Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse is a mini-series that is a continuation of the Eisner Award for Best Series for Kids, Tiny Titans series. It is a new story, but it could pick up where the previous trade paperback left off, collecting the entire six-issue 2014 mini-series.
Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse is composed of several individual mini-stories ranging from two to six pages in length, like the previous series. However, unlike the previous series, there was an overall cohesive storyline and each issue is a chapter in the series.
In an attempt to get their shrinking badge for the Brainiac Club, Prismon and Brainiac 5 has to shrink something and they choose the Tiny Titans Treehouse with Raven, Beast Boy, and Terra inside. Robin and Superboy lead the Tiny Titans to get their treehouse back. Fortunately, Raven with her magic was able to escape with Beast Boy and Terra. Unfortunately, the Tiny Titans could not stop Brainaic from stealing the shrunken treehouse and fly away in his spaceship.
Knowing that they could not get their treehouse back, the Tiny Titans goes on an adventure to find a new headquarters – preferably another treehouse. Alfred Pennyworth was the first to give them a treehouse, but reminiscent of the Batcave. They went to the North Pole where the Fortress of Solitude is located, the Rock of Eternity, Atlantis, Paradise Island, and finally Justice League Headquarters in space. Along the way (sans Justice League Headquarters), people have made treehouse for the Tiny Titans like Alfred and like Alfred's they were not quite right.
In the end, it was Batman and Superman using Boom Tube technology to take back the shrunken treehouse and was restored shortly after by a captured Brainaic. Finally, the Tiny Titans have the treehouse back, but there were five others: The Bat Tree-Cave (Alfred), The Fortress of Treehouse-itiude (Superman), The Tree Rock of Eternity (Shazam), The Aqua Treehouse (Aquaman), and the Invisible Treehouse (Wonder Woman).
Overall, I really liked this mini-series – it is fun, adorable, light-hearted, charming, funny, and surprisingly having many connections to the main continuity stories and ideas. It is good to see the Tiny Titans one final time. I really adore the Tiny Titans universe and I would not mind revisiting this universe again.
Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani penned the entire trade paperback and for the most part, it was written rather well. It is quite funny, giving many Easter Eggs and allusion to comic events that have happened in the main continuity, which is rather clever for the older people who may be reading this series.
Art Baltazar does double duty as he penciled the entire trade paperback as well and because he was the only penciler, the artistic flow of the trade paperback flowed exceptionally well. The penciling was done exceptionally well. It has a cartoonish quality, which is rather apropos to this series.
All in all, Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse is a rather wonderful mini-series. While it was just a short return to this universe, I am glad that there were more. I hope that we get to see this universe more someday.

Not very good. Now, I understand it's for little kids, but even my 6 year old brother agrees the plot is pointless, and completely idiotic. It's about the teen titans trying to get a new treehouse after the "brainiac club" shrinks and steals their treehouse. Yeah. That's the entire plot. They put a batcave in a tree, a mini fortress of solitude in a tree, and a few other things in a tree. Why didnt the just ask Batman or superman to make them, I don't know.

Collects Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse issues #1-6
This is aimed pretty squarely at kids, but the humor seemed to work for my 5-year-old and 3-year-old. There are recognizable characters here, but the artwork is done in a more cartoonish fashion. I think my kids would enjoy me reading more "Tiny Titans" to them.
Final rating = 3.5 stars

Like Muppet Babies, but for Teen Titans.
For a Titans story, there sure are a lot of Titan-adjacent and non-Titan characters. Starfire is practically nonexistent. Beast Boy only exists for Terra to abuse. Raven is underused, except when Trigon turned up.
I personally prefer Teen Titans GO! for my juvenile Titans shenanigans, but it IS a very clever comic, with lots of winks and nods at the DC Universe. The scene with Freddy Freeman and Robin at the Rock of Eternity is the funniest of the whole book and worth the price of admission. 3.5 stars.

Super adorbs and silly. Requires a bit of knowledge about the less famous super heroes. I was lost on who some of them were. Still, it was fun.

This is a review for the ARC.
I saw this one and I just squealed. I loved Teen Titans, and I love it when superheroes get turned into chibi-form.
I didn’t recognize or know all of the titans. Some I knew from their bigger forms, some I knew from the Teen Titans, but a lot of them were unknown. Not that it matters much, just that I was a little bit confused about things at times.
In this comic the Teen Titans lose their tree house and go on a hunt to find it. This hunt leads them through various worlds, from the bat cave to underwater and Atlantis. It was really fun to meet with all the various characters from the other series that there are. Batman, Aquaman, various baddies and more!
Of course the search is accompanied by lots of hilarity, a sweet whiff of romance and a lot of adorable cuteness.
I really like the art, it is fun, cute and the colours are very vibrant.
I am hoping to find the other comics from this series, though I don’t think I will have much luck, it was already a wonder that I found this one. But crossing fingers and I will keep on hoping.
All in all though I would really recommend this. You like chibis, you like superheroes, you like comedy? Then this one is for you.

I'm so excited that the Tiny Titans have returned. In this volume the Braniac Scouts have shrunk their treehouse so the Tiny Titans go looking for it. The grown up superheroes try to make new ones for them which sometimes leads to some funny mayhem, but in the end there is no place like home. The art style is still the same happy colorful fun style that totally works for this book. There are lots of "in" jokes that still work if you aren't totally involved in the comics world and overall it's just a completely enjoyable book.

So, apparently this is an award winning series. I can't fathom why. Is it because there's so few young-kid-friendly comics around nowadays? Most of it was just nonsense. I chuckled once. And maybe smiled a few times. The art is fun and it has a certain playfulness but ultimately felt too random. Not bad enough to be a 2 but not great enough to be more than 3.

Aw Yeah Titans!
What? The treehouse is missing. Sounds like this is a job for the tiny titans.
Cute story and incredibly adorable art.
Seems like it drug on and on. Could of ended sooner and my rating would of been better.

Super cute. A good starter graphic novel for little ones; the dialogue is full of kid-level jokes, and the superhero problems are totally kid-relatable. Now my three-year-old has "shrink ray" in her vocabulary!

A return to form for this charming, entertaining series.

This was a cute fast read for an adult but would be perfect for a young reader.I loved the art work and funny little jokes.This is geared toward kids but is still entertaining for adults !

Cute, but definitely for kids.

A little too hyperactive to be coherent, but that energy can be infectious.

great story for kids of all ages!

The Tiny Titans are back!! But oh no! Their treehouse is now shrunk and in a bottle. Can they find a new one, or get the old one back? Read to find out (and to have a whole lot of fun and enjoyment!)

So cute. I love the way that although it's aimed at kids there are references between the lines for DC fans.

My first comic book ever! And it took a grad school assignment for me to read a comic book. This one is super cute and super silly. I liked it a lot.

The Tiny Titans are back. This time someone steals their treehouse and they go on a search for a replacement. This is a lot of fun, but not as good as previous volumes. It seems to concentrate on the storyline rather than the jokes. There are some nice ideas here but they are not fleshed out enough. A good read.
