Teen Titans #6

So far I am having a blast with this series and I hope that the groundwork that this issue laid out becomes something special. Read Full Review

Teen Titans #6 is another great issue in fairly under looked series. Pfeifer's dialogue is great, and Hepburn's artwork is stellar. With the coming events, Teen Titans is definitely a series to be reading. Read Full Review

I'd like to learn some more about Manchester Black since he's become such a pivotal character to the story. The solicit for this issue mentioned that the fight for the soul of theTeen Titanscontinues. I believe this is figuratively within the events of the story as well as the title itself. This story arc is definitely worth checking out if you plan on following this book. Read Full Review

Overall, there's a lot of potential in this new budding Teen Titans team, and hopefully the new Power Girl is here to stay because she adds a whole new element of reality to the inexperienced super team. Read Full Review

"Teen Titans" #6 is still a massive improvement over the previous series, but it's a shame that the main storyline isn't that interesting. With Power Girl now on board and some of the other solid subplots like Raven's admirers or the army of Wonder Girls, I have high hopes that the book can kick into high gear before long. Right now, it looks promising. Read Full Review

Overall, this was an uneven issue. There were a few moments of really intriguing stuff, yet it was unfortunately balanced by some very run of the mill super-hero comic filler. For a newer reader this probably wont bother you. Read Full Review

The question here is, is Teen Titans #6 effective in doling out its premise? Is it delivering its mission statement to the best of its abilities? Id argue that Pfeifer and crew are working really hard to develop this book into something special, and are trying to give it major teenage credibility by making it as up-to-date on trends and pop culture as much as possible, but that invariably results in a lot of clumsiness and forced relatability issues that narrows the impact this might have considerably. Still, six issues in, its better than the last Titans run by a large margin. Read Full Review

'Solid' is the word of the day for this issue. The storyline progresses in some fun directions, and new Power Girl Tanya Spears is already making an impression on the team. The artwork is easy on the eye and works well with the team bar a few pointy edges, and the cliffhanger is difficult to puzzle out, making next issue a new mystery to solve. Teen Titans isn't essential reading quite yet, but it is proving to be a reliable read month in and month out. Read Full Review

While fans of this new direction of the book will most likely enjoy everything that was given to us with this issue, I just can't seem to get behind it.  It seems like more of a deconstruction of the team than the revitalization that I hoped would happen after the renumbering.  Also with the inclusion of fan clubs and media promoting the Titans, it seems that DC is trying to go for a younger audience like it's done with Batgirl and I hate to say it, but maybe I'm getting too old for this series.  I still have high hopes for this series but as of right now, it's not for me.

Every opportunity he has in this issue to explore the Titans and their lives is interrupted. He's constantly cutting himself off instead of staying with a scene or a moment. Pfefier actually starts several conversations exploring the Titans' living situations and motivations, but then he cuts himself off to move on, usually towards Manchester Black. What he does write is actually pretty good, and I was prepared to give this issue a higher score, but then Pfeifer just flatlines in the entire second half of the issue. Read Full Review

Pro-active superheroes is not a good idea. But that's exactly what it sounds like the new Power Girl is trying to get the Titans to become. The problem is that they can only respond to crimes that are committed, since the criminals aren't criminals until they break the law. It just doesn't make sense. That being said, there's still a lot to like about this book. I like the idea of introducing a new Power Girl to the team, and the idea of her actually having the documents to legally call herself Power Girl is really funny to me. Scott Hepburn's art, while not as sharp as Kenneth Rocafort's, is still really good, although it goes a bit too cartoony for my taste at some points. The interactions between the main characters is fun too, but I wis h we could get to know more about them as people. Manchester Black, unless there's some great back story to this guy, is a boring character. There's seemingly no motivation for this guy to do anything nefarious, other than he can. I just don't get him. Overall, this is not a bad book, or a bad series, but there are some problems starting to show that need to be resolved soon. I recommend the book, but it's not a must read. more

Decent read, I like the new Power Girl, who urges the team to be more pro-active. And a serious new threat explodes (literally) on the scene. But what is Black's game, why is he buttering up Wonder Girl? I like Hepburn's cartoony art, he's good with action and expression

Dig the art. The whole new Power girl thing seems forced.
