Wow this might be my favorite volume so far. Feels the most fresh and fun while also not some crazy weird storyline jumping everywhere with event tie ins.
We mostly have the one year time skip (one year later DC promoted) and get to see the "All New-All Different tians" now. Robin is still leader but Kid Devil and Revenger have joined the crew. This isn't your typical team up anymore. Then you also have Cyborg who is trying to find his old crewmates and find out what the heck happen to them.
It's fun and exciting adventure with a bunch of broken teens trying to figure shit out. Sure they make Revenger a bit sex hungry, and Kid Devil is a interesting design...nightcrawler....but yeah it worked for the most part. Teen angst, fun fight scenes, team working together, all the things you want in a teenage superhero book.
A 4 out of 5.

Pretty good, but I feel like I am missing a volume because so much has happened in the year they skip over. The titans are dealing with lots of issues and trying to grow. The art is good, if sometimes it fells a little rough. Looking forward to more Raven plot!

A few decent moments and the four of the six issues herein that were drawn by Tony Daniels managed to keep this collection from a one-star rating. My biggest beef: I didn't know just anyone could walk up and remove half of Cyborg's head without even a tool or access code (something at least!). No, evidently you can just pluck it right off as long as he's bound or unconscious...or just lets you. Ugh.

In the wake of Infinite Crisis, the team tries to weather the changes.
This is a solid volume, but the changes dictated by that shake-up will serve to provide diminishing returns for the series. Again we see a dramatic turn towards the Deathstroke as ultimate adversary formula. While I like Deathstroke in small doses, he was a villain that defined the classic Wolfman/Perez run of the book. I had always hoped Johns would strike out and create/use a villain of his own to define his run.
Still, read this if only to see that Titans can work without "big name" sidekicks or classic Titans filling the roster.

Teen Titans reform after the Infinite Crisis and have a crossover with the Doom Patrol trying to get Gar back. The Doom Patrol is being ridiculously manipulated by one of its members -- seriously, how is every five-year-old kid in the area not pointing and laughing at their gullibility? -- and the Teen Titans are having an insecurity-fest. There are some neat character moments for Robin, Ravager, and Kid Devil, though.

The Titans are in a disarray. Cyborg wakes up after the events in Infinite Crisis, and tris to get the team back together. There's a couple of good stories here with Doom patrol and a chase around the world trying to find someone. Lots of good character stuff, you end up knowing the new members of the Titans quite quickly. A very good read.

The best of the Titans bind-ups that I have read as of late. I enjoy Kid Devil and espeially Ravager joining the team. Also, a PO'd Cassie adds more depth to a great character. A great read and I am looking forward to what Deathstroke has instore for them next.

Jumps forward a year from the last volume. If it seems like you're jumping right into the middle of a story--you are. All comics at this time at DC jumped forward 1 year to create some mystery and provide a "jumping on" point for new readers. This volume actually does that pretty well.

I love the edition of Ravager to the team. The book started off a little confusing and different, but overall I really enjoyed it!

The New Teen Titans (#34-37). Johns gets a big kick in the butt from the One-Year Gap, and uses it better than just about anyone else, to not only reform the Titans team, but also give it an intriguing year of lost history. Rose and Eddie are both great additions, then the team-up with the Doom Patrol and the super-gaslighting Chief is a fun diversion. Not only do we get some perspective on all of the Titans' battles against the Brother of Evil, but we also get a rather shocking secret origin of the Brain. All around, a nice arc (or pair of arcs, really) [4+/5].
Titans around the World (#38-41). Johns keeps going with the repercussions of the the One-Year Gap and effortlessly introduces a trio of new teen heroes: Zachary Zatara, Bombshell and Miss Martian. They're all intriguing characters, and of course Miss Martian has quickly become a favorite. This volume also continues to give great characterization to Rose, and with a few more returns really solidifies a new Titans team that's every bit as great s the one that kicked off Johns' run [5/5].

Some people are frustrated with what the 52 series did to DC’s ongoing series at the time, namely disrupting ongoing storylines and forcing people into the One Year Later stories. Now, I think 52 is great, but I agree that a lot of the One Year Later volumes are messy, especially with the distance of time.
This volume, however, is an example of One Year Later done right, probably because writer Geoff Johns was one of the architects of 52 and therefore was able to prepare for this moment better than other creators. Yes, it jumps ahead a year, but uses Cyborg’s time in a coma as a means for framing this jump. We get to know the new team with efficiency and then jump into a storyline that moves nicely along, culminating in the return of a classic Teen Titans character I was happy to see.
Plus, it was fun to see the Doom Patrol.

One Year Later ! Infinite Crisis est passé, maintenant on se retrouve avec un gap d'un an, ce qui entraîne forcément beaucoup de changements. L'équipe n'est plus la même et on apprend qu'elle a passé par beaucoup de changements dans ce laps de temps.
Un arc vraiment bien amené, on se retrouve avec Cyborg qui vient lui aussi de se réveiller et il est un peu l'incarnation du lecteur qui apprend au fur et à mesure ce qui s'est passé pendant son absence.
De nouveaux persos, des anciens qui reviennent, des nouvelles intrigues qui se forment.
Bref, c'est très sympa à suivre et surtout cela laisse une liberté assez folle sur ce qui va pouvoir se passer, on est loin de la ligne tracée des précédents runs.

I really liked this. Johns does a great job of showing who these characters are and the One Year Later storyline actually helped this book, unlike so many other DC titles. The search for a traitor and what the goal actually was, was intriguing. The art by Tony Daniel was solid. Overall, a very good Titans read.

I remembered really enjoying this and seeing how the team changed years ago.
One of the most annoying parts was when Tim and Cassie kiss. I was like "Noo!!!" come on, let the girl grief and why do we need to have this romance subplot that is so cliche?

Good solid comics storytelling. I read this with my daughter and we enjoyed it quite a bit. The character interactions and developing relationships made this one feel particularly consequential to the overall narrative.

Would have been 5 stars if the art hadn't sucked in this one.

was waiting for kory to come along and she never came 💔 still enjoyed the story and loved the art as usual!

Another Titans book hampered by a crossover event. After Infinite Crisis, the main DC books skipped a year in their storyline, to make room for 52. In general, that idea paid off, because 52 was a great read. But it caused a certain amount of chaos, in Teen Titans at least. And sadly, it sounds like we missed some really good stuff.
We start the book one year after the events of Infinite Crisis, with Cyborg finally regaining consciousness. A good idea to frame the thing, since at least one character shares our confusion at everything that's happened. In that year, the previous roster of Titans have all gone their separate ways, and the current team is... Well, it's less than inspiring. Apparently, something like twenty Titans have come and gone in just a year, all leaving for one reason or another. And one of the new Titans is Ravager, daughter of Deathstroke, last seen (if I remember correctly) gouging out one of her eyes so she'd be Just Like Daddy. It's a shame that we miss all of this happening, because it sounds like it could have been a great read.
What we actually do see is a fragmented, possibly temporary team of Titans go in search of Raven. It takes a long time for the story to get going, because it is, by necessity, exposition heavy on the front end. It doesn't actually pick up until the last two or three issues. But at least it picks up then, even if the traitor storyline is completely underwhelming. It does look like a promising step forward for the book, as far as the cast of characters goes. Here's hoping.

As with life, change occurs to the Titans as well. This volume comes after the death of Superboy and a year after Infinite Crisis, so many of the changes are great. The team is not the same any more - Starfire is missing, Cy is broken, Gar is back with Doom Patrol, Bart (Kid Flash) is now THE Flash, Raven is gone and there are a bunch of Teen Titans that hadn't been there before.
Of course, this couldn't be just a meet and greet. Not in the world of Super Hero Comics. The team has been infiltrated by someone plotting against them. Immediately suspicions go to Ravager, the daughter of Deathstroke. But nothing is as it seems, and only Ravager can figure out who has gone rogue. Add to this former (dead) members returning and there's a lot happening at Titans Tower.
I enjoyed reading this one, in finding out about these characters. I was only familiar with most of them from the later-series graphic novels that I'd read (like Kid Devil, who has become one of my favorite DC characters). I knew also, because of the later-series reading that I'd done, who the traitor was. But watching the story unfold was still a wonder for me.
If you've been enjoying the Teen Titans series so far, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this one.

Huh...Apparently it sucks to be a Teen Titan. Over and over again, this book points out that joining the team was a horrible experience and everyone is glad to leave it. So, why should I care? What reasons do I have to keep reading about the struggles of this team that no one likes and everyone is leaving? This book is miserable and it leaves me feeling angry. It would be one thing if this was the way I was supposed to feel after reading it, but the ending is supposed to be heartwarming. No. Just no.

The hits keep coming as the Teen Titans deal with the events after One Year Later as the rest of the Teen Titans attempt to deal with the time apart from each other as well as the deaths of some of their comrades.
The Titans had split and its difficult getting the team together, they have all suffered and are doing what they can to move on.
All the while old enemies return and convince the Titans to come back. Adventures with the Doom Patrol against the Fearsome Five, to the return of their greatest enemy.
Really good. B-

I was a little disappointed in this one. They flashed forward one year, and everything and everyone is very different. They still have not been able to bring Superboy back, or the Flash's for that matter. Somehow this sequel just kind of fell flat, I think it was because there was so many awesome characters missing. They really need to being back Superboy, Kid Flash, Flash, Starfire, and Beast boy! It is not the Teen Titans without them.
I have high hopes for the next book.

It probbly didn't help that it's been yers since I pickd up a Teen Titns comc & didn't know/remmber who some of the charctrs were, but this volme still had some relly gret plot lines...

Unlike many of the reviews here, I loved this collection, and it's so far my favorite of the 2000s Teen Titans series. And let's face it. Kid Devil is cool.
January 16, 2016
And yet another solid installment. I'm a little worried, though. Johns only has a few more issues left credited to him before it switches over to a new writer.
July 4, 2016
After Infinite Crisis, the team undergoes a massive line-up change. Everything with Kid Devil is great. Everything else...meh.
September 11, 2016
ah yes, The Titans. Gotta love 'em
