Read my full review at The Wolf's Den
Overall, I really enjoyed the introduction to this world of the Teen Titans. I think familiar fans will enjoy this new take on Raven's origin along with some Easter-eggs pointing toward future developments, while newcomers will enjoy getting to know a relatable character in an extraordinary situation. The artwork is really great in bringing the characters and action to life, and while the coloring isn't always understandable, it certainly does its job to draw the eye where it needs to focus. I'd definitely recommend this to any DC comics/movies fans, as well as those interested in YA heroes & heroines. It may be a quick read, but that just means it'll take less time to hook you and get you excited for more.

I enjoyed the art style and simple color palette!
The plot is a little predictable, thanks to the need to be an origin story and the younger target demographic. The side characters aren't terribly fleshed out, and I think this installment suffers from a lot of the problems as Beast Boy's story, in that the primary function is to have them discover their powers and leave home to meet each other.
I'm a little hesitant about the inclusion of Louisiana Voodoo, and the way it is kind of lumped in with the superhero powers and Raven's supernatural heritage, given that I don't believe the author is from this background herself. I have been looking for own-voices reviews addressing this concern, and will edit this review to link any that I find.
Overall not a new favorite, but I'm still interested in continuing with future installments.
