I like how this directly follows New Teen Titans. The art is pretty good, and the characters are good so far. One issue I do have is the fact that the Titans are watching over the Teen Titans. I get they want to protect them, but the New Teen Titans had none of that, they were left to their own for the most part. There were a few were the League helped them, but that was it. It is also true, though, that these Teen Titans are a bit younger than the New Titans. We'll see how that changes througho...

I loved A Kid's Game! Who knew the Teen Titans were so cool?Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg have decided to mentor and train the next generation of Titans, but of course, it's not quite that simple. Not only are they faced with a crazy villain from their past, but some of the new recruits are less than enthusiastic about being there and/or following their rules. Add that to the fact that not all of their previous mentors are ready to cut the cord, and you have the makings of an excellent start t...

Well this was pretty dang good, but that's what I expected. This deals with the fallout after both Young Justice and The Titans series come to their end. The older titans move on to become outsiders, which I reviewed in another series, and really enjoyed most of it. This deals with mostly the Young Justice kids becoming Teen Titans. Tim, Wonder Girl, Superboy, Impulse (Who becomes kid flash), and Beast boy all join together along with Cyborg and Starfire as their teacher. However, when Deathstro...

This was so good!It starts with Cyborg recruiting this new team of heroes including Tim, Conner, Cassie and Bart and we follow their present status quo and whatever is happening and then their individual struggles after what happened to Donna and then their battles with villains old and new like Jericho whose in Deathstroke's body and finally things with Beast Boy and Starfire. There is foreshadowing of things to come with Raven and thats big. The struggles of Conner and his secrets and the comi...

Edith Hamilton's classic book and Harry Hamlin's hairy chest ignited my passion for mythology. Joseph Campbell, Alan Moore, Tim Burton, and JJ Abrams keep tending the fire.Mythology often gets a bum rap in today's rational approach to understand the world. It is often seen as contradictory to reason rather than as a creative supplemental. Case in point: I know that Perseus defeated the Gorgon with a shield, and I also know that he defeated Medusa by relying on the faculties and talents he had be...

I would rate this 4 stars if there was more heart and humor. That's what I enjoyed about Marv Wolfman's early 80s New Teen Titans: it was a balance of action, humor, in-fighting, and villainy that tested and refined their abilities. But here the new Titans are kind of bitchy, angsty, arrogant teens, and they pay for their folly. With more sarcasm than heart or humor, it sort of bums me out, disallows me to care for them. Even the old Titans (apart from Garfield, one of the funnier characters) ar...

I remember reading this trade when it was first released, and I really liked it at the time. I really like it now, too, though it does kind of bother me that I don't really know what happened at the end of Young Justice. This is, of course, entirely my own fault for not having read Young Justice. I will fix this. Back to the topic at hand: I love Teen Titans as a concept, and I love many of the characters that end up in the roster. I'm especially attached to a Robin-Starfire-Beast Boy-Cyborg-Rav...

OKAY FIRST OF ALL I'M PISSED. This is a 5 star novel with a 4 star rating (temporarily, of course) because I'M PISSED OFF. AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PLOT OR THE SETTING OR THE CHARACTERS. IT HAS TO DO WITH MY FREAKING PET PEEVE OF THE KIND OF PAPER IT'S PRINTED ON. The reason I buy graphic novels and not comics is because I have a vendetta against the kind of paper that is all rough and it doesn't read as well as the glossy paper like the ones in say Batman and Robin, Vol. 1: Born to Kil...

I read this when I was 12 but bought the copy of this recently. The art is wonderful and I cannot wait to get the rest of the series. :)

In 2003, the Titans were floundering. After the New Teen Titans finally fizzled out with a cast of DC's newer heroes, Dan Jurgens unsuccessfully tried to introduce a totally new cast, then Devin Grayson tried to return to the heights of Marv Wolfman's Titans without introducing much innovative to the mix.Enter Geoff Johns' v3. He saw better than anyone else how Marv Wolfman had reinvented the Titans and was able to do something similar for a new era. He largely built his cast around PAD's Young

I reviewed Teen Titans, Vol. 1: A Kid's Game as part of my Throwback Thursday series where I republish old reviews, re-review books I've read before or review older books I have only just had a chance to read.Ever since I mentioned Geoff Johns’ 2003 Teen Titans series in one of my Top Ten lists last week, I have wanted to revisit the series. I have always loved this run of Teen Titans the most. Something about the combination of storylines, characters and this version of the artwork always spoke...

Teen Titans as a concept is solid – a younger group of superheroes, a different perspective from the triumvirate of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman and their contemporaries, and different challenges for them to overcome. Despite this, this volume did not connect with me and I found myself only finishing it due to how easy it was to read.I will admit to being more a Marvel than a DC fan, and perhaps this explains some of my ignorance about the (necessary) backstory into this volume. Some of the...

A good volume of the Titans, reminding me at least a little of the Wolfman/Perez run.We get to see a new team launched, and all of the problems that come with it. Deathstroke shows up although all is not what it seems. We even get to see the Titans throwdown with the Justice League. The Mike McKone art is nice as well. Overall it's a strong volume introducing a new team of Titans. Not on the level of the Titan classic stories, but much better than when the series was in decline.

This was great. Not just because of the nostalgia I felt upon opening the book but the fact that my emotions got a hard kick from remembering what happened. How this came to be. I truly love the way that Superman and Superboy were talking together in this. Though the ending however can be a shocker to those who didn't know. So much to let your mind contemplate as you read.

I typically don't like Geoff Johns too much, but this series is surprisingly well-done, both the writing and the art. (It still stands strong after a decade-later re-read.)

4/01/22 Found this at a used bookstore a few days ago and knew I had to snatch it up. This has always been my favorite teen Titans era (and this entire 100 issue run is probably my favorite DC series of all time). I had a blast re-reading this, I love these idiots.

The first in the new series of the good but rather normal story telling of the teen Titans and how much they came to be. Friends like these kids really don't know how much they should get together and just let loose and enjoy it while they can. The art is pretty good but still average comic book fair and I enjoyed it but wanted more than just the same old stuff.Ilu eh

I have always enjoyed the Teen Titans roster but never really gave their storyline much of a chance. For the start of a new run for me (granted this title has been out for a long time), I was happy to see characters that were familiar to me. The art is good but nothing over the top and the story line was fun but didn't carry much depth. That being said, I was surprised by the amount of violence (this being a DC title) and bloodshed. I will continue to keep reading John's run on Teen Titans, at l...

Ok so I was a little leary to start reading these. I saw Starfire (the yellow chick with the metal thong) and though come on..... What woman in her right mind would wear that it looks too uncomfortable. But then I started to read these and I really got into them. It was a wonderful escape for me. The idea of the sidekicks creating their own world and support system was great. I had not read that much about the superhero's at this point and it was an easy place to jump in and really get into thei...

The series was the introductory of the new batch of Teen Titans! It is a mix of Young Justice and the old Teen Titans. We see old mentors warring with the new and the young heroes just wanting to have a little freedom! Overall, a good first series that sets up mini plot lines that are sure to excite!
