This is the kind of book I would have loved to read as a teenager. Don't get me wrong - I loved it fine as an adult, but reading that ten years ago? Would have done me a world of good.
It's the beginning of the new Teen Titans, with Robin, Superboy, Wondergirl and Kid Flash. It has an ok plot, but the overall theme is each of them trying to find a place in the world, an identity that is their own, somewhere to fit in. Which is why I would have loved to read it as a teenager, but also why I loved to read it yesterday.

I dig it, it makes me interested in many of the ancillary characters. I'm interested to see where this goes. I also enjoyed the art a great deal.

Author Information
Geoff Johns was born in 1973 in Detroit, Michigan. As a child, Johns and his brother first discovered comics through an old box of comics they found in their grandmother's attic, which included copies of Flash, Superman, Green Lantern, Batman from the 1960s and 1970s. Johns eventually began to patronize a comics shop in Traverse City, recalling show more that the first new comics he bought were Crisis on Infinite Earth and Flash, as the latter was his favorite character. As Johns continued collecting comics, he gravitated toward DC Comics and later Vertigo Comics, and also drew comics. After graduating from Clarkston High School in 1991, he studied media arts, screenwriting, film production and film theory at Michigan State University and graduated from Michigan State in 1995. Johns met up with DC Comics personnel Eddie Berganza who invited Johns to tour the DC Comics offices, and offered Johns the opportunity to pitch ideas, which led to Johns pitching Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E., a book based on the second Star-Spangled Kid and her stepfather, to editor Chuck Kim a year later. John's soon became a regular writer on such series as The Flash and The Avengers United. He also writes for series such as Teen Titans and The Future is Now. His title Earth One made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2012. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
