Tony Daniel Named Titans Artist

It's been almost a year since Mike McKone announced he was leaving Teen Titans. After some fill-ins, guessing and creative shuffling it's finally official: Tony Daniel has been named regular artist on Teen Titans.

This news has been confirmed by Geoff Johns on a recent message board post, which also gives a sneak peek of Tony's art.

Tony also confirmed the news on his blog: "Okay, the cat's REALLY out of the bag now. Yes. I'm the new ongoing artist for Teen Titans! Whew! I can finally say that out loud. But with March 06 solicits out, the news isn't really secret anymore. The official announcment is in next week's Wizard, but I might as well fess up."

Tony added some info about the mysterious cover for March: "Couple things about this cover. One - this image is done in pencil because we didn't have time to get it inked before the solicits deadline. I had to wait on Robin's final costume so it pushed me to the wire. Two - Can you guess who the other four characters are behind Robin? New book colorists Tanya and Richard Horie, did an excellent job disguising their outlines. The final cover has a very detailed background with more titans to be found. But it also had to be obscured because of the spoilers it contained."
