I loved seeing Raven and Gar together. Max and Damian are a great team. But something is off with Damian characterisation. Like, he’s Raven and Gar’s age… so what’s happening with his dad? I mean Bruce ain’t always the best father but come on, he still cares about him. And his brothers??? Even Dick??? Like idk. At least seems like he has a great relationship with his mom. And the romance between Max and Him??? No !

This was so extremely heterosexual when my love of teen titans is so very gay. Anyway, I enjoy how Picolo draws these characters so I will probably keep picking them up. It does make me roll my eyes a lot though.

This was a great culmination of the previous two graphic novels that lead into this story. Raven and Garfield end up meeting in Nashville and not realizing that they're looking for the same person. There are some good action sequences in this one, and Garfield and Raven have good chemistry with each other. It definitely made it fun to read!

I love this series. I love the art style, I love the way the story is building, I love the way Garcia and Picolo portray Beast Boy and Raven. It's just very fun all around. I also loved the introduction of Robin and the brief look at Starfire we see in this book (hopefully that means that Cyborg is just around the corner!). I also really like that Max gets to be an important part of this team too. I don't know if she is based on any comic book character or if she's new, but I really her and her relationship to the rest of the team.

No spoilers but this third installment in the Teen Titan's new graphic novel series adds some other team members into the mix, and I am LIVING for it. In fact, the supporting characters were the ones that shined for me in this sequel: the returning character of Raven's foster sister, Max, and one famous addition. The art is excellent, as always, and I love seeing my faves in this new reincarnation.
My only complaint stems from the fact that there was a lot of pressure for the romance to be excellent because it's a canon couple with a lot of hype (from me and from the fandom more broadly) that I carried with me into this read. Raven is one of my characters from any fandom, and not only the original material but also subsequent fan content makes this one of my top ships, as well. This story covers the first meeting of Raven & Gar, and it also tries to fit the start of their friendship and their romantic relationship into one small package. It didn't end up meeting my expectations on that front because the bar was so high. When things felt rushed and even forced to meet the end result, it was a bummer. Plus, there's a secondary romance competing for page space, to make things even more complicated.
I still look forward to the introduction of the full cast of characters (and then some). I need Teen Titan pizza and video game hangouts like I need air, so I can't wait to see them on the page. I'm also excited to see more of their powers in action, especially as a team. I still highly recommend the series. This just happens to be not my favorite of the volumes so far.
