Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up—Red Robin, Wonder Girl, Raven, Bunker, and Beast Boy are teenage superheroes who fight against the kind of enemies readers might expect—terrorists, robots, evil geniuses, and teens who want to use their own abilities for destructive purposes. But they also have other challenges that are affecting their lives. Wonder Girl discovers that she has a fan club of girls who dress like her and want to fight for vigilante justice, but they don't have superpowers, so she feels obligated to protect them. Plus, her mother comes to New York for a surprise visit, and the superheroine has to keep her from harm's way, too. Bunker is defensive about other people's homophobic attitudes, and his violent tirade is recorded and shared with the world. Raven just wants to be an ordinary girl sometimes but finds it difficult to remain incognito. And Red Robin is the only one in the group with no superpowers, and he has to rely on his wits to survive. Rocafort and Hepburn's artwork is colorful, imaginative, and dynamic, especially when illustrating fight scenes and the many entertaining forms that Beast Boy takes throughout the story. VERDICT An exciting volume about teen superheroes who work together to deal with life-or-death problems; a good choice for "Teen Titans" fans as well as readers who are new to the franchise.—Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library

Loads of Potential But Still A Work In Progress Here

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015

Yet another reboot of Teen Titans has arrived!

Our New 52 team is: Red Robin (leader?), Raven (magic), Beast Boy (comedic ability), Wonder Girl (the muscle), and Bunker (projectile thrower).

Our creative team on this new journey: writer Will Pfeifer and artist Kenneth Rocafort.

Our destination: exciting and fun superhero teen action!

My opinion after reading it: It isn’t the worst comic collection I’ve ever read, but definitely isn’t the best.

What I Liked!

1) No boring introductions. Nope, the creative team drops you right into the action, giving you tidbits of info on our heroes as we go along.

description

2) Art was above average. It definitely fit the characters and the tone that the creative team was trying to establish.

3) Other than him having the Union Jack tattooed on his chest and not ever wearing shirts, Manchester Black was a decent character, who could be turned into a better one.

4) Not very much teen angst. At least not in this collection. Personally, I can understand some angst, but teen superheroes should be spending most of their non-fighting time having fun: they are superheroes after all with all the perks that come with that.

5) A few of the old Titans are back. Having Robin, Raven, and Beast Boy around makes it the Titans to me. I’m old school, I guess.

description

What I Did Not Like!

1) The storyline was pretty standard. Bad guy shows up; superheroes go fight and beat him. Not too much depth in the narrative.

2) Not enough characterization with our heroes. I really only know everyone by their powers, because the writer never lets me get to know them outside of fighting.

3) It is hard to tell that these guys are teenagers. No teen-type stuff happening – at all. Hell, in Geoff Johns run on Teen Titans, I remember Robin, Superboy, and the other guys in the group “borrowing” the Batmobile and taking it for a drive. Now, that was normal teen stuff.

4) Camaraderie is missing. Maybe that will come later, but it was fairly non-existent here.

5) Fun is missing. Teen Titans has always been about equal doses of suspense, action, and fun. It is just another comic series if the fun is left out.
description

Teen Titans: Blinded by the Light isn’t a bad book, but like the man said, it hasn’t done enough to convince me to take it seriously. Sure, the story and characters definitely have potential, but the creative team is going to have to make these “Teen Titans” people we all want to read about.

I received this book from DC Comics in exchange for a fair and honest review. I’d like to inform everyone that the review you are about to read is my opinion alone.

An Improvement on Lobdell's Run

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2018

The DCYou era Teen Titans book picks up mostly where Scott Lobdell's awful New 52 run ended with the team in relative disarray. While Lobdell's character designs and team roster carry over, the book makes noticeable improvements to the characters and their arcs (Tim Drake isn't as aggressive, Raven is more of a team player, Beast Boy is green again). With a new meta human terrorist attacking the city and STAR Labs, the Titans are drawn into a web by Manchester Black (the psychic Superman villain who makes his New 52 era appearance as being a morally gray STAR labs chief). Thanks to Kenneth Rockafort's art and Will Pfeifer's serviceable story, this is a much more enjoyable read than the previous run (it also introduces Tanya Spears' Power Girl from the World's Finest New 52 series, a major step as she would become a huge part of the Deathstroke series in the Rebirth era).

Not terrible, but not great either

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016

Back in the 1980's the Teen Titans was my favorite DC title. It had it all, great storytelling, amazing art, well defined and interesting characters, and memorable villains. Simply put, I loved the adventures of Robin/Nightwing, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy. Well, Beast Boy, Raven, and a new version of Wonder Girl are back, along with some new teammates, in the latest incarnation of the Teen Titans.

I have to admit that this version of the Titans did little to spark my interest. There's really no sense of camaraderie that made the original group feel so real. Mostly, they just hit things a lot. Any superhero team could have been substituted and I wouldn't have noticed much of a difference. And there isn't a really great super villain like The Brotherhood of Evil or Raven's demonic father to start the first adventure with a bang. Instead we have a generic villain in the form of a robot created by S.T.A.R. Labs. And I could have done without Wonder Girl's following of wannabe vigilantes and Raven's Goth band devotees.

It's not that it's a terrible book--the art's okay--it's just not a good one. This group does little to live up to the Teen Titan name.

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2016

This was a little better than the previous series in that it didn't have that stupid plotline with Harrow where their capturing kids with powers to make them kill each other for no reason. Kenneth Rocafort's art is very good. There's no much of a plot, it's pretty much let's just go punch things. Manchester Black makes little sense in this book. He's an executive at S.T.A.R. labs with a British flag tattooed on his chest. That's just stupid. They've also taken Ladytron from WildC.A.T.S and turned her into a living computer program named Algorithm. Not only dumb but why not just create a new character if you're not going to use anything of the old character anyway. Teen Titans has not been able to find its footings since Geoff Johns wrote it years ago. It needs to go back to its foundations and have the characters be the sidekicks of existing heroes who wanted to get together and hang out who then became something of a family.

Great Art, Decent Story but could do with a bit more Raven ... (biased?)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

Having a love for Raven I've always been drawn to the Teen Titans, so when I heard (and slightly read) how disappointing the original New 52 run was, I didn't have high hopes for this incarnation.

I was proved wrong.

Although not as thoroughly fleshed out yet, each character is great and the story arcs are interesting and engaging. I adore Kenneth Rocafort's art style (although two issues are done by a different artist - Scott Hepburn - who is good but i'm less fond of) and he did a great job with the characters, especially Raven! I personally don't hate her new outfit and his art style compliments it so well. The other characters are done well also, beast boy and bunker are funny and lovable, red robin is the level headed leader and wonder girl is strong willed with a lot of trust in her team-mates. The addition of the new power girl in the last few issues collected here is also interesting and i'm excited to see where they take the character.

Cannot wait for the next TP to come out, and I recommend for beginners and hopefully old fans won't turn their noses up without giving it a shot.

It is a pity that writers have not been able to recreate the great atmosphere and stories of the Wolfman-Pérez era

Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2018

This whole volume can be forgotten and has no relevance for the Teen Titans. It is a pity that writers have not been able to recreate the great atmosphere and stories of the Wolfman-Pérez era.
The only positive thing about this book are the issues pencilled by Kenneth Rocafort and his incredible drawings!

Be wary this comic book might have an agenda

Reviewed in Canada on August 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

I read it and liked it but there was a cringe factor of this one panel that wondergirl might have a following of feminists. Also beast boy goes grumpy cat. So hope doesn't go to an agenda to have a stable story like when comics do uncomfortable sex for the gimmick of sex appeal.

Titans got better.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

Definite improvement here even though it is basically laying the groundwork for this new series. Nice artwork, mostly by Rocafort and the two fill-ins, if not as good, are tonally similar.

The clutter of the older series has been cleared away and it looks like the Titans are going into partnership with S.T.A.R. Labs, manipulated into it by the new Manchester Black who is either a villainous-ish hero or a villainous villain. New team member is the new Power Girl, a promising character given her powers and authority to use the name by the original PG who is now back on Earth 2. Wonder Girl, who has a bunch of WG wannabees following her around, finds her mother back in her life with hints of lots of secrets to their relationship.

It's not perfect but I enjoyed it more than previous revival and think it's got lots of potential. Worth a try.
