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.

Summary: The best of the best!
Review: The first ten issues of the New Teen Titans took the comic book world by storm in 1980 and 1981. It was DC Comics major push against Marvel's X-Men line. While there are some similarities between the two groups, the New Teen Titans quickly stood out on it's own. It catapulted the career of George Perez, and served to make Marv Wolfman one of the best writers in the field. I highly reccomend this if you like classic super hero stories, with good character development. I would go higher than 5 stars if I could.

Summary: The Only Comic That I Religiously Bought
Review: The New Teen Titans, wow! This comic was incredible. This edition is fantastic, reading it reminds me of the rush I had when I headed to the local convenience store to get my latest TNTT comic. Oh the story lines, fantastic, I hope with the renewed interest in them due to the new toon on cartoon network they make a movie out of then, the story lines, artwork, doesn't get any better than this, highly recommended.

Summary: They can't hold a torch to the X-Men
Review: the Teen Titans have always been DC's attempt to get a team going which would compete with Marvel's X-Men. But they never quite come around as beliveable human characters. Marv WolfMan has done better work on his TOMB OF DRACULA series.

Summary: The Teen Titans grow up
Review: The Teen Titans second edition, believe it or not was equal to The New X-Men. It's true. The art, the writing, the characters all excellant and matching the classic mutant tales of the time. Unfortunately, the new version of the group forgot the promising super teens helping regular kids idea in favor of a "junior Justice League" concept. This decision ultimately did them in. After all, who needs a slightly younger version, when you could go to the real thing with the JLA, especially with faltering quality and misteps in later issues. But for a number of years the quality of the book remained high and these are the tales to read about them.

Summary: With their superpowers they unite
Review: This book reprints the first eight issues of The New Teen Titans. This series really revitalized DC Comics. At the time, most comics readers considered DC comics to be inferior to Marvel comics. Well, this series showed that DC could produce superhero comics every bit as good, if not better, than what Marvel was putting out. Marv Wolfman wrote great scripts that gave the old characters depths that hadn't been hinted at before, and also added intriguing new characters. Of course, the gorgeous artwork by George Perez helped, too. You should buy this book if you want to find out how good a superhero team comic can be.

Summary: George Perez at his best!
Review: This is an excellent collection of D.C.'s relaunch of the Teen Titans in the early 80's. Marv Wolfman and George Perez brought comics to a totally different level with this series. The books focused not only on the action necessary for comics (fun battles, great villians - - - especially the introduction of the Terminator in issue #2), but also explored the characters in detail - - - why were they doing this, what problems they faced, who was attracted to who, etc. The artwork is fantastic - - - George Perez is a master and draws every issue but one in this collection. The writing is also very good and for the time was exceptional. A little wordy compared to today's comic but still nothing to complain about. If you are looking to get into the D.C. archives series, this is a great place to start.
