Art of the Day: Teen Titans
Artwork: Teen Titans by Gabriel Picolo
This looks like a fun random day of the Teen Titans just sitting around doing absolutely nothing. That is except for doing something fun and ridiculous such as Cyborg and Beast Boy doing the static electricity lightbulb trick. And Raven is reading as usual while Starfire seems to be cheering on Cyborg and Beast Boy. The only one missing is Robin, he's probably back in Gotham. And he's also the only one who doesn't live full-time at Titans Tower.

Characters Reading: Teen Titans (Teen Titans Go!)
I love watching Teen Titans Go!, the show has so many amazingly random and wacky episodes such as when Robin was trying to teach the Titans about real estate. But one of my favorite episodes is "Books" and in that episode Raven gave each of the Titans a book to read as a way to alleviate their boredom.
Starfire read a book about pelicans, Robin read The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin, Cyborg read The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi and Beast Boy read The Return of the Invisible Man. I was surprised that the writer included real book titles in this episode well all except for the book Beast Boy was reading. It's actually not a published book but the reworked title from the 1940s movie The Invisible Man Returns.

I guess I'm both kinds of people because I read both comics and classics.

Review:
This was great. In this third volume of Teen Titans you not only get two Beast Boy centric stories but they were very well written.
In the first story, Beast Boy (Garfield Logan) decides to return to Hollywood to try to restart his acting career but all he found there was zero opportunities. Adding to that, Gar will be staying with his slacker cousin Matt in his cousin's rundown apartment.
One night the guys went out to a nightclub but things were continuing to look bad for Beast Boy when he found himself being arrested for murder. He had been trying to rescue a young woman when he was knocked out and awoke surrounded by the police.
His arrest turned into a media frenzy because the actor and hero had succumbed to the pressure of Hollywood or that's the way the media was making it out to be.
Beast Boy knows he's innocent but after a daring escape from jail to go after someone who look suspiciously just like him he was once again sought after by the police. And add to that, two of his former co-stars from his old TV series had been abducted with him being blamed for it as well as he had a couple of bounty hunters after him. Will anyone believe that he's innocent?
He does get some help from Flamebird (Betty Kane), a former Teen Titans West member who was more known for being a screw up and having a huge crush on Nightwing (Dick Grayson). And speaking of Nightwing, he does make an appearance, he traveled to Hollywood trying to figure out what was going on with Beast Boy after his arrest was publicized. However, he may have ran into the one person that may be responsible for all of Gar's troubles, if Flamebird didn't get in his way.
This was a good story and it had a great mystery. I also like that Flamebird got a chance to prove that she was more than just the screw up that everyone thought she was. The story had a good mix of drama, action and humor as it put a spotlight on Beast Boy, one of my favorite characters, as he set about moving on from being a hero and living in the shadows of his past.
In the second story, Beast Boy's origin was the focus, showing how a rare and poisonous animal had bitten Gar when he was a little boy. But thanks to his parents quick thinking they were able to save his life although he did end up turning green and acquiring the ability to turn into any animal he could imagine.
Which brings the story up to the present, with Beast Boy some how losing his shape shifting abilities along with his green coloring. Everything he lost seemed to have transferred to the children in the San Francisco area as well as the rare disease that nearly killed him. While Gar seemed to be cured the rest of the Teen Titans (Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, Wonder Girl and Kid Flash) were out trying to round up all the infected children who had turned into animals. To help find a cure for the children a doctor from Gar's past had been called in but with time running out will the Titans be able to find out what's really going on.
The story also focused on the God Ares who seems to have a hidden agenda for wanting to help Wonder Girl (Cassandra Sandsmark) to figure out the power of her lasso. Meanwhile Raven is still trying to adjust to not only her new body but getting a handle on her powers.
While all of that was going on, in a side plot Superboy (Conner Kent) went to Gotham trying to track down Robin (Tim Drake) who did not show up that weekend to Titans' Tower. However, all he found was a girl (Stephanie Brown) wearing a Robin costume as well as the unfortunate opportunity of running into Batman who not so kindly told him to use his mind and abilities to track down his former protégé.
This was another good story because not only do you get to see the team working together to solve this problem but you're learning more about these characters. Again this story had a good blend of drama, action and humor.

Toy Corner: Teen Titans Go! Action Figure Set
Teen Titans Go! 2 Inch 6-Pack Action Figure Set $19.99
Toys are not just for kids, with a little creative thinking, these little action figures could easily look great as home décor especially with how cute and colorful they are.
You could stack Robin, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, Beastboy and Silkie together or separately on a bookcase/shelf. Or, if you have an entry way, you could place them on a side table in a cute tray. You could even use them as a nontraditional table center piece.
However, if there happens to be a little kid in your life who loves watching Teen Titans Go! animated series and would absolutely love this set then I guess they could even make great toys.
