This team has no dynamic at all. And they should!!! I mean, when you look at them as individual personalities, there is plenty to build relationships around: Superboy's a noob who doesn't really care about the consequences of his hasty actions, Bunker is gay with a serious attitude towards authority, Kid Flash is hiding a mysterious future/past, Cassie hates everyone, Robin wants to lead but lacks confidence and compassion.... Put all of this together into a boiling pot, and you should get a rat...

Good story. Can't wait to find out what happens next for the Teen Titans.

(C+) 66% | Almost SatisfactoryNotes: Slapdash and scattershot, it’s a piddling patchwork of partial plots, perniciously pointless, and palatable by art alone.

I am thoroughly enjoying this series, mostly because the writers do an excellent job of making such fun, engaging characters. I didn't like this one quite as much as the first--probably because there seems to be a separate graphic novel detailing the action of The Culling and this one just showed the tail end of it and its aftermath--but I still really, really liked this book. As I said before, it's been a while since I came across something that I just DID NOT WANT TO PUT DOWN. And, as I said p...

More like 2.5 Stars.Best line in the book is Kid Flash describing Teryx, one of the Dino-Teens:"Wow, he's cool in that kind of we-have-to-cast-an-australian-actor-because-american-twentysomethings-are-all-metrosexual-pantywaists way."But that storyline with the Dino-Teens is never really resolved. If anything, it's completely dropped in favor of Cassie's (aka Wonder-Girl) "origin" and subsequent coming-to-terms-with-your-demons plotline. I don't know, this whole book was a lot lamer than I expec...

What an unfortunate turn after the promising start of volume one. If they had actually done what they said in the premise, this would have been an awesome step. Instead they decided to skip over most of the events, only showcasing the final battle with Harvest. Possibly this intersects with another series that we are not told about, but either way this leaves us struggling to catch up. Not only that, but issues leap from character to character, with little care for continuity or a linear narrati...

I.....don't even know what to do with this one. Confusing as all get out, and impossible to understand without reading every single issue about all the individual characters involved, this gives Graphic Novels a bad name. The collection wasn't a collection as much as an abstract collage of a few issues tossed in here, and a few more tossed in there. Just to mix it up. Thanks God for the DC Wiki. The dialogue was usually really rocky and confusing (keeping up with the current theme), and the char...

After i finished the book i painted my wall and watched it getting dry. Honestly it was more fun

Ugh. One of the worst of the New 52 actually managed to get worse!We start off with a couple of crossover issues from The Culling that make almost no sense because DC seems to have lost the ability to sensibly deal with crossovers in New 52 collections. So we just get some bits and pieces. Worse, this all causes the NOWHERE story line that leads off Teen Titans to anticlimax, since we don't really get a sensible ending.Then we get a kind of fun (but shallow) dinosaur island storyline.It's follow...

Is it just me or are a lot of comics written really poorly?This is another example of terrible writing and bad dialogue. The story has poor continuity as it jumps around between chapters. The characters motivations are hard to understand and then they get saved by someone’s super move from what seems like a dire situation turning it into a non-issue. Perhaps there was meant to be other books I’m meant to read for it to make sense.

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.I started reading this series because of the old Teen Titans cartoon series on Cartoon Network. I watched the DVDs over and over when I was little. My parents have lots of pics of me running around the house in my Robin costume. I still can sing the theme song. And this Teen Titans series has made made me start remembering how much I use to like the Titans.Things here aren’t really like the old cartoon though: this team is new and improved. That is good, but I

I've read a lot of complaints about this run. I've even heard from more than one source that one must "avoid reading this at all costs", but I just don't understand that sentiment.Full disclosure, I'm reading this after DC's Rebirth event has begun, so I know a bit more about what's happened and where it's going. But aside from "it isn't my Teen Titans" what is the real issue with these stories?Yes, this is a re-imagining of the characters and team. Heck, to this point we don't even have Titan T...

I really liked the Teen Titans at first, because it reminded me of Young Justice which had worked so well as a tv series but this went off the rails like seven issues in and there were suddenly like fifty characters, it didn't make sense unless you'd read their individual publications (never a good move) and it was hard to follow.

Nope, I'm out!This issue was complete BS, from front till back, don't even know where to begin my review!Okay, let's try:- The "culling": we got the beginning and the ending in here.. way to go, Lobdell.. Okay, normally I'm like the "tie in guy", but I've had it... Just give it to me straight and stop jumping... Very annoying (especially when you don't have those issues!)- complete lack of direction: what the hell is the point in this issue? There's nothing being built - no story, no drama, no n...

2.5 stars. What the hell was that? That's not how you comic, DC. I've read New 52 cross-overs that worked really well, so I don't understand how this volume failed so epicly. It was all going well up until the Culling...which is what this volume is titled. We were given a vague, two sentence summary of what was going on but weren't given any of the action. Why title this volume "The Culling" when we got...maybe 3 pages of it? Sure, if I read the individual issues as they came out I'm sure it wou...

I haven't decided yet if I'm going to rant about how stupid this is, or if I'm just going to walk away shaking my head in disgust.Either way; this IS the worst thing I've read all year.Disjointed, lack of continuity (I'm sure someone at DC would inform me I need to read X Y and Z to better comprehend what's going on...no I don't; it's shit.) The cover looks like a bunch of TRON rejects, and it doesn't get much better from there. "The Culling" eh?: "Culling is the process of removing or setting a...

I have to say that this volume was a bit of a letdown after how great the first book was. Part of that has to do with the fact that if you haven't read the other books that crossover with Teen Titans in the Culling storyline, you don't get the whole picture of what happened. Superboy and Legion Lost are two of those books that are in The Culling story, but I think that there is another book in there too. Aside from the fact that the first two issues are part of a crossover, I thought that the re...

I'm ignoring issues 8-9 in this review because they're related to The Culling, and make no sense on their own, yet DC collected them here anyway.The rest of this volume is a mixed bag, with some good issues like issue #10, and some poor ones like issues #13-14. It all rings of poor plotting and no real aim for the story, especially in the wake of The Culling. Fabian Nicieza's scripting in later issues helps, but this is all mostly just mediocre storywise.The art is almost always good, with Brett...

I don't know if this comic was really that confusing, or I'm just really having that hard a time concentrating lately! I couldn't keep track of all the characters and remember which ones were which.

Way way way too disjointed. We miss the whole fight with whatever his name is- the leader of NOWHERE- and the whole Culling process, and Legion Lost is just dropped right in with no introduction or anything.... Of course, It's probably a whole "Oh read Super Boy and legion Lost comics" BUT honestly, I don't want to get into all 52 of the comics, especially when I only read series for certain characters. If you can make me care about the other charcters, then OK, maybe I can get in to their stori...
