DC decided to reboot their comic book universe, so I decided to blog along with it!
Teen Titans #1

I'm just enjoying Teen Titans way too much. This is a book that had some bad, and I mean bad looking costume redesigns. They gave Red Robin Wings. They have Kid Flash looking like some alien looking face mask on his costume. Superboy was dressed all in black. It was all laughable.
Red Robin's kinda grew on me. The rest are slowly working from their.
We get snippets of other potential Titans that are on the cover that didn't get an origin story in this issue. This wasn't a team coming together book, it more made a good premise that teen heroes don't know what they are doing, they are wreckless, and that Batman started the trend of kid superhero sidekicks with Robin. So now everyone wants to be one.
Kid Flash is wreckless. He is book smart, but not your street smart superhero. This is good, this is what was best about Bart Allen, if it still is him, from his previous DC issues. Red Robin takes the position of leader. He has a Jr. James Bond edge to him that is fantastic. I hope Tim Drake keeps that up. We also meet Wonder Girl, but please don't call her that, she hates that name. She seems to take the qualities of Wonder Woman (going into battle and thinking about it later) that I don't think was something she had before. And Superboy got his own origin story is his own book. And you get that all in the story, along with telling how these stories will all come together. Awesomeness.
The art was wonderful. It was easy to follow, and good to the eye. The best part is that all the characters who are supposed to be teenagers are drawn like teenagers. No big muscles for the guys and huge chests for the ladies. Teenagers. It was wonderful.
All in all, you don't need to read Superboy to know what is going on in this book, but it makes for a great addition. I have the feeling that both book s will compliment each other very well and it will be a solid read and good entertainment all around. Its exactly what I want from a comic book.
Words: 9/10
Pictures: 8/10
Recommend: Hell to the Y-E-S! For all new readers and all old readers.
Buy Next Issue: I only hope that they have it pulled for me. I seem to have issue with that sometimes.
