From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. Comfortable imagining both character profiles or action scenes, Johns has written many of DC's flagship titles as well as its Infinite Crisis series, and this collection is a prime example of his talent. The Titans pop into their own future and contend with their dark, fascistic, older selves, returning home just in time for Robin to come to terms with his father's death--which leads into a massive free-for-all against the vengeance-crazed Doctor Light. Fast-paced, cinematic action along with simple, insightful dialogue illuminate the characters and keep the excitement high throughout; no character seems trivial, and the reader always knows what's at stake. Despite an ensemble of artists, the slick, unified flow of the illustrations puts this title in the top rank of superhero comics, and the characters' struggles to cope with restlessness, uncertainty, and the pressures of living up to a role model will strike a chord of recognition, even among readers who aren't usually comics fans.
