The New Teen Titans #2 (RE:VIEW)

Welcome to a whole new adventure with... a dollar for your comic! I don't think I ever had much dealing with the Teen Titans but I do seem to remember playing this one on one teen titan beat-em-up game one the Cartoon Network website over 10 years ago. Apart from that - nada! Let's dive in.

The comic book follows a new kid on the block sporting new tricks as gifted a mysterious group to remove the Teen Titans out of the picture, which I'm sure are for their nefarious scheme!

The characters are SO much fun to read as they throw sass, galavant around and have really unique personalities that bounce of each other. The main supervillain of the story is Grant Wilson who throws a strop and boasts he has friends in high places that will help him get places (teen angst, hey?).

The standout character for me would probably be Starfire who speaks in a different language to start with and it's so much fun seeing an outsider question the customs of human beings living in Western civilisation. She's a bit of a wildcard with her unhinged perspectives and at being her own boss of the situation. I mean all their personalities seem to also come at a cost of being their weaknesses which is a very interesting conversation to be had...

Art and panelling complement each other as it flows one page to the other. It doesn't hinder or full short of the slight subplots that pop up or the herding of all the different personalities and abilities, which helps propels the story (see what Starfire does to Grant - the poor boy!). I mean the ending is quite dark for what it seems for young people who are in their teens or maybe I'm just overly sensitive!

The cliffhanger and twist ending is a keeper! It just hits you in the feels and then the shock falls in! Spoiler alert - you have to read it unless of course, you already read it... so uhhh... read the next one?

Subscribe? Yeah!

Wanna see what new crop of adventures they go on as the last one was super fun!
