Wally West fans were delighted to read "The Flash: Rebirth" #1, as its story picked up right where "DC Universe: Rebirth" #1 left off for the finally-returning character. Those fans will definitely want to buy "Titans: Rebirth" #1 as well, as it continues to follow Wally's new trajectory even as we also find out what's next for the classic team after "Titans Hunt" #8's grand finale.

If you thought the surprises and revelations were set to slow down as DC went into Rebirth's second lap, think again. In this issue, Wally West not only gets reacquainted with some of his old teammates, we also learn updated memories and status quos for five Titans members as Wally's touch sparks what was erased from their minds when the New 52 arrived.

Arsenal



Roy Harper's time as Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy is made fully explicit here. In doing so, it helps lock in the idea that this is more than just memories being uncovered for these other characters. We'd known that Wally West was a refugee from the post-Crisis DC Universe (which this universe's new Superman also hails from), but the dividing line between those two universes seemed concrete. Now, the barriers are starting to blur; there's no way for Arsenal to have been Green Arrow's sidekick in this universe, to say nothing of Wally working with Barry Allen. It's almost as if rather than regaining suppressed memories, this universe's Arsenal has been instantly replaced with that of the previous universe when he and Wally touched.

Omen



Lilith's time with Wally is also revealed in "Titans: Rebirth" #1, although in this case it doesn't click into place in the previous universe's continuity. Lilith Clay's new history includes having at least a brief romantic interlude with Wally West, with Wally serving as a voice of comfort when Lilith's powers were running out of control. Considering that Lilith's past romantic affiliation was with Gnarrk -- who is curiously the only Titan from the final diner scene in "Titans Hunt" #8 not represented in "Titans: Rebirth" #1 -- this is a major change from any previous interpretation of Omen.

Donna Troy



Considering that almost all of Donna Troy's appearances in the current continuity were drenched in a grim mood (Meredith Finch & David Finch's "Wonder Woman" run), the fact that Wally's touch opens up memories of Wally and Donna playing a prank together is a refreshing sign. That said, Abnett is clearly playing with the fact that we have two very different histories for the character. In "Titans Hunt," Donna makes reference to her "Wonder Woman" origin as having been recently created by anti-Wonder Woman Amazons, and then later transformed into Fate. Both "Titans Hunt" and now "Titans: Rebirth" #1 are also juggling the idea that she was at one point Wonder Girl, even as this latest flashback also strongly hints that she is still an Amazon.

Nightwing & Tempest



Nightwing and Tempest are the characters whose origins are the most untouched. The glimpses we get of their past involve the friendship between Wally and Dick in taking the Batmobile for a joy ride, while Wally and Garth's flashback has Kid Flash reminding a departing Aqualad that the Titans will always welcome his presence. These scenes help establish Wally as very much a part of the Titans "family," and the glue holding them together. It's apt that Wally's return coincides with the rest of the team finally regaining their memories.

Titans Reunited



The final page of "Titans Hunt" #8 had the bulk of the original Titans team together, with Herald, Hawk and Dove having flown Bumblebee off to give birth to hers and Herald's baby. There still seems to be room for those four, plus the strangely-not-mentioned Gnarrk, to show up in "Titans" #1 at the end of July.

"Titans: Rebirth" #1 has quickly positioned "Titans" to be a core title for those interested in the mysteries introduced in "DC Universe: Rebirth" #1; perhaps a desire on DC's part to not reveal those secrets too quickly is why the book will only ship once a month unlike most of DC's new twice-monthly titles. "Titans: Rebirth" #1 gives us a love letter to "Teen Titans'" past glories alongside the mystery of how they fit into the new continuity, if at all. This doesn't look to be a mystery being easily solved, but these puzzle pieces promise to intrigue fans.
