A classic setup: "Help! I've been transported to an alternate reality but I'm the only one who realises it!" With the 'only one' in question being Tim Drake. Suddenly the Titans are no longer, and some aren't even on the right side.

It was a good bit of fun seeing them all take on a different look and personality, but it was equally good to have them find one another again.

Raven plays a rather interesting role here and it was fun to see that.

Art is pretty clean and easy to follow, with some great double-page spreads. Great action shots, too.

All in all, a good bit of Titans fun.

More of a 3.5 star, but I'm feeling nice.

Last year, the Titans united (see what I did there) to deal with Starfire's sister, because that's who they were fighting in the third season of Titans. Now that the TV Titans are battling Brother Blood and Mother Mayhem, the comic Titans are back again to do just that. Corporate synergy, everyone!

But honestly, this isn't bad. Tim Drake wakes up in an alternate reality caused by a Brother Blood spell, and must de-program his brainwashed Titans friends and put things back the way they were. It's a decent plot, if a little heavy on the double-and-triple crossing (I lost track of what side Raven was on more than once), but it filled the gap nicely while DC got their other Titans book from Tom Taylor off the ground.

The real draw for me personally was Lucas Meyer's art, which is just lovely. It's fully formed, always detailed, and beautifully coloured. I couldn't even say that it's particularly unique in terms of style, but it's so well polished that it manages to look like it is, if that makes any sense.

Titans Tie-In, I mean, United, is fun, if a little confusing. But it sure does look pretty.

The perfect title! Titans United is a graphic novel that I feel a lot of comics has sadly fell silent with. The power of friendship and the belief in each other. Titans are tossed in a alternate setting that is done with the power of a stone that Brother Blood possesses. With this stone he manipulates all the Titans in a sort upside down world but the titans never give up because deep down their bond is powerful. I love stories like this.

The Titans have never been
a solid book
Springing from the
Sidekicks of DC Heroes.
Getting together
as The Teen Titans.

Several permutations later
we come to this team
nothing really new
but it spirals into
a half assed Elseworlds Story
Raven( the daughter of the Demon Trigon )
is spelled by Brother Blood
( some kind of Wanker Demon? )
to create another reality
in which she is the Dark Goddess
of the world.
Blah
Blah

Goodness prevails
absolutely nothing new
-ugh-

This was a random but very fun read. It’s intense, especially with the characters not knowing themselves and living a violent life. Odd team ups abound. I like alt universes and dimensions, so this was really up my alley. Only the last issue fell away and got confusing. I felt like there were wheels within wheels that weren’t all that clear. But, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

I simply will never like a Brother Blood story.

[Jonah · Rating 3 out of 5]

A wild story that is a little all over the place and doesn't do great job at showing off each of the characters. But stories that delve into raven's powers are traditionally pretty weird.
