The artwork is phenomenal, but enough on that.
This book has the strongest writing and the most in-character and plausible interactions since the other books were poor in those areas. The pacing is still breakneck fast, but I liked this book considerably.
I enjoyed that it started with Kori and her sisters on good terms before it turned out as you expected.
What I did not expect was the subtle/implied Cyborg/Victor x Kori connection,which immediately fizzled out when Dick Grayson “Robin” showed up lol. It felt weird, but I wasn’t entirely against it before we went status quo. I say this as someone who loves RobStar.
I think it’s cool that the series is trying to do something new instead of a direct-to-direct rehash of the beloved Teen Titans series. Maybe the writing has finally found its rhythm. I don’t know.
It looks like Victor’s doesn’t get a solo book because we’re jumping full throttle into TEEN TITANS! WHEN THERE’S TROUBLE YOU KNOW WHO CALL—HOLLA HOLLA MY NAME
Lowkey Cyborg is getting done dirty, but I do want to see the team-up too!
