Okay, internet. It’s time to start your speculating: If Gail Simone is going to write a new team book for DC, who is it going to feature? We already have both Teen Titans and Legion of Super-Heroes titles, the two classic “teen teams” for DC, so it’s more than likely going to be a new title – or, perhaps, a new usage for an old title – unless Gail’s going to use something from out of left-field (Newsboy Legion? Young Heroes In Love? The Ravers? Hey, there isn’t an actual Young Justice book running in the DCU these days…). We’re still lacking an Outsiders title in the new 52iverse, and we have all manner of characters who could fill it these days (Wally West! Donna Troy! Stephanie Brown! And so on!).
But there’s a really, really obvious possibility for a teen team for Gail to write in the New 52 that might not spring immediately to mind… One, in fact, that she’s written before: Gen 13. We know, after all, Caitlin Fairchild is a supporting character in Superboy and Teen Titans, with those books hinting that there’s more to her than meets the eye, so what’s to stop there being a spin-off title with her discovering her powers and running off to form her own superhero team?
Despite Gail’s con appearance tease, there’s been no official confirmation from DC, nor scheduling information. So, in other words, don’t expect a final answer on this anytime soon.

Gen13 would definitely be a great title to be revived. All digits crossed for this to happen!!!

Gen 13 would be cool espically if gets Fairchild away from being pretty much in a villain in Superboy and Teen Titans. Yeah that is stupid!
