Rating: Summary: A bit confusing, but entertaining Review: We'll get the confusing part out of the way first: the desire to include every Titan that ever was, and everyone who ever helped them, got old. Even with the little "id" boxes, it got difficult to keep track of who was who, and the boxes themselves became intrusive after a while.Other than that, I really enjoyed this book. I'm finding I like Devin Grayson's work a lot, oddly enough for some of the same reasons the other reviewers didn't like it. (BTW, it's Devin, not David. A girl writing comics. Imagine ;)). As someone only recently getting into the Titans, I found this a good introduction. I liked the interplay of the various characters, both within their respective groups (JLA or Titans) and between mentors and proteges. Sure, there was a lot of talk (not, IMHO, a bad thing), but there was more than enough action to balance it. The art was great, and the arrangement of panels and scenes interesting without being confusing. Overall, I highly recommend it.
