This was my favorite TT comic of the day! I absolutely loved the storylines!
As a fan of Zombies & rock, the first story had my childhood heart skyrocketing! Why did no one tell me sooner about this TT Zombie “AU.” Also, just Starfire crying at a rock concert during a screamo part hit me in the, “wow, I’m really like her after all” feels. ~ I really thought the Red X robot plot was clever & wish it had been in the tv show. ~ I love how they swapped powers as well & Star and Cyborg once again had a heart to heart about language and care. 🥹 Seriously, these two are role models, & a lot of people could learn from them.
They're getting better and better. Funny, new, exciting adventures. I like the appeareances of the other titans which are known from CN Teen Titans. I really miss the Teen Titans tv series and I had a great time reading this now.
[forgive me for the errors, I'm not a native English speaker. I just wanted to express my opinion]
I just happened to pick this up in the children's fiction section at work.
It wasn't terrible, but I'm an adult. If I were still a kid, I imagine it would have gotten at least a 3 star rating. It did have Speedy and Aqualad cameos!
The fourth Teen Titans Go! Digest book proudly proclaims “Graphic Novels for KIDS!”
Bastards.
”Beauty and the Wildebeest” has Starfire at the mall which a child her turns into Wildebeest.
”Robin even made Wildebeest an honorary Titan!” ”Robin made the mailman an honorary Titan.”
”Anger Management” has Adonis fighting Hotspot. I’m not familiar with either of them.
Trying to teach Hotspot not to lose his cool, Raven tries to teach him meditation which doesn’t work and Starfire tries to read a Tamaranean poem of calmness to him. One verse which goes “Oooga Chaka Oooga Oooga Oooga Chakka”.
Cute, but forgettable.
”When Chibis Attack!” is about the ‘Tween Titans’ and appears to be an audition for what ultimately became ‘Teen Titans Go!’. The Teen Titans battle their Chibi selves.
”Raven! You should refrain from referring to them as ‘Deformed.’ They are merely…. vertically and anatomically challenged.”
This was just silly. Well drawn but was stupido.
”Song of the Dead” starts with the Titans fighting zombies.
”Those undead dues tried to eat my brains!” ”I guess they only wanted a light snack.”
This was the best story so far. It had just the right blend of humor and straight adventure. A demon of some kind has made a deal with Johnny Rancid, the singer. He’ll give him fame and fortune but Johnny must make bigger and bigger concerts and everywhere he sings, zombies appear in bigger and bigger numbers.
Todd Nauck does art which always helps, but J. Torres writing makes this a stand-out story.
”Secret Moves” is a pretty nonsensical story about the various Titans and villains being sucked into a video game and then characters who aren’t there are created from VR to fight and the people who were sucked into the game can be controlled by those playing the game and it ends when Cyborg turns off the game and the people are all spit out.
Even seeing Raven kick ass didn’t make this story worthwhile.
Overall, except for the art this was a pretty weak book.
Honestly, these books are getting as engaging as the show. They're true to the story and wonderfully told. I like the references to the TV show, but I feel like they would be less familiar in the times that people didn't binge on TV.
