A [[San Diego Comic-Con International|Comic-Con]] announcement stated that Cyborg, Donna Troy and Starfire were leaving the team to pursue the JLA.

One of the new members included Carla Monetti a.k.a. Cinder, a young redheaded woman with the ability to manipulate fire. [[Osiris (DC Comics)|Osiris]], a member during the ''One Year Later'' gap, who had been brought back to life after the events of ''[[Blackest Night]]'', returned as a member. The final issue of the limited series, ''Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal'' ended with an advertisement stating that Arsenal's storyline would continue.

The team debuted in the one-shot issue ''Titans: Villains for Hire'', where they are hired to assassinate [[Atom (Ryan Choi)|Ryan Choi]] (the Atom) in his home in [[Ivy Town]]. The issue quickly became the subject of controversy due to Choi's violent death. Allegations of racial insensitivity dogged DC over the decision to kill off a relatively high-profile Asian character.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=26207 | title=Wallace Responds to Hero's Death in ''Titans: Villains for Hire'' | last=Renaud | first=Jeffrey | website=Comic Book Resources | date=May 13, 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110616233613/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=26207|archive-date=June 16, 2011 |access-date= April 28, 2012}}</ref>

Following the one-shot, in the team's inaugural storyline they were hired to assassinate [[Lex Luthor]] following the events of ''[[War of the Supermen]]''. This is revealed to be a ruse set up by Luthor and Deathstroke to draw out the real assassin, a shape-shifter named "Facade", who had apparently killed and impersonated a woman on Luthor's security detail.

Following several adventures, the Titans are confronted by [[Ray Palmer (comics)|Ray Palmer]] and the Justice League for their hand in Ryan's murder. The Titans are nearly defeated, but manage to escape thanks to an intervention from the newly resurrected [[Isis (DC Comics)|Isis]].<ref>{{cite comic| writer= [[Eric Wallace (comics)|Wallace, Eric]] | penciller= Richards, Cliff| inker= Richards, Cliff| story= The Methuselah Imperative Part 1 of 3| title= Titans Annual| issue= #1| date= September 2011}}</ref> Following the battle with the Justice League, ''Titans'' concluded with a two-part storyline which saw Jericho's return.
