I've only read the OG Outsiders where Batman went, "Screw the Justice League, I'll make my own superteam. With Blackjack, and hookers Black Lightning, and Looker" which is pretty good, and the one that ran concurrently as a pseudo Titans spin off which was also pretty good before EVENT CROSSOVERS fucked it and I dropped it. I've never read the 90s Outsiders because its a comic from the 90s.
I skimmed the Terririfics when it came out, but it seemed to be channelling OG Fantastic Four pretty hard (The two young guys constantly bickering, the stretchy guy, the ghost like girl, the freak of nature big hitter, the team leader being a brainiac inventor responsible for them coming together and researching the fix for it) which isn't really my kind of thing, but I might give it a second chance.
When I say Outsiders is Planetary though, it is mining those meta-beats pretty fucking hard; theres a batman issue which is reeeeeeeeal similar to the concept of the Supreme Supremacy, theres a voyage to Limbo which conceptually is similar to the Limbo from the G-Moz Animal Man run but in execution is very similar to Gail Simones Welcome To Tranquility, and there's a fucking perfect execution on how to race & gender swap an existing legacy character while respecting what came before and not coming across as tokenism for the sake of it.
Its pretty good. I'll be surprised if its not cancelled before issue 12.
