From Publishers Weekly

Long ago, Raven, the daughter of a demon ruler and an Earth woman, entered the lives of the supergroup Teen Titans, and her arrival almost signaled the end of the world. Years later, she's returned, and a new group of Teen Titans must save the world, but it might cost them Raven's life. Brother Blood, the latest in a line of would-be world conquerors, has captured Raven and plans on unleashing destructive demonic powers through her. As if that isn't enough trouble, another Titans foe, Deathstroke, and his daughter, Ravanger (a former Titan turned villain), want Raven dead for reasons of their own and don't care who gets in their way. The Titans must save Raven, defeat Brother Blood and his cult of followers and outwit Deathstroke, and Ravanger. The book contains nonstop action, adventure and surprises from page one, as well as a formidable task for the team. Characters act in surprising ways, a trademark of this series since the beginning. The Titans have always been about family, and this breakneck adventure showcases the lengths these heroes are willing to go in order to protect their loved ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sins of the father, October 23, 2005

This review is from: Teen Titans Vol. 2: Family Lost (Paperback)

The second arc in Geoff Johns' re-launch of the Teen Titans finds the team facing off against Deathstroke again, only this time he has help. Former Titan and daughter of Deathstroke Rose has become the new Ravager, and they get thrown into the mix when the Titans later race against time to save Raven from the evil Brother Blood. While there is solid action throughout and the story gets off to a kicking start, the two characters that we're supposed to feel sorry for, Raven and Rose, don't leave the reader feeling any real sympathies for. Both are on paths that aren't entirely in their control (thanks to their respective fathers), and it's only Rose that we feel anything for, and that doesn't happen until this TPB's last page. Despite that, A Family Lost is still a solid and enjoyable Titans story, and the art by Mike McKone and co. continues to be nothing but solid as well. All in all, if you enjoyed A Kid's Game, you'll probably enjoy this as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Teen-er-ific!, August 16, 2005

I must say that I did not expect much from this book when I bought it but was pleasently surprised to find out that I had not wasted my money. The art work is superb! I love it! And the story is pretty intesting too.

If you've seen the series on TV and think that this is just some lame comicbook version you're wrong. This is quite different from the series. It a more adult version (obviously if you look at StarFire's costume that's pretty clear).

I am a Teen Titans junkie but I was missing this book in my collection. It took forever to find it online at a reasonable price. I was super excited to buy it and read it, though. It is an awesome part of my collection.
