Teen Titans, Vol. 1: Damian Knows Best
by Benjamin Percy
Well least it's better than Titans huh?
Listen, I don't like Teen Titans the show. I know the fanbase is huge, my wife even loves it, but it was never for me. I didn't grow up reading the teen titans or watching it. So when I get the comics I want to see what all the fuss is about. I do hear John's run is where it's at so one day I'll get to it, however, let's talk about Rebirth.
The star is Damien. This is probably why I enjoy it more than others. I love Damien. He's a little shit, with a big heart, who uses his humor to ignore the flaws of himself. He's also a badass warrior who made his cousin go half blind. So there's that. After Damien kidnaps the Teen Titans he tells them they will become the NEW Teen Titans! However, we the League of Assassin's comes into play things might not go as easy as one would hope.
Good: The art is pretty solid. Everything is bright and fun, the fights are well done, and the character designs are all solid (raven is hot). I also thought Damien giving his speeches felt the most like a Robin so far. The team working together to take out the assassin team was enjoyable as well.
Bad: The way they forced them together felt a little odd. Beast Boys Humor is kind of dumb (I guess that's normal though?) Also the art, while good at most times, can look a little weak. I feel like there was even a moment or two that they used the same panel art with slightly different colors in a fight.
Overall it was fun time but not super amazing. I'll probably read least volume 2 or maybe even 3 to see how it ends up. For now it's enjoyable! A 2.5-3 out of 5.
