review 1: I loved the Teen Titans cartoon series so I had been meaning to bone up on the stories that inspired that show. I must say I was...underwhelmed. I think it is more about my feelings toward comic books in general, not just this series but I just never felt as strong a connection to the characters on these pages as I did to the ones on the screen. Beast Boy is my favorite super hero. Ever. And after reading this series...I can't believe they kept him around. He was just plain annoying. They tried to make him the comic relief but he just ended up sounding like a jerk all the time. Then when the action would heat up...he was rarely involved. Raven was lame (we get it, she's mysterious). Cyborg started to feel like an insulting stereotype, as did Kid Flash. The alien (Starfire)... more was the one that felt most human...how about that?I only read this first volume so that might be my problem but in general, they weren't written as very believable people. They were just too...comic book-y. I guess my tastes are too "grown-up", shall we say, to fully appreciate the comics of 20 plus years ago. The writing is...well, typical 80's comic book writing. Great for that period, I suppose, but just doesn't feel natural. I think comics/graphic novels have gotten better in that way, making it feel less like a BAM-POW-Adam West kind of read. I may locate the next volume just to see if it improves.
review 2: As a life long comic book fan, I can honestly say this is some of the best superhero material I have ever read. All of the New Teen Titans are interesting and well characterized despite the occasionally over-written dialogue that was fairly standard at the time. This is a fabulous introduction to characters like Raven, Starfire and Cyborg, as well as a pivital turning point for characters like Dick Grayson and Wally West who would escape the shadows of their respective mentors and become far more interesting for it. Worth a read for any fan of DC. less
