Teen Titans #19

Percy and the art team did an amazing job putting Beast Boy in the center of attention during this arc and this issue closed off the story flawlessly. Joran was introduced as a complex villain that would work perfectly as a recurring Beast Boy villain and maybe even the villain of a Beast Boy mini-series. Hopefully, we get to see Percy work with this team again after giving us some of the best times with the Teen Titans team since the beginning of the New 52! Read Full Review

TEEN TITANS #19 is a very satisfying conclusion to the "It Ain't Easy Bein' Green" arc. With incredible characterization and art, this story only truly suffers from a too sudden end to the overarching conflict. Read Full Review

A solid ending for an entertaining incarnation of the Teen Titans. And a good lead in to No Justice to close it all out. Read Full Review

Teen Titans #19 is a fulfilling conclusion to an interesting tale. I appreciated the emotive nature of the story as well as the maturity and growth shown by Gar. The art was appealing and clean. The story felt like it received a fitting end. The cliffhanger panel was just enough to whet the appetite for subsequent issues. This issue held my interest and felt meaningful in a way that transcends the pages. Read Full Review

Overall, it's a good ending to a good series. Read Full Review

Benjamin Percy and the gang have done well to fit at least six issues' worth of material into just three comics. Read Full Review

Overall, a good story for Beast Boy but an arguably better arc for the team in general. Read Full Review

This final story arc, focusing on Beast Boy and his complex dynamic with the rest of the team and with Damian in particular, is perfectly fine but also feels sort of slight. It's a fairly minor in the scheme of things, and this version of the Teen Titans just peters out as a result. Read Full Review

Teen Titans #19 is an enjoyable and emotionally reflective book which looks at what holds the Titans together as a group. While the resolution could have used more self-observation on the part of Robin, I quite enjoy it when a team book becomes introspective about its members, and I dont think its resolution is outright harmful. Plus, the art is very good. As such, this one earns a recommendation. Check it out. Read Full Review

I'm not too sure what to expect from Teen Titans after No Justice finishes but if there is more of Damian's pet Goliath to come, like we got this issue, then that will definitely put a smile on my face. Read Full Review

A fitting end to this volume... hell, a fitting final arc for this volume.  It features Beast Boy both quitting... and rejoining the team!  Unfortunately, it's not all that interesting... which, I suppose makes it even more fitting! Read Full Review

So, long story short, get this book if you're a big fan of Teen Titans and don't want to miss a thing, or if you just want to complete Percy's run. If you're still on the fence, though, I'd say wait a month, because a new creative team is coming. Read Full Review

This issue was fun, but as most of this run, it was far from essential. The thing is there were never any real stakes, no major drama, things remained superficial and cartoonish most of the time, which made it hard to care for the cast. Take this last arc, Beast Boy is inducted into a cult due to his deep insecurities and resentment towards Demian. However, this came out of nowhere as it is something that never came up in previous issues. It took three issues to introduce Aqualad and his backstory with his father, Black Manta, which is ironic since Aqualad is the least interesting member of the cast. Also it was always slightly ludicrous that the Teen Titans would put up with Demian Wayne’s leadership. Not even Jonathan Kent os willin g to do that in Super Sons, so why would Starfire, Raven or Beast Boy do it? It was weird seeing the much older Starfire hanging out with a bunch of kids. A continuing frustration came from not addressing how Starfire, Raven and Beast Bot were affected by the new Rebirth continuity. It was always entertaining and light hearted but not much else. more
