world total who can perform a quadruple flip. I put forward that this is the one and only thing Cass has never been able to match him on. She is very bitter, he is very smug and neither of them are especially mature about it.

Perfectly encapsulated by the cover, which is perhaps my favorite in all the history of DC:

(Robin Vol 2 #13)

Genuinely hilarious to me that while Dick and Bruce are having yet another domestic about the legacy of Batman, Dick’s need for independence, and Bruce’s piss-poor communication skills

Tim is out in Gotham putting in a SHIFT

This kid is being dragged across the Gotham skyline, tracking down a flying murderer that him and Dick were supposed to be taking down together

That boy needs a raise, doing all the actual work around here

Kori’s secret superpower is Taste like she landed on earth, saw a grand total of 4 people, and was like “yeah I like this one, he’s clearly the best, I’ll keep him” with literally nothing to compare dick to, and she was Right
