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!

I ended up accidentally reading this series out of order, and began with the Beast Boy book instead. I had no prior familiarity with the Teen Titans beyond the surface level, and was able to follow both books fine despite the mix up and lack of other knowledge.
I enjoyed the art style and simple color palette!
The plot is a little predictable, thanks to the need to be an origin story and the younger target demographic. The side characters aren't terribly fleshed out, and I think this installment suffers from a lot of the problems as Beast Boy's story, in that the primary function is to have them discover their powers and leave home to meet each other.
I'm a little hesitant about the inclusion of Louisiana Voodoo, and the way it is kind of lumped in with the superhero powers and Raven's supernatural heritage, given that I don't believe the author is from this background herself. I have been looking for own-voices reviews addressing this concern, and will edit this review to link any that I find.
Overall not a new favorite, but I'm still interested in continuing with future installments.
