Ok the Technis Imperative is a good read. It's not a Grant Morrison story, but it is nevertheless a good read. The dialogues between the Titans and the JLA are great, and really bring out the fact that although both teams exist for the the benfit of the world, the Titans are more of a family type atmosphere. What is also great is that during the big fight scene Batman and Nightwing are having an argument about who is right in the middle of a battle. During the entire story neither throws a punch. You can also see just how much the mentors of the Titans care for their onetime sidekicks, and how grown up those same sidekicks have become. Overall a great story. Definitely worth your time and money.

We'll get the confusing part out of the way first: the desire to include every Titan that ever was, and everyone who ever helped them, got old. Even with the little "id" boxes, it got difficult to keep track of who was who, and the boxes themselves became intrusive after a while.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this book. I'm finding I like Devin Grayson's work a lot, oddly enough for some of the same reasons the other reviewers didn't like it. (BTW, it's Devin, not David. A girl writing comics. Imagine ;)).

As someone only recently getting into the Titans, I found this a good introduction. I liked the interplay of the various characters, both within their respective groups (JLA or Titans) and between mentors and proteges. Sure, there was a lot of talk (not, IMHO, a bad thing), but there was more than enough action to balance it.

The art was great, and the arrangement of panels and scenes interesting without being confusing.

Overall, I highly recommend it.

After reading some other reviews, I had to speak up. If you only enjoy big fight scenes with no characterization, then this is not the book for you. This is a great story, and features every Titan since the team was founded. You can tell a lot of work went into this story, and the author really cares for the characters.

Definitely a good read, and great artwork to compliment the story.

the art by phil jimenez, evocative of some of george perez's best work, is the highlight of this book. combined with an above average plot and excellent characterization (devin grayson's strong point), this book is a satisfying graphic novel. one of dc comics better selling mini series in 99.

talk, talk, talk, talk, talk? . I know the important of the plot , I don't care much usually about the writers , but those names David GRAYSON & Phill JIMENZ I'll remember , the whole story is about syburg rebuilding him self and sleep walking him self to earth capturing the moon and threatening every living thing on earth .

kidnapping the Titans (to keep them close to him as a family) they manage to wake up to realize what he is and ending up facing the JLA to defend their friend in a battle , which batman use for their advantage .

of course you can tell its a good story , but through out the story I couldn't find what I always wont in a comic , for all is so confusing , with wards flooding all over the story , like a long non imaginative novel , though the ending would please anyone a s syburg return to the titans in his new suit and freshen the Titans blood , you'll find that its the only lovely tale in the entire comic book.
