I’m not sure if I gave this higher rating that it deserved or not. The art for this one is what carries the comic book. The art is completely fabulous, but the story is lacking. I get that it’s vaguely aimed at newer readers, but instead of keeping it to a functionable timeline on when these characters should be a teenager based on their age in the current timeline of the comics, they just kind of threw that out the window. So they have these characters using slang and referencing memes that wouldn’t of been available at the time that the characters were actually supposed to be at the age that they are in this comic. So all those fans who grew up on the teen Titans Are kind of thrown for a loop because it doesn’t relate well to the current comics for a characters like Nightwing and Donna, Troy and Arsenal because they’re using slang and referencing things that would’ve been current to their adult selves, but not to their teenage cell. And it lacks any sense of nostalgia to what the comic books were originally for the Teen Titans. All the relationships seem offkilter and wrong so it just kind of made it vaguely uncomfortable to read, even though the art otherwise carried you through reading it.
