Aborted Sequel
Despite the success of the project, The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans represented the last DC-Marvel intercompany crossover for over a decade. A planned "X-Men/Teen Titans" #2, by the Titans creative team of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, was scheduled for publication in Christmas 1983. X-Men writer Claremont, in fact, had shared details of future X-Men storylines with Wolfman, to facilitate Wolfman's writing of the script. Artist Pérez was also slated to draw the much-anticipated JLA/Avengers intercompany crossover, also due for publication in 1984, which was eventually scuttled due to editorial squabbling between the two companies. Continuing disagreements between Marvel and DC, and Pérez's anger over the demise of the JLA/Avengers book, resulted in the eventual cancellation of X-Men/Teen Titans #2 as well. (Unlike the JLA/Avengers book, a good portion of which had already been drawn by Pérez, no artwork was ever done on the The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans sequel.) It wasn't until 1994's Batman/Punisher: Lake of Fire that DC and Marvel joined forces again in a publishing venture.

Famous quotes containing the words aborted and/or sequel:
“During my administration the most unpleasant and perhaps most dramatic negotiations in which we participated were with the various leaders of Iran after the seizure of American hostages in November 1979. The Algerians were finally chosen as the only intermediaries who were considered trustworthy both by me and the Ayatollah Khomeini. After many aborted efforts, final success was achieved during my last few hours in the White House.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
