Teen Titans Go! - Continuity With The Animated Series

Continuity With The Animated Series

While the comic's stories stand independently, its issues are done so as not to contradict events established in the animated series' episodes. Often, Teen Titans Go! also references episodes of the show, as well as expanding on parts of the series.

• In #5, Raven has a zit which turns out to be Trigon who is easily defeated but in the series, it took longer.
• Issues #11 and #12 occur during Terra's time with the group, expanding on a flashback from "Aftershock Part 2."
• In #26 and #40, the issues shows Jinx's time with both HIVE Five teams. Another instance is with Wonder Girl's appearance in the comics. Her appearance will refer to cameos that she made in Season 5 of the show.
• Terra, or a schoolgirl who looks exactly like her, appears in a cameo in #34; her backstory and that of her brother Geo-Force is explored in #51. She also makes a cameo in #39 as a doll (T costume) and in a joke as the schoolgirl.
• In many issues the writers have placed the goth boy from the dance club that talked with Raven in the episode "Sisters."
  • Although in issue # 16 ("Beauty and The Wildebeest") a chibi version of Goth (shown selling Chibi Raven candles from a store named DV8 as a parody of the word deviate) is shown with no eyebrows and long eyelashes on the left eye only (a possible A Clockwork Orange reference).
  • Issue #19 as the drummer of Johnny Rancid's band. His official name is never actually stated but he is referred to as Goth by most fans. In issue #19 he wears a shirt with the word "GOTH" printed on it.
  • In issue #42 it is revealed that he works in an arcade, where wears a name tag marked "GOTH BOY." It's not clear whether that is his real name, with "Goth" being his first name and "Boy" as his last name, or if it is merely his nickname. In Teen Titans Go! his design has been changed: he no longer has elongated eyelashes on his left eye like he did in the cartoon; he has regular eyelashes. He also has thick eyebrows as opposed to no eyebrows as seen in the show. He also has thicker hair with hair on the sides and grayish purple eyes. In issue #42 when Raven's emoticlones run loose on the city the purple emoticlone which represents love/lust flirts with Goth while he is working at the arcade, embarrassing him in front of the other "cast members."

Also, Torres mentions in the letter pages of #34 that not all stories will be set in the present time. Some will even be placed during season 1. An example of this is the first story in #40, which shows Jinx as part of the HIVE.
