I picked this up because I really enjoy Beast Boy and figured i would start with the first book in the series. This version of Raven really appeals to me as this version of her origin story seems more grounded in a relatable reality than what we usually see in the comics. While some times I think there was a little too many jumps in time/place/space between chapters or panels even, the artwork and story were both solid and really added a lot to an already well-established character.

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.
