  • The plot of "J." Jericho has been trapped inside the heroes' computer system for years, with a nasty technopath and a menacing avatar of a black lion in pursuit, thwarting his attempts to summon help. Thinking he's a hacker, Oracle tracks him down, only for Jericho's powers to misfire and trap her in the system with him.

  • Most of the Titans readers and Titans fans on DCN were less than thrilled with Dolphin as a romantic lead for Tempest, which made the scenes where she is being a bitch to "King of the Woobies" Garth that much more vile, expecially concidering Tula's ghost was fettered to Garth and cannot do anything while she watches the man she loves get abused for YEARS. Finally, the odds get evened, Tula and Dolphin are, due to story events, on the astral plane, fighting. Tula proceeds to take out much pent-up frustration on Dolphin's person with extreme prejudice.
