review 1: This ranking is probably a little higher than it should be when the story is evaluated objectively. But, I think nostalgia affects my opinion a little bit here, as this is a fun read from the old Wolfman/Perez team. Not only are they one of my favorite creative teams, I have to be honest and I think Wolfman's writing block problems show a little bit in the story.What also shows is the fact that this book originally was started about 30 years ago, and various factors saw that it wasn't completed until recently. Add to that other factors led the team to make some story changes along the way when they got back to work on it. The story doesn't flow as smoothly as I think it should.It does make one wonder if this had happened in continuity as originally intended if I would ... morehave seen the monthly series differently. Danny Chase finally became a character that I could tolerate here. Raven was mildly interesting, and Victor Stone remains one of my favorite characters from that time period.The story is set in the 1980s, and a man known as the Gamemaster was employed by the engorgement to develop various doomsday scenarios. Now he has left the government, found independent contractors, and is trying to bring those acts to real life.Some small plot twists, one that I did see, but again a fun but not great read.
review 2: This book was STUNNING!!! And it should be, since it took twenty years to get published. This graphic novel drives home how incredible the original series was and how defining it was to the comics medium and 80's comics especially. In the company of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, et. al. this series took the teenaged sidekicks of the DCU and not only made an engaging series out of their exploits, but made a series whose plot lines blew their adult counterparts' plots out of the water!!! "The New Teen Titans: Games" does this once again, and what's more it creates a jaw dropping plot that is completely self-contained. Except for the main characters and one other guest star, all the villains and background characters are unique creations. And yet, with villains and background characters we have never met and don't know the histories of, this graphic novel of less than two hundred pages made a resonant, relevant plot soar miles above anything else currently going on. Truly one of the best graphic novels I have read in the past several years. Hands DOWN!!! less
