Beast Boy is one of the few DC characters I really love and connect with. This new origin story brings a lot to the table for a well-established and loved character. While, at times, I wanted to smack Gar for making choices that really seemed so obviously poor, he's always been a bit of a rascal. Now, I do think this book has the same issue as Raven, having times where the time/place/space from one panel to the next or between chapters is a little jumpy, but overall it's not too bad. I look forward to the next installment!

Really enjoyed this one. I love me some dorky boys who loves animals. 😍😍😍
Unlike in Raven's graphic novel, she lacked some backstory, and now, with Beast Boy, I feel like I'm missing when he meets Raven in her book. So some things don't make sense. I still love it regardless

As much as I love the Titans, the origin story felt slow and didn’t get interested in it til the last new pages

Me gustó más que el anterior, pero el final me dejó picada, necesito el tercero.
Creo que la historia de chico bestia estuvo mucho mejor realizada, porque conocemos más de él, de sus amigos, su familia, sus intereses, cómo es en su vida diaria, sus metas, es un personaje bastante bien creado, lo que con Raven no me pasó.
A pesar de ello, el tercero parece ser que es de ellos juntos y MUERO por eso.

I totally recommend checking out the authors' notes prior to diving into this one giving their backstories with this character. I went into this having not read their previous installment (which you don't have to) and was pleasantly surprised at how seamlessly this duo works together. I am definitely going to be backtracking and reading their first book together. Additionally, Gabriel Picolo is an artist whose work I will be looking out for in other things.

Overall, a match made in heaven.

I received an ecopy of this through Netgalley; however, all opinions are my own.
