I realized I haven't actually read much Teen Titans, other than when they cross over with other titles (example: Death in the Family). However, Red Robin plays a pretty big role in the Robin Wars (shocker), so I decided to look into his character a little more. I'm familiar with all the other former Robins (Jason is my favorite!), but Tim is the one I know the least.
Anyways, this title was actually pretty interesting. I would read more Teen Titans, but honestly, just for Red Robin, Beast Boy, and Bunker. Oh, and maybe Raven too. Now that I think about it, I like most of them, so maybe I will hunt down some more volumes.

Radically different than the Teen Titans I remember and loved, but still a fun and entertaining read, with many intriguing characters that are very interesting.

You know, Teen Titans was my favorite comic series growing up - I loved the show and the chemistry between the original team. And sadly, this one - it's just ruining my young-adulthood. I know it's a reboot or the new 52 whatever, and to keep up with the times, it's all tech-y and teenage-ry but bottom line - they are still teenagers. So when I first see the cover on the galley, and see Wonder Girl, a teenage girl, in a hyper-sexualized, totally non-practical costume, this comic lost my vote for the reboot right then and there. It's not limited to her, but it is glaringly in your face - a mockery of any progress made for female superheros in recent times. And while it does have good representation for POC (Power Girl) and LGBTQA (Bunker), I feel the latter's storylines revolves around being LGBTQA and his aggressiveness about it, which actually doesn't paint the community in a good light.
Aside from those problems, I guess the storyline was good - they were fighting a psuedo AI called Algorithmn, along with some side arcs like Power Girl and Raven having their own fan clubs; STAR labs being a nefarious organization (called it!) and Teen Titans actually living actual lives besides their superhero business - except for Red Robin (god knows what he does in free time). The artwork was also good; nice coloring and good attention to detailing. I would still, however, not pick up any further installments in this series.
Received a free galley from DC comics via Edelweiss; this does not influence my opinions or review.
