Summary: First of the Modern Age Archives!
Review: "The New Teen Titans" by Marv Wolfman and George Perez means a lot to many people. To some, like me, they represent some of the best comics entertainment during our growing-up years. Rereading it, I realized that it is still the most apt comic for the adolescent in all of us. This DC Archive Edition reprints the first eight issues of the series along with the New Teen Titans' debut in "DC Comics Presents" (a backup feature in an impossibly hard-to-find issue). Perez's detailed art and Romeo Tanghal's tight inking are beautifully reproduced throughout - although certain panels appear a little darker than the original (the ink bleeds much better in the original newsprint). The stories here are beautiful characterizations of teenagers who behave like teenagers - albeit endowed with powers and costumes. Read especially the story in issue 8, spotlighting the quieter, personal moments of each Titan. Other important points include the debut of Deathstroke the Terminator and Trigon - two classic Titans villains that continue to plague the team even in today's Geoff Johns penned series.

Summary: DC sidekicks come into their own
Review: I have to admit up front that I'm somewhat biased because this is my favorite comic book series of all time. Naturally I was thrilled to have it collected in hardcover. If you are a fan of the Titans, definately buy it. If you like the dynamics of team books, I would reccomend it as well. Wolfman really does a great job at both characterization and drama. The stories pull you in and really make you care about the characters. Plus Perez's art is just gorgeous.

Summary: "Junior Justice League"? Anything but
Review: I have to wonder how closely Mr. Rubert read the stories represented in this collection, because the Wolfman/Perez Titans were anything but a "Junior Justice League". The character dynamics were nothing like the JLA of the time. And there certainly wasn't anything like "A Day In The Lives" in, well, any other DC series of the time. These are still great stories after almost 25 years.

Summary: New Teen Titans - Best of the Best
Review: In the comic book wars between Marvel and DC - DC was losing ground to the Marvel machine by continually producing superheroes with nearly limitless powers and little thought into producing heroes with real lives and problems (with Detective comics being one of the rare exceptions). DC needed to react; and they hit the gold mine with an excellent writer, Marv Wolfman, and one of the best comic book artists of all time, George Perez. Taking the rather anemic and poorly thought out Teen Titans sidekick group. The creative tag team behind the New Teen Titans made it something special, rivaling or exceeding what the greatness of the Byrne and Claremont duo did with the X-men. The reprinting is better than the original work because Perez's incredible detail comes to full light with the quality of paper here rather than the original newspaperlike mush they had to print on at the time. So kick back, relax, and enjoy one of the best of the best series to grace the pages of comicdom. Anyone saying the NTT was second fiddle to the revitalized X-men is just fooling themselves. Both share the comic book crown. Perez, Byrne, Claremont, Wolfman... you just can't lose. :)

Summary: This was the dumbest idea ever done at DC...
Review: It would be cliche now to say that this series was supposed to be DC;s version of the X-Men, it was not. It was just a marketing effort on DC's part to try and get younger kids to read a book about heroes who went into the business but were hardly out of their diapers just yet. The idea is stupid. Bunch of kids who gather together to fight crime and yet they are so new at the game. They do not use their powers quite the right way yet, and they go against villians that would give the JLA a run for their money, it's amazing that they never got killed, or ended up in the hospital for multiple battle wounds. It's amazing that the older members of the JLA never asked the kids to stop, before someone got killed, they should have been arrested for allowing it to happen. Anyway, Marv Wolfman;s writing was the pits and George Perez's artwork looked like it needed more work, now this is a cheap series on Cartoon network, Thanks for nothing; Wolfman, Perez, DC, and Warner Brothers.
