I got into the Wolfram/Pérez comics a couple of decades ago, as a '03 BBRae shipper, and was quite surprised to see the OG Raven relationship was with Wally's, whose characterisation was quite different from the Johns' run I was following. I always thought it was something that was left behind once it is uncovered Wally was somewhat manipulated into his feelings, but, now that I am following through with the run, I am surprised at how much this is core for both characters, specially Wally, and that it is *quite good* as teenage love representation, in a cosmic comic scale, of course.

I've read the early beginnings of Wolfman & Perez's Titans when I was a kid, and Crisis, and I knew by cultural osmosis the Monitor was introduced in the Titans but I would never imagined it was by helping Scaparelli, the mobster who endangered kids. Just got in this part in my current read through of the run. It is weird, because I had always attributed a somewhat noble aura to the Monitor, specially after Grant Morrison doubled down on them being DC's Watchers in Final Crisis.

This feels like a 100% Morrison rationale for a super power lol. Was this the first time it was established Kallark's power comes from belief in oneself? Was this ever picked up again by later creators?

This is so wildly out of character for both Corsair and the Starjammers, that I just can't believe this wasn't supposed to be a set up for a future storyline where there was going to be a big heist, and Corsair is playing a role. Was this ever explained?
