SO GOOD. Loved the art and the storyline. Absolutely adored Max!! Definitely my fave character aside from Raven. So much great representation in this too!! It had Black, Disability (wheelchair, crutches), Muslim - Hijabi, Asian, POC, & WLW representation.

I loved the art style in this! It had a kind of watercolor effect, and I love watercolors in graphic novels. It's one of my favorite things. The story was pretty well done too, giving background to characters that readers might be familiar, they might not be.
Honestly, I love this line of DC YA graphic novels for that. I think it's a good way to get teens and kids into comics and a clearer way. Because let's be honest, getting into DC or Marvel comics can be confusing. Overall, this one was a quick read, but definitely entertaining!

My first introduction to Raven and the Teen Titans was via the Cartoon Network show which ran from 2003 to 2006, while I was in high school. I loved the action, the comedy, and all the characters, but especially Raven—who had the perfect amount of snark and intelligence to appeal to teenagers, plus a ton of drama and angst to keep you invested in her story—and Beast Boy—the shapeshifter and goofball. So when I saw they each had a new book/graphic novel out, I knew I had to jump in on that nostalgia and see what my fave Titans were up to.

Overall, I really enjoyed the introduction to this world of the Teen Titans. I think familiar fans will enjoy this new take on Raven's origin along with some Easter-eggs pointing toward future developments, while newcomers will enjoy getting to know a relatable character in an extraordinary situation. The artwork is really great in bringing the characters and action to life, and while the coloring isn't always understandable, it certainly does its job to draw the eye where it needs to focus. I'd definitely recommend this to any DC comics/movies fans, as well as those interested in YA heroes & heroines. It may be a quick read, but that just means it'll take less time to hook you and get you excited for more.
