http://www.newsarama.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6776Neat. Check out that art. It'd be cool if you could barely notice the difference between the old pages and the new ones, but that probably won't happen. This is the coolest part: quote:
And there is one other part that needs to be addressed – making Games work in 2004. “The only thing that Marv and I will have to sit down and figure out is how to make this work as a good piece of suspenseful storytelling, as all of these characters are now throwbacks to the late 1980s – their hairstyles, their clothing, the World Trade Center – all of these things are part of the story elements,” Perez said. “So Marv and I will have to work out a framing sequence that will allow Games to have some sort of ramifications or repercussions, so that this old, ‘untold tale’ will be important to the current day, something to give it a feeling of urgency. The story, if done straight as an untold tale will not have any emotional investment, since everyone knows what has happened to these characters in the 16 years since the story was written. That’s one of the main concerns we have now.”
They're right about that: a story completely set in the past would have no real repercussions.

As an anti-continuity supporter shouldn't you be more of the opinion that the story doesn't need any connection to the present and just be told and to hell with how it connects with continuity? Just happen and be done with it?
Shouldn't you be indiferent to there being a framing sequence or not?
You're confusing, lol...

No he has a contract with CrossGen after the JLA/Avengers run.

I never said I hate every kind of continuity, I just hate the unnecessary forced one. For example, if Wolfman and Perez didn't think the framing sequence would be the best for the comic and DC forced to do it "to respect continuity" then I would be against it.
Continuity is a tool like many others that writers can choose to use or ignore depending on the case. When continuity gets in the way of telling a good story then, as I've said many times before, it can go fuck itself.

It was in hiatus for like five years, but apparently Perez started working on it again so it can be launched on the 30th anniversary of the New Teen Titans.
I wonder if they're keeping the framing sequence written in 2003 (with the Devin Grayson team), or if they're adding another framing sequence to the framing sequence with the current team.

Now they're saying it'll come out at the end of the year.  The 80 pages from the 80's look great. On the downside, Danny Chase is in the book.

Nice artwork but I have to wonder if the story will make any sense to someone who's forgotten 75% of the 80s run.

That's what I was thinking, but then I thought I was getting him mixed up with the guy from the BTAS movie (who looked similar).

He was called Mask-with-a-Capetasm because he had a mask and a cape. The ASM stands for ASS MOLESTING.
