''The New Teen Titans'' was widely thought of as DC's answer to the increasingly popular ''[[Uncanny X-Men]]'' from [[Marvel Comics]], as both series featured all-new members and depicted young heroes from disparate backgrounds whose internal conflicts were as integral to the series as was their combat against villains. The two teams met in the 1982 [[Intercompany crossover|crossover]] one-shot entitled "Apokolips... Now", which teamed [[Darkseid]], Deathstroke and [[Dark Phoenix]] against both teams. The story was written by [[Chris Claremont]] and drawn by [[Walt Simonson]] and [[Terry Austin (comics)|Terry Austin]].<ref>Manning "1980s" in Dolan, p. 199: "The issue, written by longtime ''X-Men'' scribe Chris Claremont and drawn by Walter Simonson [was]...one of the most well-received crossovers of its time – or of any time for that matter – the team-up was a huge success."</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last = Brown|first = Jonathan|title = The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans: The Breakfast Club of the Comics Crossover|journal = Back Issue!|issue = #66|pages = 65–68|publisher = TwoMorrows Publishing|date = August 2013|location= Raleigh, North Carolina}}</ref>
