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

So awkward and average. This volume starts out in the middle of a previous story. Then dino teens wtf ??? This was all over the place.

This volume was so disjointed that it was difficult to follow. So many subplots were introduced, and I'm sure they won't be reintroduced until volume 4, if at all. The melodrama regarding the relationships of the Titans was freaking annoying as hell! I get it they're teenagers, but that doesn't mean that they are unable to talk about feelings and shit. Also I fucking hate
how this "Lance" character tells Solstice that she can be Kiran again if she makes good choices and what does she fucking do??? She makes food for the rest of the Titans!!! I FUCKING CAN'T!!!
Saving grace of the volume was the origin story of Cassie and the fact that the Silent Armor is completely badass.

I really liked the Teen Titans at first, because it reminded me of Young Justice which had worked so well as a tv series but this went off the rails like seven issues in and there were suddenly like fifty characters, it didn't make sense unless you'd read their individual publications (never a good move) and it was hard to follow.
