Teen Titans #1

I really enjoyed Teen Titans. Definitely had the younger hero vibe down pat. I'm a little confused how Tim Drake as Red Robin is forming this team if the old Batman continuity is continuing into the current DCnU. That's why this whole deal would've been better off as a complete reboot. But in any case, we see Tim picking his members and we are introduced to them in much the same way we saw in JL #1. This book was just geared toward the younger demographic. It's also a perfect complement to the Superboy series. Which, of course, should be no surprise since they're both written by Scott Lobdell. But I've seen many a books that are supposed to play off each other and fail miserably at it. Not here though. If you liked Superboy, you should try this book out. The only drawback is the art. It's not bad, mind you. I've always liked Brett Booth's work. But over the years, he's made his character's bodies look longer and longer. It's distracting in some places. The coloring is handled well, though. Very energetic. I am interested to see who the characters on the cover that weren't introduced yet turn out to be, because they look like no one I know from the old DCU. Another strong team book, which seems to be the real strength of the DCnU.
