Teen Titans #13

The best thing about Teen Titans #13 is art. Ale Garza draws this book exactly how it should have always been drawn. It's fun. It feels youthful and filled with energy. This is a gorgeous looking book! Garza just kills it on every single page.That's right, Teen Titans was well-written and beautifully drawn this month. Does anybody else feel like their world has been turned upside down? Everything is different now. Read Full Review

It's unfortunate, but a lot of Scott Lobdell's missteps are not a result of the title he's working on, but rather a fundamental misunderstanding of how people read comics and how they stay interested and compelled in the contemporary marketplace. For Lobdell - a writer who came to prominence in the adjective-soaked weirdness of the 1990s - trying to write the Teen Titans effectively was not working. His tailored style didn't fit with today's teenagers, and it was systematically pulling the series into the dirt. I'm glad Fabian Nicieza is getting a chance to make the series good. Hopefully, he can keep this trend going and make Teen Titans one of the 'must have' titles of the 'New 52'. Read Full Review

Consider this the start of my campaign to make Niciezathe new permanent Teen Titans writer! Read Full Review

While this is a great issue, my hope for the rest of the series is that Lobdell returns to doing all writing duties, and Tyler Kirkham joins finally as the permanent artist with no more fill-in artists. Read Full Review

"Teen Titans" #13 could have worked, but the finished product just never quite gels. As a return to the main narrative, it's a bit of a let down. Read Full Review
