There is a reason why "The New Teen Titans" were cancelled. They are all incredibally deep characters, with interesting histories and personalities that come out as the plot goes on, but the older series simply relies too much on superhero cliches, and does not explore or any individual's (ie Terra's) motivation nearly enough. If you want a good Teen Titans read, buy the Raven Rising arc in the current series.
