DC Comics déclarait vouloir mettre un « frein » à la continuité en se consacrant exclusivement à la qualité des histoires. Dans cette optique, ils lanceront trois nouvelles mini-séries s’intéressant aux conséquences de la saga Convergence.
Dan Abnett et Paulo Siqueira délivreront l’histoire secrète des Teen Titans à l’occasion de la saga Titans Hunt. Le titre s’intéressera à la jeune psychique Lilith qui entrevoit, dans ses visions, une équipe de Titans qu’elle n’a jamais connu.

Written by Dan Abnett | Art by Paulo Siqueira | On-sale October 21
CONVERGENCE is over, but the ripples are still being felt, especially by a young precog named Lilith. What are these visions she’s having of a Teen Titans team the world never knew? And why does she feel compelled to seek out Dick Grayson, Roy Harper, Donna Troy and an Atlantean named Garth and warn them that something dark and sinister is coming after them? Who are Mal, Gnarrk, Hank Hall and Dawn Granger, and what is their connection to the others—and to the fate of every soul on Earth? This is the Secret History of the TEEN TITANS! IGN Logo [/quote]
[quote]Yeah. All of the characters, including Lilith to a certain extent, all of them are discovering things about themselves they didn’t know before.
And we’re going to discover “why” they don’t know those things. And therefore we’re going to discover a connection between some or all of those characters as the story progresses.
Because you know, they aren’t teenage sidekicks of classic heroes. Donna Troy, for instance, is an extremely interesting character because she really is a sort of vengeful Amazonian construct, a being of clay, and she’s only really been an adversary of Wonder Woman so far. Garth is also at least a threat, if not an out-and-out villain.
So to actually draw these together and to show why they are what they are makes it more interesting because they’ve got further to come. I think if it was just a matter of, you know, Robin getting on the Bat-phone and ringing everybody up and saying, « Can I borrow your sidekick for the weekend?, » that wouldn’t be a very interesting comic book.[/quote]

Ils sont marrants, chez DC : lancer des mini-séries s’intéressant aux conséquences d’une autre mini-série, c’est typique de la continuité, ça.
En même temps, si quelqu’un a compris les justifications de DiDio sur l’absence-de-continuité-qui-est-en-fait-une-méta-supra-continuité, qu’il se dénonce.
Titans Hunt, c’était pas forcément génial, mais vu le contexte dans lequel ça a été publié (la succession de titres plus désastreux les uns que les autres sur les Teen Titans et la marasme général de l’année DCYou), ça suffisait pour donner l’impression d’être plutôt vers le haut du panier. Je sens Abnett tout de même bien plus à l’aise / inspiré sur ses Titans post-Rebirth (je crains juste que cette nouvelle série, en terme de continuité, justement, se trouve un peu trop liée à l’event foireux de Geoff Johns que la plupart des autres ont plus le luxe d’ignorer… mais c’est un autre problème).
