You ever see an older band, maybe booked at your local fair or casino, that maybe has like one member of their old roster? Usually they try to get replacement members that might pass a first glance; this one has some familiar names that you might not recognize! From 2016, Teen Titans #16, "The Sum of Its Parts" Written by Will Pfeifer, pencils by Miguel Medonca, inks by Dexter Vines. I have the regular cover, but there is a coloring book variant, and good luck with that! I couldn't tell you how to color even half these costumes, but it's entirely possible you could give somebody a better color scheme by accident or guesswork.
I was thinking there was only one, traditional Titan in this issue: Beast Boy, or Changeling, whatever they're calling Gar now. But there was Raven, too, in a new costume. They also have Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, and (Red) Robin; but they're Cassie, Bart, and Tim; all of whom have been Titans before but their predecessors are probably remembered more as such. Rounding out the team are the new Power Girl, Bunker, Chimera, and I think the heroic version of Doomsday? Well, the latter two may be on the way out: the Durlan Chimera's people come to take her back, by force, and she agrees rather than to continue wrecking Tim's little Titans plans. Doomsday had to get back to his internship at S.T.A.R. Labs, and Bart ditches as well, although he's considerate enough to leave a note. A massive note written in Sharpie on the floor at super-speed: I wonder if Tim had to have that erased to cover their tracks? Still, it looks like most of the remaining roster stuck it out to the last issue of this series, #24.
Is there even a current Teen Titans book right now? (Well, given current events, not right now, but you know what I mean.) Or is it all Young Justice? I did get a recent issue of that guest-starring the Warlord, but that was enough Bendis to last me a while...
