Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven
by Kami Garcia
Thank you to NetGalley and DC Entertainment for giving me a review copy in exchange for my unbiased review.
Beast Boy Loves Raven is the third installment of the series where worlds finally collide. After the respective characters had their own solo arc, they both end up in Nashville to meet Slade (which they both believe they're doing alone). The two keep bumping into each other, and are inexplicably drawn to the other. The time comes for them to meet Slade, unbeknownst to the other, and, well...that's where s**t hits the fan. It's fun :)
This is a really awesome addition to the Teen Titans! First of all, getting to see not only the origins of Beast Boy and Raven, but to FINALLY have this relationship be cannon is super satisfying. DC knows what they're doing, haha.
Anyway, this installment has a fairly straightforward storyline with some really cute moments showing the beginnings of a sweet relationship between Gar (Beast Boy) and Raven. The art is really fantastic—there are some pretty cool panels, but beyond that the character design is just so spot on.
It's really special to get to see these characters I love in a new way, where they're coming into their powers and don't really know how to control them yet. Not to mention, we get to see how everything connects to Slade (a classic TT baddie), and their realization that he's not as helpful as he has pretended to be.
You can tell that a lot of love and care has gone into this, and the writer and artist love this fandom as much as the readers.
I really have one critique: sometimes the story jumped around a bit in a way that wasn't easy to follow, or was just uncohesive. There were only a few "glaring" moments of this, though, so it didn't have a major impact on my overall enjoyment.
Vaguely spoiler-y:
We also get to see Damien Wayne (AKA Robin, eventually) and Max, who is an original character in this series. And they've got a little flirtationship too. PLUS, we get to see the back of Starfire's head, and Slade is hunting her too. So we've got a pretty good setup for the next installment, where hopefully the whole team will join together.
