We're big fans of Supernatural here at CBM, so we definitely got a kick out of yesterday's issue of Teen Titans #40. In the issue from Adam Glass, Robbie Thompson, Eduardo Pansica, Julio Ferreira, Marcelo Maiolo, and Rob Leigh, we see Damian Wayne explain to his teammates that they're going to Hell, and Robin describes that as "a backdoor to Purgatory."
Roundhouse then drops a references to The CW's Supernatural, saying: "This is some straight-up Sam and Dean stuff." Another apparent nod to the long-running series comes when Damian talks about a Book of the Damned, the DC Universe version of that familiar totem from the show.
It's okay for Teen Titans to mention Supernatural like this because both The CW and DC Comics are owned by Warner Bros. Sam and Dean Wichester'sn adventures also played out in a short-lived comic book series from DC imprint Wildstorm in 2011 and 2012. It's surprising there haven't been more comics since then, especially as the TV show remains massively popular!
