librarianryan 's review for:

Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia
4.0

Did you read the GN Raven last year. I was hoping we would get more of that story, but instead of a sequel, we get the creation of a character. If you follow the comics or the DC world at all, then you already know that the Teen titans are made up of Raven, Beast, Robin and others. This time we see how beast boys come about. I wish the illustrator would have done similar to what they did with Raven and kept everything in hues of green, but this is in full color. Beast boy is no beast. He is a small guy with no power. No matter how much he works out he can not put on muscle and weight. Until he throws his parents “supplements” out the door. Now he is getting bigger, stronger, and having weird green hairy flashes of adventure. I really enjoyed this origin story and can not wait to read when all the characters finally come together.
