Teen Titans by Geoff Johns Book Two (Teen Titans
Geoff Johns, the writer behind some of DC’s greatest events, including DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH and INFINITE CRISIS, continues his smashing run on the classic TEEN TITANS franchise with TEEN TITANS BY GEOFF JOHNS BOOK TWO.
After misadventures in Hollywood and life-changing revelations for Beast Boy in San Francisco, the Teen Titans earn a much-deserved weekend off. While the Titans’ weekends are usually a chance to get away from it all, this time they’re really gone…to the 31st century. There they must help the Legion of Super-Heroes stop a threat known as the Fatal Five Hundred.
Their return trip drops them off a mere ten years into the future, but it’s not a place they want to stay. Most of the team are horrified at what they grow up to become and what these adult Titans do to accomplish their goals.
In this second volume, Johns teams with Mike McKone (JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED) and other artists for his unforgettable reimagining of one of the DC Universe’s staple titles. Collects BEAST BOY #1-4, TEEN TITANS #13-19, TEEN TITANS/LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES SPECIAL #1 and more.

3 stars is pretty generous. First off there are 4 issue of a canceled Beast Boy series that just did not age well, then an ok-ish arc featuring some plot lines from that. After a mediocre crossover with the Legion, we get a pretty neat arc that introduces a dark timeline Tim that I am pretty sure has recently shown up in DC Rebirth.

I really liked Teen Titans by Geoff Johns book 1. A bit too out there at times but it had really solid character work and a fun if Wacky plot, hell thats most of comics.
This volume still has that but it also has a bit of a rough start with the first 4 or so issues of a Beast Boy solo series that isn’t great. It’s a bit entertaining at first but that quickly wears thin. And you’ve got another three issues to read. The art is very 90s with hard lines and scratchy static movements.
Once we get past that you get back to the Titans team from the first volume. And the fun picks up. You get a tale where Beast Boys disease has broken out and infected a school in the Bay Area. And only one man can save them, a Doctor that used to work with Garth’s parents and was kind of a dick. It’s as predictable as you think but again some interesting character work.
You’ve got a sideplot of what was going on with Tim Drake at the time and that’s good.
It also continues the Wondergirl Ares stuff, Superboy Luxor stuff. And that plays into the next story you get where Superboy is suddenly sucked into the future for a few months to fight alongside the Legion of the 31st century (I’m pretty sure) and this story did hit with me. You still enjoy the characters you know but I’ve never cared much for the Legion so it was plodding along until they get back and you’ve an alternate reality grown up Teen Titans. And they turned authoritarian.
And that’s my favorite arc we get in the collection. It’s almost worth reading just for that.
Otherwise it’s alright. The art is good but it isn’t as strong on the characters as Volume 1. If you read the first one it’s worth reading this but skip he Beast Boy issues because they just drag down the collection.
3 stars.

Reprints Beast Boy #1-4, Teen Titans (3) #13-19, and Teen Titans/Legion of Super-Heroes Special #1 (January 2000-February 2005). Beast Boy is going through some changes, and when he’s wanted for murder, he’s going to have to change his priorities. Superboy finds himself trapped in the future and teamed with the Legion of Super-Heroes in an epic battle against the Fatal Five Hundred. When the Teen Titans end up ten years in the future, they find the paths they are travelling might not be what they hoped.
Written by Geoff Johns, Ben Raab, and Mark Waid, Teen Titans by Geoff Johns—Book 2 is a DC Comic Book superhero collection. Following Teen Titans by Geoff Johns—Book 1, the collection features art by Mike McKone, Tom Grummett, Justiniano, Joe Prado, and Ivan Reis. Issues in this collection were also collected in Teen Titans: Beast Boys and Girls and Teen Titans: The Future is Now.
The Marv Wolfman and George Perez New Titans were my DC gateway since they were much closer to Marvel in writing and style. The Teen Titans hit some really bad slumps along the way. Geoff Johns provided a spark to bring them back and start out a great run. This sophomore collection has some slumps, but overall the soapy fun that Johns brought back is still here.
What has always worked about the Titans is the in-team dialogues. The characters all have relationships with each other and sometimes those relationships lead to sticking points. Robin goes through some things this volume and Connor Kent tries to figure out his new life with the Kents. Some of the events are happening in other titles, but Johns does a nice job keeping it in control.
If you like Beast Boy, this is your entry in the series since it is very Beast Boy heavy. The comic includes the Beast Boy limited series (which has some fun bringing back Bette aka Flamebird), but it also leads into a storyline among the Titans dealing with Beast Boy’s past. Beast Boy was never my favorite Titans so it makes the start of this book a bit tough, but it does help improve the character.
The last part of the book feels like set-up for most of Johns’ bigger plans. The trip to the future smartly gives highlights over events coming up for the Titans, and it does it without giving away too much. The “future Titans” storyline does have some payoff, but with all the multiple event series, much of the Titans of the future’s storylines are rather moot today.
Teen Titans by Geoff Johns—Book 2 is a fun read. You get a good balance of classic and modern comics, and you have some decent storytelling. It is an easy book to pick-up and put down (something that isn’t always the case today). If you are fans of any of the characters in this collection, it is worth checking it out because it is some of their best characterizations. Teen Titans by Geoff Johns—Book 2 is followed by Teen Titans by Geoff Johns—Book 3.

When I picked up Teen Titans Book One my expectations were pretty average. I was looking for a break from my Superman and Batman books... TT Book One was my first TPB of the Titans and I had nothing else to compare it too.
What a blast Book One was! So my expectations for Book Two were really high and I was prepared to be let down.
WRONG! Book Two was just amazing and I can honestly say I prefer book Two!!
Book Two starts out with a few issues detailing a murder story with Beast Boy at it's center. This was a great story and while I didn't understand who the Villian was... it was a totally new character to me, I enjoyed the story.
Once these Beast Boy issues are done we get started with Teen Titans 13 and onward.
The long and short of this is a time travel story that has the Teen Titans teaming up with the Legion of Superheroes in 31st Century and then being sent to a bizarre past/future facing off with alternate versions of themselves.
I just dug every aspect of this story.
Coming off having read Batman Damned which was disappointingly confusing... and the Batman Court of Owls, Batman City of Owls and Batman Death of the Family... which were pretty good but in some ways pretty stupid, Batman having to navigate giant mazes comes of pretty dumb for example...
Any case I really enjoyed this book and loved the ending where superboy goes to meet his father, I'm itching to pick up Book Three and hope it can live up to the solid fun Book One and Two have layed out.

Então volume dois dos Titãs do Johns.
Eu achei bem chato.
Começamos com uma mini do Mutano (ele ainda se chama assim?) em carreira solo tentando voltar a ser ator. É uma história que não faz muito sentido, mas diverte. E tem a Labareda, Diquinho Grayson e o primo.
Depois, Superboy e a Moça Maravilha saem num date.
Sim, vocês sabem como funciona. O date é interrompido por uma viagem do tempo e os Titãs precisam se unir à Legião dos Super-Herois para enfrentar os Cinco Mil Fatais. A ideia é boa, um dos Fatais, o cara do machado gigante, descobriu como "cortar a realidade (!)" e, em vez de chamar coelhinhas da Playboy, chama Cinco Fatais de realidades alternativas para tocar o terror na Metrópolis do século XXXI. No final da história, algo dá errado e os Titãs vão parar em outro futuro alternativo. Um futuro em que os Titãs são um bando de moleque metido a ditador e eles precisam enfrentar a realidade deles mesmos.
Eu acho essa história péssima, uma das piores coisas que a DC já fez com os Titãs, no final, tudo volta ao normal e talvez seja bom o Superboy começar a usar o calendário lunar Pilomax para não ficar careca que nem um dos pais.

November 28, 2020Beast Boy takes center stage for most of this book, with his four-issue miniseries and main arc where a bunch of kids contract his shapeshifting powers. Both are okay. I like Gar but don’t find him as compelling as other the Titans. And while I appreciate Johns giving him attention where other writers might skip past a story like this, it’s hardly a highlight of his run.
What follows is a Legion-centric timey-wimey adventure followed by an alternate future story with slightly evil versions of the Titans. The Legion story is whatever (not a fan of them) but the second arc has some interesting moments. This type of “heroes gone evil” scenario is nothing new, though Johns manages a few creative imaginings here, especially with Conor (he clearly has plans for him later).
This is a step down from the fun, character-driven first volume. It’s not bad but probably not the best representation of Johns work on the Titans.

Geoff Johns and the Titans go great together. This iteration of the Teen Titans is my favorite. There are so many characters questioning their place in the team and in the world, much like most people their age (whatever age that might be). The Beast Boy solo story was super dated but still was a great look into Gar's life. The art throughout the book was very good, especially looking at the future Titans. Overall, another fun read from Johns.

Starts with a whole lot of Beast Boy and then kicks into high gear with a battle against the Fatal Five Hundred. So many Emerald Empresses! Time travel. Legion of Superheroes. Cosmic Treadmill and it doesn’t matter who Batman is he’s always kind of a jerk.

Love this series.
This series is really good. I highly recommend it for all ages. Glad they are coming to the big screen. They always deserved a shot at a movie. Go Titans!

Would be a four, nearly a five star book if it wasn't for that 4 issue Beast Boy series. Pretty dreadful when compared to the other stuff in these books, which is honestly pretty great.
