Geez this comic really is just filled with okayness...Well it's better than volume 1 and 2 but not by much.
So the Titans have a bad guy/girl within their ranks. How do we know? The bad evil bald headed telepath tells them. Oh noes who can it be. On top of that the family drama begins. Love relationships start, betrayal of the heart, you know the typical young teen romance stuff, except with adults, though Roy acts like a child. Then the betrayer is revealed but are they really bad? DUM DUM DUM!
Good: The art has improved. Well kind of. Some moments are really cool, and the interior covers for each issue are wonderful. I also enjoyed some of the nightwing moments and even Flash had a few great moments in here.
Bad: Holy hell what the fuck was that "bad guy is not bad because he's one of us and family is family" nick toons early morning tv show type shit? Also the fights are uninspiring to say the least. The villains are once again forgettable as can be. The characters barely feel like characters but more like Abnett is writing young people like he sees on TV instead of real life. The dialog is once again just averaging between shit and okay.
Overall this is easily Dan's weakest book I read. I'm starting to lose total faith in this series. I love most of the characters but not how they're written here. Titans continues to be a mess of a book only giving us a few brief moments of goodness in-between the garbage it usually spews. A 2 out of 5.

It sure took a while to get ahold of this volume!
There’s plenty of action here but it does take a while to build up. Also, I’m not sure I liked the romance focus in this volume. Some of the Titans pair off and then there’s a love triangle... yeah, I could have done without that.
I do like the later issues’ focus on the strong bond between the team members and how their friendship is a great source of strength. This helps tie the characters together.
I really like most of these characters so it’s nice that we got more points of view here than just Wally’s and Dick’s. I’m still not sure about Lilith, but that’s probably because she hasn’t been written well. Give her more to do, DC.
Donna Troy is best served in this volume. I was worried she would get shunted into the role of love interest but she gets to fight and have plenty of personality.
I love the art in this series and I think it’s getting better with each volume. Love the attention to detail in the settings and that the characters actually look like individuals and not carbon copies of each other.
Looking forward to more fun with the Titans.

This was tense! I liked all the different narrators throughout this, giving everyone’s view on the situation. There were a few vague plot points and a little too much love drama that dragged my rating down a touch, but overall I enjoyed the story here.
(read twice because I had no bloody idea of where I was with Titans, but I've definitely already read that)
I didn't know Lilith and Garth at all before reading Titans Rebirth, and I feel like I still don't know them.
Unrelatedly, I don't think the big villain is remotely believable. Not the way it's written. And the link between that villain and the rest, not much more. Which makes the conclusion all the more frustrating (or eye-rolling, depending on the mood).

Why does it feel like I missed a volume? Where did the Donna Troy stuff happen?
There's no flow to this series and the reveal of the villain didn't make sense. Come on, Titans. I know you have the ability to be better.

P.S. Quit killing off Wally West. He can only die so many times and have it make an impact. Now it means nothing.
