Teen Titans, Volume 2: The Culling by Scott Lobdell

majincloud's review

5.0

Most bad reviews come from the same idea: I can't follow the story because it is a crossover. I find that stupid. The book does exactly what it says on the back. it collects issuses 8 to 14. If you would have had them in their original comicbook for would that have been a problem? I don't think so. Judgeing a collection with the expectation of a story is useless.

Know what you are geting and you will not be dissapointed. I was not by all the pieces of the new 52 universe I found here

This is possibly the most incoherent comic book graphic novel I've read in a long time. Most of the issues have anything to do with each other and entire plotlines just disappear without resolution. I think I'm dropping this series completely.

I loved getting a little more of the back stories of the characters. Not quite as good as Volume 1, but very, very good.

I don't know if this comic was really that confusing, or I'm just really having that hard a time concentrating lately! I couldn't keep track of all the characters and remember which ones were which.

Nothing resembling the Teen Titans happened in this mess. The solo Kid Flash stuff was closest. Red Robin makes no sense. I can't even keep track of the rest of the team. And I will go to my grave wondering what the eff DC's goals are with the organization of these trades.

The entire first half of this volume is a big confusing mess with loose ends and no sense of purpose. The second half, however, is actually interesting and provides great character development for Cassie.

Well that was confusing. What was with the Dino humanoids and where did the rest of their story go? Questions I had from the first volume are getting answered, but more are being brought up. Where the hell is Skitter?

I definitely think the issues could have been collected better for this volume. There were some interesting stories BUT

a-we start off with the end of the culling crossover so a bit lost of what had happened between vol 1 and 2
b-had dinosaur side story that just stopped with no note on where it is concluded (really want to know what happens with Kid Flash)
c-we just jump straight into wonder girl having issues with her armor but it almost seemed like it came out of nowhere

The artwork was nice even though the artists changed and I'll still be continuing. Just need to figure out what I've missed now...

Read late summer 2019, but did not finish. I started reading the Rebirth Teen Titans while on vacation (I have those as ebooks, so they could easily come on vacation via my tablet, whereas the trade paperback I own could not due to luggage weight concerns) and it is so much better than the New 52 TT that I just can't finish out this series. The series might have been likeable in another creative team's hands, but the choppy story and hit-and-miss characterization so far is just not something I can deal with, especially not in comparison to the much better Rebirth reboot. I'm a little glad that I got this far, as some of these characters reprise in Rebirth (so I can at least recognize them), but I have no plans to read the other books. I am likely to donate the series - as I, unfortunately, own all the books - to my local library. Maybe someone else will like it more than I do.

Most of those stars are for the beginning of the Wonder Girl story. Most of the other stories were incomplete because, I guess, they are part of different heroes' volumes. Stupid crossovers. :P
