I loved the action and excitement
I liked the adventure and how they get through the troubles. I definitely recommend it to schools too. And that is also why I put 5 stars.

It's not that bad...
I'm a fan of the original Teen Titans comic books, and every now and then I watch the TV series. I, along with most people, thought this was just going to be stupid and pointless. But when my friend told me it had an FLCL reference in it, there was no reason I couldn't pick it up.This was made for fans of the TV show, NOT for the comic book fans. I didn't love it, I thought it was okay. Then aghain, considering that I was comparing it to the original comic the entire read , it really wasn't a fair fight. If you're trying to force you're child/ younger relative into comic books, this is probably the best thing you could give them.I thought it was a rather enjoyable read. the Out Of Character-ness got a bit irratating, but I'm a fan-fiction reader, so OOC's is nothing new to me. If the FLCL reference in chapter 5 isn't enough to convince a fan of the show to read this, the pleasing artwork and the child-friendly storylines should be.

Ordered for my kids
We ordered this because its a light hearted cartoon superheros, and my kids are currently big into superheros, but unlike most, this show/comic doesn't really have a dramatic twisting plot to follow.

Not as good as the show, but fans will enjoy it.
Like many Teen Titans fans, I have longed for the return of the original 2003 animated series. But since that hasn't seemed to happen yet, I decided to settle for the Teen Titans shorts as well as these comics.The comics may not have the story or emotional depht of the animated series. But it does capture the personalities of the characters, the humor can get a few chuckles now and then, and even the storylines can even occasionally end with a positive message.It may not be the dark, driven sixth season of the Titans we've all been wanting for so long, but it is a cute comic for fans of the show. Just don't expect anything grand and you'll enjoy it finem

Me encanta el comic!
A pesar de que no me llegara en un plástico adentro para que no se maltratada o algo así jeje, pero a decir verdad, me llego bastante bien sin ningún maltrato jeje, como soy fan de Los Jovenes Titanes, lo disfruto mas con mas razon, El comic esta en Ingles, es entendible siempre y cuando sepan Ingles, pero es recomendable, si se han visto la serie, la película, sus videojuegos, pero si su hambre de Teen Titans no esta satisfecha, podrán leer estos comics, recomendado!

Fantastic comic, definitely recommend
Bought this for my 12 year old sister who absolutely loves the teen titans go cartoon on TV and this is comic book is perfect! It is child friendly unlike some other comics and the characters are recognisable in the drawings. My sister reads this repeatedly and never gets bored of it! A fantastic colourful comic book, with plenty of pages. I would definitely recommend to all teen titans go fans.

A great Christmas present to myself!
“Teen Titans”, a cartoon based on a DC Comics series from the 80s, ran on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2006. The show retains a passionate fanbase due to its superb characters, its striking aesthetic and its perfect blend of comedy and serious drama. Soon after the show premièred, a monthly tie-in magazine called “Teen Titans Go!” was launched, each issue containing standalone comic-strip stories featuring the characters from the cartoon. This product is a reprint of an anthology containing the first six issues of that comic; it does not contain any new material. It is not related to the current Cartoon Network show also called “Teen Titans Go!”, except that they are both spin-offs from the original cartoon.That first paragraph was for the benefit of anyone who is considering buying this product for a young relative who likes “Teen Titans Go!” and is now feeling a bit confused by the various Teen Titans products. However, most people considering buying this are likely to be fans who already know the difference between “Teen Titans Go!” and “Teen Titans Go!”. Even so, not everyone who knows of the tie-in comic will have read it. So what’s it like?In my opinion, it’s a worthy companion to the series. Three out of six stories are pencilled by Todd Nauck and inked by Larry Stucker, and it would be difficult to overstate how good a job they do. They would continue to contribute to the comic throughout its run, and deserve only praise for their likenesses of the TV characters and their handling of complex scenes, expository panels and splash panels (like the awesome spread in the first issue where the Titans rush to battle for the first time). Of the other three stories, two are pencilled by Tim Smith, and another is pencilled by John McCrea and inked by James Hodgkins. Smith has a very different style to Nauck; he tries hard to be comedic, emphasising perhaps a little too much that this is a kiddie’s comic based on a kiddie’s show. This approach is hit and miss: at times it works okay, at other times not so well. The McCrea-Hodgkins team left me wanting to see more of them: different from Nauck and Stucker, but good in their own way. The quality of the reprint is high, so all the art comes across very well.The quality of the writing is what matters most, though. All six stories are written by Joseph Torres. Torres’ writing is excellent, with well-structured stories and clever and characterful dialogue. The pre-eminent strength of the original cartoon was its ensemble of captivating characters, especially the five leads, all of whom were distinctive, flawed-but-brilliant people whose struggles you could identify with; whom you could cheer for, laugh at, maybe even fall in love with. While the new “Teen Titans Go!” spin-off reduces these wonderful characters to crude, sometimes unrecognisable caricatures of themselves, these stories actually do quite a good job of recreating the gang we know and love, and the rhythms of their interaction. Some reviewers complain about bad characterisation, but I found very little to complain of here.Only the fourth tale, in which Raven acquires a pimple which somehow summons a manifestation of her demonic father Trigon, seems like a bizarre failure of tone. Addressing facets of the adolescent experience was always a big part of the show, but it was usually more subtle and covert than this… The other five stories are great, especially the first two. Starfire comes across particularly well, as Torres captures her bonhomie, naivety and amusing speech patterns very successfully. The fourth story is a Valentine’s Day special, and there is a lovely moment when Starfire is told the basic concept of Valentine’s Day for the first time, i.e. have a nice time with someone you love. So she asks Raven to be her valentine! Shippers’ paradise in one panel (there is something for BBxRae shippers too, fear not). Sweet, funny, and with a tiny hint of edge – at its best, Torres’ writing can be reminiscent of the series when it, too, was at its best.In fact, it goes a bit far in one respect. These stories, while not exactly retellings of early TV episodes, tend to mirror them with varying degrees of closeness: Starfire gets kidnapped by aliens; Cyborg meets some kids with prosthetics, and coaches them at baseball; Raven goes on a date with a goth boy who shares her caustic attitude - all of these scenarios were first seen on TV. Also, villains of the week from Season One return for rematches which are not explicitly sequels to the TV encounters, but not rebooted alternate versions either. The stories are therefore neither radically original, nor aimed at continuity hounds. Maybe this made more sense in the dim and distant past of the mid-2000s, when the target audience was largely children whose pocket money could stretch to a comic, but not necessarily a DVD, and episodes of a TV show were not necessarily something you could keep.I have no idea whether this release is a one-off, or whether the rest of the comics run is going to be collected – but if it’s the latter, I will be buying the lot. It may not be perfect, but “Teen Titans” fans are lucky to have it.
