Plus I'm not sure, in retrospect, that Wolfman and Pérez had the H.I.V.E. completely thought out from the start. I would bet that they just wanted a mysterious villain organization and figured they'd fill in the "how" and "why" later on. By this point they may have realized the previous appearances didn't really add up to anything concrete, and this was the best they could come up with to tie it together.<br /><br />Crazy that Raven is gone for so long. She warrants a single page cameo in the big issue 50 and I think has one other appearance in the 51 - 58 run, and that's it. Of course, those issues were published concurrently with, and then after, NTT vol. 2's first arc, but still -- chronologically she's out of the picture for a long time!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-28023373118590895742015-04-28T17:32:45.021-07:002015-04-28T17:32:45.021-07:00I also don't like DeCarlo's inking job in ...I also don't like DeCarlo's inking job in this portion of the series. I suppose the creators were feeling burned out. Not only did Perez have this series to draw, but also the Baxter series' intro Trigon saga published around the same time, and CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS. And Wolfman also had to write the storylines that connected TotTT#50 with the Baxter series.<br /><br />Raven's backoff to Aqualad is always a memorable scene. I tend to imagine different characters reenacting that moment. This storyline also marks Raven's last adventure with the team before...you know. <br /><br />If they had a reference box for Jillian, they would probably mention her appearance all the way back to DOOM PATROL. angmc43@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379700547226493861noreply@blogger.com
