TEEN TITANS: YEAR ONE #1Written by Amy Wolfram
Art by Karl Kerschl, Serge LaPointe & Steph Peru
This was an unique issue. On one hand, there's literally no story here and all but the most obscure hints at a future evil, possessed JLA, which the solicits for future issues do more to tell us about than this issue.
On the other hand, this issue was pure fun and brought a childlike grin to my face on more than one occasion. Scenes like Wally going insane waiting less than a minute for Robin to message him back on the computer or Donna going nuts when she runs into a boy for what appears to be the first time in her life. Even Aqualad's sorry excuse for a life was fun to see. On top of that, the art was beautiful and probably the best, or at least the most fitting for the story, I've seen in a long time.
So, I have to decide, is this book just preying on long time fans' nostolgia factor and the complete lack of a story should warrant demerits for the issue or is the pure bliss I got out of the various random scenes all that matters? I'm going to go with the latter, but if you've never read the old Teen Titans, I'm not sure if you'll get as much out of this as I did. Worth checking out by everyone at the least and a must buy for long time Titan fans.
Verdict - Must Read
