May 16, 2023The Titans return as the top-class heroes who will protect us. Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott reunite to bring drama, action, and mystery to the Dawn of DC.

Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg
May 16, 2023A five-star debut for the returning Titans. Taylor takes all the sensibilities which have made Nightwing the #1 DC title and applies that to a group of characters who have been crying out for a blockbuster title of their own. There's a tough road ahead and the Titans have big shoes to fill. But under this creative team I have no doubt that Titans will be a huge success. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
May 18, 2023Titans #1 is brilliant. There are a lot of naysayers out there, but they should give this book a try, even if it is just to look at the gorgeous art from Scott and Kwok. Dawn of DC has been wonderful, and with this comic as the flagship team of the new DC Universe, things look to be in great hands. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
May 16, 2023Titans #1 does everything you want from a first issue of a superhero team series to do. The chemistry of the entire team shines through while several major storylines are established. All that is done as the Titans are immediately put over as DC Comics premiere superhero team. This is a must-have for DC Comics fans. Read Full Review

May 16, 2023There have been a lot of failed starts for the Titans in the past few years, but this one actually seems to get the big things rightit views the Titans as a family, shows them both having fun and supporting each other, and has some big threats and big mysteries as it kicks off a new era of DC teams.

But Why Tho? - William J. Jackson
May 16, 2023Titans #1 is a cool read with heroes you can relate to, who look out for each other 24/7, not just during the next weekly meeting. If you love team comics, you'll find this a bit familial, but it contains the usual stuff a fan of such books craves: big action, team dynamics, and revelations of threats to come. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - tcreadscomics
May 16, 2023Readers familiar with Taylor will find the issues story beats and themes recognizable. This issue isnt particularly deep. But it is a good introduction to the team, their mission statement, and the first arc. The art uplifts the book considerably. And while TITANS #1 isnt an exceptional first issue, it does offer a lot of potential for the future. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Aaron Kleinman
May 16, 2023Overall, the issue looks fantastic, but the story didnt capture like a debut issue should. Setting up a murder mystery with a character whos died so many times they probably get a free sundae this time around doesn't instill a great sense of high stakes - but the character beats, along with the creators' track records, are enough to bolster hope that bigger things are in store.

DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd
May 16, 2023There's a lot of heart in this issue as Scott communicates it through the characters faces and body language and Taylor wisely plays off the established history of these characters. It began way back in Brave and the Bold #54 with Robin, Aqualad and Kid Flash, the sidekick proteges of the Justice League of America. It then started again with the New Teen Titans in 1980 by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. Titans #1 begins the latest series to feature these friends who've grown up together. Certainly the journey will be fun and exciting, but the heart of this issue as well as the popularity of this group of characters is their friendship and shared experiences that continue on just like real life.

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
May 16, 2023Titans #1 begins a new era for the former sidekicks and B-Team as they move into the new Titans Tower and assume their new role as taking over for the Justice League. The writing execution is technically fine, and things happen, but the basic premise is flawed, and both the writing and art lack drama or emotional weight. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr.
May 16, 2023The new Titans book unwittingly inherits the baggage of several previous stories. Despite the squeaky clean redesign, the characters and story feel like a rehash of old patterns. On a positive note, the book has a good tone regardless of the sickeningly upbeat cast. Overall, Titans #1 lays the groundwork for the next phase of DC storytelling synergy. Readers can probably expect more teases of Peacemaker, Amanda Waller, and whatever Garth is up to in the future. Although, Taylor is directly teeing up Brother Blood as their first foe suspiciously following his appearance in the Titans series finale on HBOMAX. In the meantime, the Titans will continue to strive to surpass the Justice League by seemingly doing exactly what they've always done. Read Full Review

Nice ! I love the Titans and always have. They're my favorite superhero team and that's not about to change. This first issue does what it should do, immerse us in the 'family' atmosphere that is proper to the Titans without wasting time re-telling us their history, officially introduce us to the new status of the group (they are the new official protectors of the Earth) and the new enemy (the Iron Lady and her minions). And finally give us a plot with the apparent death of one of the members but we know he is not dead which makes me think that the story will be more complex than it seems. The art is great (I would expect nothing less from Nicola Scott), I just want the 2nd issue to hit hard and turn our heads. I'm really hoping for an epic more

Hey they killed a character that is getting a brand new #1 and creative team in September, I wonder whats is going to happen with this particular character? This was very fun, well written and drawn, I hope Tom Taylor maintain the level

I thought this was a fairly good start to this series. There isn't anything super high-stakes here, but this was a fun mission for the Titans that lays some groundwork for the future. We have whatever's going on with Tempest, we have the tension between the Titans and Peacemaker & Amanda Waller, and then we have Wally's situation (for the more immediate future of this title). This was an entertaining first issue and I'm looking forward to seeing where this run goes from here. I am really craving a good Titans book after the last two Titans United runs.

A solid start to another promising series from Taylor, but is he being spread too thin and what will set this apart from NIGHTWING? Time will tell.

I grew up in the Wolfman/Perez era so I'm often disappointed. I thought his creative team could do well, but it was just ok.edit: Gave it another try and it's still tough for me, but it was a decent start.

Tom Taylor is a hit-and-miss for me. Overall this issue was a decent start with Wally being shot and quick introductions to the other characters. I agree with other reviewers that Raven acted out of character by showing public displays of affection. Beastboy turning into a Kaiju was cool and I liked seeing Garth again. I wish he were joining the team, but I hate the art style where they show Atlanteans with protruding toes. It's not a good look and I wish they would stop it already. I waiting to see if Wally is dead or if they are going to resurrect him in the next issue. Right now, I will be continuing the run.

This book has given me mixed feelings. There are some real pros here and some real cons. Pros- The team is back, and the feel overall for the team is good -Art is nice. -Giant Monster fight! -Starts with a bang! Neutral -Energy is all over the place. Half of the time it feels great, the other half it feels kind of low energy. -Peacemaker/SS, some might like the implications, some might groan. I will leave this as undecided currently. Cons- -Wally is getting a new #1 and it seems like they are screwing him with this/or guarantees some time travel BS to make a lot of this potentially pointless? -Gets kind of preachy. Even if I agree with some of the points I just dont care. -Everyone is great all the time and great people more

A decent start to a title IF you already know a bit about the characters. Not something I'd go out of my way to continue.

From a plot perspective it was fine. Nice setup and a cool moment with Beast boy and a giant ape. The Gar Raven relationship feels real. The downside is Taylor's dialogue on everything else. Oh boy is it bad. It feels like people talking in slogans. It's so head shaking. I don't mind the politics or context of what is being said but sound human at least. Really drags the issue down. Nice ending though to set up an interesting mystery.

Great art. But otherwise flavorless mush, with only three characters with any personality (Nightwing, Wally, and Cyborg, and hey, all of them have their own books), far too many instances of the Titans telling us they will do things differently, and oh good Evil Waller is in the wings. Taylor has no feel for making the Titans interesting, though I am starting to think I only liked them on the old cartoon.
