This was my favorite TT comic of the day! I absolutely loved the storylines!
As a fan of Zombies & rock, the first story had my childhood heart skyrocketing! Why did no one tell me sooner about this TT Zombie “AU.” Also, just Starfire crying at a rock concert during a screamo part hit me in the, “wow, I’m really like her after all” feels. ~ I really thought the Red X robot plot was clever & wish it had been in the tv show. ~ I love how they swapped powers as well & Star and Cyborg once again had a heart to heart about language and care. 🥹 Seriously, these two are role models, & a lot of people could learn from them.

I got in on the original Teen Titans cartoon really late. I started towards the very end, yet was excited by all the cool extra characters like Jericho, Aqualad, and such. As a result, when Teen Titans Go! hit airwaves, I was front on center for the first episode.
Needless to say, the more goofy take on the Teen Titans took a while to grow on me. But grow on me they did! Now I can't miss an episode. It's a permanent segment on my DVR.
However, I must point out some additional confusion between the original Teen Titans series and Teen Titans Go! When it comes to the comic book based on the original animated series, DC Comics issued the series as Teen Titans Go! See where I'm going with this???
If you read my blog to any extent, you will know that my local library is one of my favorite places to pick up comics and graphic novels in order to save money. So when I saw this volume of Teen Titans Go! in the new release section last week, I went all Beast Boy over it. I'm pretty sure I exclaimed 'We got some Teen Titans Go! up in here, Yo!'
Anyways, so one night I grabbed this volume and began to read it.Almost immediately, I knew this is comic is not based on the goofy version of the Titans that currently airs on Cartoon Network. Nope, this series is based on the show that aired from 2003-2006 and was probably 80% serious.
Confusing, huh? So to help- here's a chart:
*If the Teen Titans GO! comic was originally published from 2003-2008, it's based on the first series.
* If the comic Teen Titans Go! was published originally from 2014- the present, its based on the comedy series that came afterwards.
- Note: With DC reissuing the earlier collections with new covers, it's even more confusing. So double check original publication copyright dates.
--Another Note: The reissues do not match up with the original trade paperback releases. Volume 4: Ready for Action (2005) reprints issues 16-20. This volume from 2017 reprints issues 19-25. So mix-and-matching volumes is not advised unless you like buying multiple copies of stories.
Now, don't misunderstand this clarification as a critique on my enjoyment of this book. These stories, that feature rock n' roll zombies, deadly video games, a Freaky-Friday like adventure and the heroes of Titans East, was a very laid-back read. Sometimes you just need the level of drama turned down a couple of notches and this volume did not disappoint.
Plus, there's a Christmas adventure which caused me great joy and consternation. I literally spent 15 minutes trying to decide whether to read it now or wait 6 more months. Can you guess which idea won out? To sum up the character of Cyborg:
IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY, PEOPLE!

Strangely enough this has the same name as the digest #4 of Teen Titans Go! (Not the current Baby Titans). God I hope I didn’t buy what amounts to a size change!
”Song of the Dead” is as in Teen Titans Go! Digest #4.
”Secret Moves” is the same story as in Teen Titans Go! Digest #4.
”Garsaurus Rex!” is actually a reprint from Teen Titans Go! Digest #5: On the Move. But that doesn’t make it better.
”The Book” is also a reprint from Teen Titans Go! Digest #5: On the Move.
”Listen” is also a reprint from Teen Titans Go! Digest #5: On the Move.
”Knockoff!” is also a reprint from Teen Titans Go! Digest #5: On the Move.
”Power Failure” is also a reprint from Teen Titans Go! Digest #5: On the Move.
”Secret Santa” is also a reprint from Teen Titans Go! Digest #5: On the Move.
So this whole book was a screw-job of reprints.
Now should you get it? Do you already have the digest sized versions? Then no.
Do you like regular comic size better than digest size?
Do you have all the other Teen Titans (not Baby Titans) comics that are also regular size?
Can you find your receipt to take it back to the store where you purchased it?
No wonder comic sales are down. All the ways comics have figure out how to screw you is what made me stop reading them in the first place!!
1 star for deceptive marketing.

A mismatched hodge podge of styles and storylines, some without firm conclusions.
I found the side jokes overly corny and more of a distraction than a commonality.
I liked the characters, but would have enjoyed more thoughtful development and plots for them.

I just love all of these so much. The characterization of the Titans is so true to the show and the comic issues feel like episodes, they don’t feel like just filler tie-in bonus content. The comics are all so cute and reading them makes me nostalgic.

Not for me, but I'm not the target.

1.5 STARS - The series is still a bit juvenile at times but overall it's a fun read.

I’ll do anything for more original teen titans content. Literally anything.
