The New Teen Titans, Volume 2 is an American comic book series of the superhero fantasy genre published by DC Comics. The series began publication in August of 1984 and ran concurrently with The New Teen Titans, Volume 1, which had changed its title to Tales of the Teen Titans. Although the two titles were published simultanously, The New Teen Titans, Volume 2 took place some six months after the events chronicled in volume 1. In the early run of the series, it was not uncommon to see characters refer to events in the past tense, even though such events had not yet taken place in volume 1. Midway through its run, the editors realized that almost none of the feature characters were teenagers any longer. In order to correct the series' misnomer, the title was changed to the New Titans with issue #50. New Titans continued publication until February of 1996 ending with issue #130.
