Teen Titans Vol. 1: A Kid's Game

Having read the Superman comics for a long time, I never liked Superboy. His attitude was annoying, his powers were either too much of a knockoff, or his non-Superman abilities weren't interesting. With this new Teen Titans series, Geoff Johns has not only made Superboy an interesting character, but one that I actually care about.Although none of the other characters had any negative sides to them in the past for me, I still never had a whole lot of interest in them. But seeing as how the show on Cartoon Network was decent, I skeptically decided to check out the comics. Fortunately, this was the book I picked up.With a core group of 5 Titans, Johns skillfully crafts a tale of characters seeking to make it on their own, all the while not entirely sure how to accomplish this task. Throwing in new details to round out the characters, Johns took many of them from their one-shot attitudes to being fully recognizable characters. The art is really good too.I highly recommend this book, and the next 3 volumes, to anyone that appreciates the Teen Titans, Superman, the Flash, or DC comics in general.

I was reluctant to get Teen Titans books because I thought I couls live without them. That the Infinite Crisis chronology doesn't deserve for me to buy a whole collection of teenage books. I don't know yet about the chronology, but I can honestly say I was wrong in not getting it.GEoof Jones once again gave me proof he can't do no wrong. This is a very exiting book. I can't believe I'm reading it just now. I actually bought the whole Teen titans books because I have a big discount in them, and man!, I'm happy to get them.What it means to be a teenage. What's the value of privacy and true friendship?.Jones story plus McKone drawings makes this a very action pack great story. Watching the New Generation of heroes fighting their way with the League was mindblowing... Oh yeah, and Nightwing is cool as he can be.I loved this book. I can't recommend it enough.

I like how in this story, that it tells about the new Teen Titans that have arrived at the tower, the ones that died, and the ones that are still on the team. I also like how it talks about the struggles each member is going through, especially what their enemy, Deathstroke, is going through. This is a pretty good story.

This story is a great introduction to the characters and the team. The characterizations for almost of all the characters were really good and interesting. The art was also really good, especially for the Gotham heroes and the male JLA members. My main problem is that there are some mysoginistic elements. Starfire and Wonder Woman's oversexualized designs are an obvious example, but the most jarring part was Beast Boy's characterization. I enjoy a flirty Beast Boy as much as the next gal, but here his commentary constantly crosses the line into sexual harassment, which is especially inappropriate when directed at (or about) Wonder Girl who is still very much a minor while Beast Boy is an adult. However, I will say that at least this book passes the Bechdel test, which is more than a lot of superhero stories can claim.

A fantastic start to this new era of teen titans.

Everything about this worked for me. I loved all the characters by the end, and it left me wanting more. Not only some of Geoff Johns best work, but one of the best comics I've read.

If your a Titans fan this is definitely a book you will enjoy, Im not sure if its on the same level as the Wolfman and Perez run it is definitely a worth while read.

Mostly satisfied. It is a used copy said to be in very good condition. It is in pretty good shape, all pages intact, no creases or bent corners. There are a few more scratches on the front and back cover than what I would consider "very good" condition though. Still I would say good condition.
