4.0 out of 5 stars Volume 8: a pretty good installment., February 4, 2009

This review is from: Teen Titans: Titans of Tomorrow (Paperback)

This trade marks the transition from Geoff Johns to Sean McKeever as mainstay authors of 'Teen Titans' (I'll add that I much prefer McKeever, as well as the new Titans lineup, which includes Miss Martian, Kid Devil, Ravager, Blue Beetle, Robin... and that one we all love to hate, Wonder Girl). It starts off with a memorial to Bart Allen (Kid Flash), who has apparently died. Here we get an all-star treatment of the character, with tribute segments by Geoff Johns/Mike McKone (the original team behind the Titans relaunch) and Wolfman/Perez (the heroes of the 80's 'New Teen Titans' classics). These bits were pretty nice, throwing in a bit of old and new (and even a strange 'Tiny Titans' cameo), as well as an excruciatingly embarrassing Miss Martian faux pas.

From there, the proper 'Titans of Tomorrow' story takes place, which essentially serves as a sequel to volume 4 of the series, 'The Future is Now'. The story was a bit patchy, but it was cool seeing how they resolved the future that was shown in volume 4 with the post-Infinite Crisis deaths, as well as the future versions of the new Titans such as Kid Devil.

So overall, a nice installment, though not quite as good as the next book, volume 9 'On The Clock'. Further, if you're wondering what happened to Jericho, who went through so much at the end of the preceding volume 7, as well as the rest of the original Titans who were slowly phased out of this series, you might want to pick up Judd Winick's awesome 'Titans: Old Friends', which resolves all those issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars TITANS OF TOMORROW, April 20, 2011

Indeed I had a huge surprise when I start reading Teen Titans books. The stories are amazing, and this one didn't stay behind.

I like the homage they made for Kid Flash at the begining and the different art they put in the flashbacks.

In general I like the book a whole bunch, but I took one star out (and I was thinking in getting 2 out) because of the end. The two last pages told me something that, as far as I can tell, it won't be used, and if is used at some point... well.... (POTENTIAL SPOILER AHEAD!) I just don't see Tim Drake doing a "bad for good" thing.

Outer than that the book is fun and the price is right. I liked it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still love this title, February 4, 2009

I'm loving this run of the Teen Titans! It may sound weird, but this has become one of the few new titles I will continue to buy. I just love the character interactions. There are great tributes to all other titan incarnations. And I don't know what else... can a comic be charismatic? In any case there is an appeal to this book that I can't quite explain. It may be because this stays true to my idea of a superhero book. It also reminds me of the old Spiderman books and Stan Lee's concept of big heroes with real world problems in their personal lives (I know, I know this is a DC book, but still). Only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is my guys are starting to get sucked into the convoluted crossover world of the DC multiverse. I mean it's nice to know my titans are an active part of their world and not taped off in some pocket dimension, but you may start to feel like you missed something in a few parts if you are not keeping up with the money pit of tie-ins... but still my fave book!
