Titans and my Love of Raven!


For Christmas, or Yule, or whatever people would like to call the holiday where I get presents in winter, my boyfriend gave me 18 of the Titans comics. I am missing 1, 4 and 20 but I am looking forward to finding them and adding them to my collection. I also want to start collecting Teen Titans and Titans GO! I have a small addiction, I know.

I have now read 2, 3, 5-12 and I need to purchase some of the Vigilante comics to finish the Deathtrap story line either this weekend or next. I have found a need a small list of outside comics to finish some of the story lines in Titans, which I believe is a great marketing technique to get readers to purchase more titles. I need some Teen Titans, some Justice League, some Vigilante and a few others.

The beginning of the story line was introductory and gracefully moved to a Raven heavy feel introducing her brothers! Did you know Raven had siblings? How awesome is that…well it isn’t cause they are evil, big shocker, but still interesting.

Raven is the sin called ‘Pride’ the root of all sins and she becomes to realize that the Raven she is around the Titans may not be the real Raven that maybe she is truly evil. Oh Raven you truly are my favorite character.

The comics are also dealing with the Raven/Beast Boy relationship that I am completely supportive of! I love the cover of number 5 with Raven and Beast Boy holding hands, it’s just so well done…and what is that, new artists! I truly suggest this comic to anyone and everyone; it is cute and funny for the young and has nice adult themes with some drama for more advanced or mature readers.

I’m sad that Raven and Beast Boy will probably never truly be together, she keeps pushing him away and has truly hurt him, but in my hopes and dreams they are always together, some comedy to light up Raven oh so dark life.

The team seems to be in turmoil, breaking up, then banding together to fight Trigon (again), and now the Jericho fiasco! Well I won’t ruin too much more, but this series is truly amazing and I know I’m behind being on number 12 when there are over 20 out there, but I’m working on it!
