The New Titans #130

The New Titans #130, published in February 1996, arrived during the final year of the original New Titans series following the monumental Zero Hour crossover event. This era of the title was defined by a rotating creative team as DC Comics looked to refresh the long-running team dynamic, moving toward a more mature and somewhat darker narrative tone that reflected the comic industry trends of the mid-1990s.

The issue features work by writer Marv Wolfman, a foundational architect of the team's modern identity, alongside artists including Bill Jaaska. The cover and interior art reflect the stylistic sensibilities of the period, characterized by more kinetic, aggressive character designs and intricate panel layouts. While the series was nearing its conclusion at this time, the issue serves as a snapshot of the evolution of the team's roster and the transitional state of DC's landscape just before the title eventually gave way to subsequent relaunches.
