New Book Purchase: The New Teen Titans vol #1

I ordered this last week from and it showed up in the mail over the weekend. I've said this so many times but I am saying it again, I'm so glad that DC Comics started republishing a lot of the older books and series. It gives fans a chance to read all these old stories.

I'm not sure when I became a fan of the Teen Titans but I love nearly every comic iteration of them with the exception of the New 52 version. I think when the Teen Titans series was created is when sidekicks were finally taken seriously and shown as heroes in their own right.

Description:

The original Teen Titans always stood in the shadows of their larger-than-life mentors -- young heroes like Robin, Wonder Girl and Kid Flash saw plenty of action, but it was Batman, Wonder Woman and the Flash who ultimately called the shots.

All the changed, however, with the arrival of The New Teen Titans in 1980 -- and the lives of DC's adolescent adventures would never be the same!

Crafted by comics legends Marv Wolfman and George Perez, this all-new super-team featured greater dangers, fiercer emotions and more tangled relationships than any that had come before. The Titans' celebrated stories have ensured that the names of Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and the Changeling (Beast Boy) will be passed down through history alongside those famous aliases employed by Dick Grayson (Robin), Donna Troy (Wonder Girl) and Wally West (Kid Flash).
