Fan favorite writer Geoff Johns (Flash, JSA, Green Lantern: Rebirth) re-launches the once popular Teen Titans for a new era, and it works. Just to let you know, if you are familiar with the "Teen Titans Go!" animated kids show, this is far from that, as Johns pays wonderful homage to the classic old Teen Titans series from Marv Wolfman and George Perez as a new team is formed, and things don't go as well for these kids as one would hope. Old members Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy organize this new group, which now includes Robin (Tim Drake), Superboy (the half-human clone of Superman), a new Wonder Girl, Kid Flash (formerly Impulse), and later joined by the re-incarnated original member Raven (who actually joins later in the series). As the kids struggle with themselves and their new surroundings, an old foe re-surfaces as Deathstroke returns with a simple and bloody message: "kid's shouldn't wear costumes". Johns knows what he's doing here, crafting a surprisingly solid story that is easy for new readers who aren't familiar with past Teen Titans continuity to get into, while the art by Mike McKone and co. is wonderfully illustrated. It's certainly not a comic masterpiece, but this first volume in the re-launched Teen Titans is fun, full of action, and definitely worth picking up for fans new and old.

I loved the Wolfman/Perez Titans and there is really no way that another group can replace them in my heart. This new Titans though is quite impressive.
Both the story and artwork are strong. The art in the comics medium continues to improve with each generation to the point where pencils, inks and colors are almost always technically excellent.
The writer does a good job with both the reason for refounding the Titans and dealing with the new Titans. He very carefully walks the tightrope of portraying the teenagers accurately with angst, self-loathing and selfishness without making them unlikeable and turning off the reader.
Both the new Titans and the returning Titans, Starfire, Cyborg and Changeling are treated well and portrayed well. The plot is fairly reasonable, though I don't totally buy the villains actions it was logically defensible.
A very strong start to the new Titans.

Ok, so you didn't read the old "New Teen Titans". For once that doesn't matter much. This is a completely self-contained comic. It shares characters and some events from the past, but they keep you up to speed. The writing is really good...and not kiddy at all! Which is, if you've seen the show, a bit of a relief.
The feel of the comic is light hearted, but also has a sense of being a real hero-team comic. So it's a good read, and it's cheap, so ya might as well!
