Over at his blog, writer Mark Sable talks about Teen Titans: Cold Case, the one-shot “untold tale” that pits the Teen Titans against the Rogues. It’s a story he wrote for DC a few years ago, but that was shelved at the time. DC has opened up the vaults, possibly due to artist Sean Gordon Murphy’s current popularity, and is releasing it in December.
It’s actually the first meeting between the Titans and The Flash’s Rogues gallery, so Cold is just one of the MANY villains the Titans face. I don’t want to give too much away, but the story also ties into Brad Meltzer’s Identity Crisis, providing an answer to an unresolved mystery there.
If you’re worried that you won’t understand the book because it takes place in the Titans’ past (or because you didn’t read Identity Crisis, or follow the Titans or Flash etc.) – don’t. DC didn’t just dust this story off and publish it. I went back and did a major rewrite, with the primary aim being to make this book as accessible as any other I’ve written.
Head over to the blog entry for more about Cold Case and What if Spider-Man had Killed Kraven the Hunter?

Thanks so much for posting this…I’m really hoping Flash fans (of which I consider myself a huge one) like this (double) issue. If nothing else, for Sean Murphy’s (Joe the Barbarian) art. He knocked it out of the park, and there’s an incredible double page spread with just about every Rogue there’s ever been.
