My favorite story at the right price!
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2009
I'm loving this run of the Teen Titans! It may sound weird, but this has become one of the few new titles I will continue to buy. I just love the character interactions. There are great tributes to all other titan incarnations. And I don't know what else... can a comic be charismatic? In any case there is an appeal to this book that I can't quite explain. It may be because this stays true to my idea of a superhero book. It also reminds me of the old Spiderman books and Stan Lee's concept of big heroes with real world problems in their personal lives (I know, I know this is a DC book, but still). Only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is my guys are starting to get sucked into the convoluted crossover world of the DC multiverse. I mean it's nice to know my titans are an active part of their world and not taped off in some pocket dimension, but you may start to feel like you missed something in a few parts if you are not keeping up with the money pit of tie-ins... but still my fave book!

Indeed I had a huge surprise when I start reading Teen Titans books. The stories are amazing, and this one didn't stay behind.

I like the homage they made for Kid Flash at the begining and the different art they put in the flashbacks.

In general I like the book a whole bunch, but I took one star out (and I was thinking in getting 2 out) because of the end. The two last pages told me something that, as far as I can tell, it won't be used, and if is used at some point... well.... (POTENTIAL SPOILER AHEAD!) I just don't see Tim Drake doing a "bad for good" thing.

Outer than that the book is fun and the price is right. I liked it.

This trade marks the transition from Geoff Johns to Sean McKeever as mainstay authors of 'Teen Titans' (I'll add that I much prefer McKeever, as well as the new Titans lineup, which includes Miss Martian, Kid Devil, Ravager, Blue Beetle, Robin... and that one we all love to hate, Wonder Girl). It starts off with a memorial to Bart Allen (Kid Flash), who has apparently died. Here we get an all-star treatment of the character, with tribute segments by Geoff Johns/Mike McKone (the original team behind the Titans relaunch) and Wolfman/Perez (the heroes of the 80's 'New Teen Titans' classics). These bits were pretty nice, throwing in a bit of old and new (and even a strange 'Tiny Titans' cameo), as well as an excruciatingly embarrassing Miss Martian faux pas.

From there, the proper 'Titans of Tomorrow' story takes place, which essentially serves as a sequel to volume 4 of the series, 'The Future is Now'. The story was a bit patchy, but it was cool seeing how they resolved the future that was shown in volume 4 with the post-Infinite Crisis deaths, as well as the future versions of the new Titans such as Kid Devil.

So overall, a nice installment, though not quite as good as the next book, volume 9 'On The Clock'. Further, if you're wondering what happened to Jericho, who went through so much at the end of the preceding volume 7, as well as the rest of the original Titans who were slowly phased out of this series, you might want to pick up Judd Winick's awesome 'Titans: Old Friends', which resolves all those issues.

OK, one last Teen Titans review. I know that this series has now been re-launched by writer Judd Winick, but I don't plan on picking up any trades of the new series. This series has let me down too often, as has Judd Winick. After my last read of a TT trade, I didn't know if I would go ahead and read this last trade of the series. Seeing that it featured the future Titans that appeared in Volume 4: Titans of Tomorrow sealed the deal for me. The fourth volume was definitely the best in the series, and I really hoped to see more of that goodness, here.

This trade was simply OK. Not great, not bad. It is plagued by the problems that have been plaguing it from the inception: Too many "clone" characters, a dysfunctional art team (Just how many people does it take to produce five consecutive issues of a comic book monthly? Apparently 31 people, if you include the letterers and editors of this series. Does anyone else find this disturbing?), and characters that don't stay dead when they should.

The two teams (future and present) of Titans that clash in this book are quite different than the ones that clashed the first time around - particularly in the line-up. The future team is made up of Batman (Tim Drake), Wonder Woman (Cassandra Sandsmark), Superman (Conner Kent), Flash (Bart Allen), Red Devil (Ed Bloomberg) and Martian Manhunter (M'Gann M'orzz). The current team is made up of Robin (Tim Drake), Wonder Girl (Cassandra Sandsmark), Kid Devil (Ed Bloomberg), Ravager (Rose Wilson), Miss Martian (M'Gann M'orzz), and Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), though Blue Beetle is practically part of the team, too, as he shows up throughout the story.

In this story, the future Titans come back to steer the present Titans in the direction they believe they should go in order to bring about the future they want to achieve. Also thrown in are a short story about Bart Allen - a sort of remembrance story, as he is dead at the time of this story (Yeah, like that's gonna ever stick!). The Titans also battle Starro, Lobo, and the Titans Army - led by the future Lex Luthor. It's a wild trip. The book is packed with fights between all these characters. Very little actual progression or character development takes place in this story, other than Wonder Girl finally gets over her depression over the death of Super Boy.

I think I'll just end this review here, as saying anything else would just entail repeat criticisms I've had with this series from the get-go. Read it if you want. If you skip it, you're not missing much.

A solid story telling effort, if muddied a little by the extragant amount of power ramping of the villains & the overkill use of character name dropping. Where "Teen Titans Vol. 4: The Future is Now" was focused on the individual characters & there personality, this story was just kind of event speculation, without the soul of the previous volume.

Thats not to say that it wasn't a decent read, but don't get you hopes up that its going to be as good as the previous story with these same villains in it.

Overall its not bad, bad the art does let it down a little. Its a little to cartoony for the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tomorrow never dies. Except when it does.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2015
Set during the Sinestro Corps war, The Teen Titans are forced to face their destinies once again as the Titans of Tomorrow turn up in the present day to encourage their past selves onto the path of excessive violence. If that wasn't enough the Teen Titan also have to deal with the fallout of the death of Bart Allen (Flash/Kid Flash) and the invasion of Starro infused with a yellow lantern ring.

Plenty of action in the book, if not to much action. I would have preferred to explore the links between past and present characters abit more and to have seen Tim Drake fight back abit more against his brutal future self. The story is still entertaining and I do take into account that this book is set during one of the most hectic times in DC history (after infinite crises, during countdown to final crises and setting up for blackest night).

Interesting relationships continue to develop as Robin and wondergirl get closer still, Blue Beetle is introduced to the fold and hints of betrayal from Ravager warned by the future Titans which keep us guessing and prevent us from still fully trusting the daughter of Deathstroke.

The Art is solid, clear and precise with plenty of action going on there's a lot of colour clash but it is still all kept in check and doesn't affect the story quality. Characters are pencilled with great emotion and facial features really helping to keep the reader informed of what's going on in characters minds just by looking at them.

Overall not a Teen Titans classic but still a good read. This is out of print and difficult to get hold of so I wouldn't advise paying the prices currently asked unless our a real collector. As the story quality itself is definitely not worth over £15
