Book Review: Teen Titans vol #2


Book: Teen Titans volume #2: Family Lost (issues #8-12 and Titans 1/2) by Geoff Johns with illustrations by Mike McKone, Ivan Reis and Tom Grummett

Edition: Trade Paperback

Description:

Raven's Back and she has a new master -- Brother Blood! His goal is simple: world domination and Raven is just a tool.

Also, the Ravager, Deathstroke's half-brother, comes looking to kill Rose Wilson. He's stopped by the Titans, but that's just the beginning of the next chapter in Rose's tortured life as she assumes the Ravager's identity and switches from Titans ally to Titans threat.



Rating: 5 stars

Review:

The Titans (Robin, Wonder Girl, Superboy, Beast Boy, Kid Flash, Cyborg, and Starfire) were the only ones standing in way of the new Brother Blood and Slade and Rose Wilson from trying to either use Raven to bring about the end of the world (Brother Blood) or to stop her from being killed (the Wilsons).

This had non-stop action and was full of drama and suspense and not to mention humor. The team was up against a lot but it was worth it because they were going to rescue Raven.

I really like this and the drama and action was balanced with some good humor. I especially love the part where Krypto the Superdog showed up to hang out with Kon but ended up causing so much trouble and not to mention getting Kon in trouble with Starfire.

In this volume the reader got to see Rose become the new Ravager and saw her delved even more deeper into the crazy world of her father. She's trying so hard to seek his approval that she is no longer the person that the Titans had met.

I thought the character development and the writing were very good in this because you got to see a little more into how they think including Robin really starting to hate lying to his father and maybe starting to resent Batman as well.

This was definitely a great read and I can't wait to read the next volume.
