These are the team comics that I’m the most interested in, which haven’t been listed in any of the other articles I wrote prior to this. There are two Justice League teams, a very Young Justice like Teen Titans and a pair of Legion of Superheroes titles. I’m most excited for Justice League and Teen Titans, out of the lot of them, as they appear to have the characters that I know and like.
Justice League #1
Featuring the major characters of the DC universe: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Cyborg (?), this is the title that starts it all. I really enjoy seeing multiple heroes working together.
Justice League International #1
This team also features Batman, lending more credibility to my theory that Batman has likely become the most popular character in the DC universe. It also features a Green Lantern from the looks of things. It appears that they don’t get along very well, based on this summary from DC: “A team of internationally-drafted superheroes fight each other and their bureaucratic supervisors as much as they do global crime.”
Legion Lost #1
I’ve always been intrigued by the team of heroes from the 31st century, and this is as good a time as any to see if I’ve been missing something that I might really enjoy. The DC comics summary reads: “Seven heroes from the 31st century have traveled back to the present day. Their mission: Save their future from total annihilation. When the future tech they brought with them fails, they find themselves trapped in a nightmarish world and an ultimate struggle to survive.”
Legion of Superheroes #1
This appears to be the rest of the team that had traveled back in time. At first I was put off by the artistic style of the cover art shown here, but then I read the summary, which seems to place it hand-in-hand with the Legion Lost series: “In the 31st century, the Legion of Superheroes is reeling from the loss of seven of their finest — and trying desperately to keep their youngest recruits alive against a series of terrible new threats.”
Teen Titans #1
This is a title that I am very excited about. Not only is it reminiscent of Young Justice in the line-up which features Superboy, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash and Red Robin among others. It is also written by Scott Lobdell, who wrote a favorite X-Men comic of mine: Generation X. I think that, of the titles above, I may be more likely to continue reading this one, if not Justice League as well.
