I picked this up because I really enjoy Beast Boy and figured i would start with the first book in the series. This version of Raven really appeals to me as this version of her origin story seems more grounded in a relatable reality than what we usually see in the comics. While some times I think there was a little too many jumps in time/place/space between chapters or panels even, the artwork and story were both solid and really added a lot to an already well-established character.

This was a fun and straightforward read that delivered the hurt/comfort. I’d have enjoyed a little more insight to the characters or plot, but I definitely enjoyed this. A good weekend read!

once I captured the vibe (which was less dark than I was expecting), I enjoyed this. I started reading the next one—focused around Beast Boy—which I’m enjoying more, so I’m thinking this one reads a little like a pilot episode. not bad by any means, but a little underwhelming. plus, Raven is one of my favorite characters, so maybe my expectations were too steep. I have generally loved Teen Titans for a long time, so I’m going to hold on to this series and see where it goes. it has the potential to be something pretty sick imo.

Awesome take on Raven's backstory which helps to explain her detached personality.
