Or – “Two Teams With Much In Common…”
In the early 80s, DC Comics was pretty much on the skids. It was the Teen Titans that put a stop to their sales fall, and as always with comics, a successful move causes editorial to go back to the well again. Luckily, the well brought up the Outsiders, a team fronted by Batman instead of Robin, who consisted of two existing characters and three new kids, just like the Titans themselves. It was inevitable that Barr & Aparo’s Outsiders would meet Wolfman & Perez’s Titans, especially given the presence of Geo-Force and Terra on the respective teams. But their first meeting was tumultuous, with the former Dynamic Duo clashing, and both teams left for dead. I’d say it ought to be a short review, but since it’s a nearly 30 year old book, they probably got better…
