15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

On Wednesday we learned that DC will be launching their "All In" initiative this October. In addition to the announcement of a brand new "Absolute Universe", a number of new creative teams and storylines in the main universe will be starting at the same time. Now with the release of October's official solicitations, we know…
Raven’s brother Trilogy goes after the team in the hopes of winning Trigon's approval in this issue of Titans. I'll start off by saying what I like here. It's fun to have an issue that mostly centers on the interplay between Trilogy, Trigon and Raven. This isn't really a story about the Titans so much…
Raven is under the control of Trigon and manipulating her way toward world dominance in Titans #9. Writer Tom Taylor offers readers a solid second part of the "Dark-Winged Queen" arc in which the team navigates Beast Boy’s public relations nightmare while Trigon works to take control of earth. What I appreciated most about this…
We've made it to the end! Like any uncomfortably long and rough road trip, all I want to do is get out and kiss the ground. Before Tom Taylor's Beast World ends, the heroes must figure out how to stop Dr. Hate and Amanda Waller's plans. Show Your Work I don't know when or how,…
Tom Taylor continues to guide the Titans through their first and possibly last time leading a crisis. As the tension and collateral rises, Amanda Waller pulls the trigger at just the right time to undermine the heroes. Let's take a look! Pain, Confusion, Fear, and Loss Where the heroes have begun to run out of…
The first major challenge Gardner Fox presents for his Justice League in Brave In The Bold #28 (1960) is the conqueror, Starro. Throughout the decades, Starro would return, even reincarnating as the innocent "Jarro" in Scott Snyder's No Justice (2018). After the Justice League disbanded, it makes sense to christen the Titans with their own…
As the Out Of The Shadows arc comes to a close, the Titans conclude the first act of the series' most pressing issues. Firstly, Beast Boy continues his mission to challenge the way the Titans save the day. Most importantly, Nightwing solves the mystery of Wally's death using his own methods. Yet, the Titans still…
Titans #4 slows down Tom Taylor's epic to focus on the smaller gears moving the story. As the Titans question their new direction and Wally's impending death, other sinister elements develop before the Titans can realize. One Good Deed At A Time Taylor circles back to the symbiotic relationship between Beast Boy and Raven. Comparatively,…
The Titans have had enough of Brother Blood and his new Church of Blood. Although Sebastian Sanger dedicates himself to a rebrand as a televangelist, the heroes aren't taking any chances. Meanwhile, the shadow of The Flash's future death heavily weighs on the team. As a reminder, the Flash will die 48 hours in the…
Knight Terrors is the nightmare that keeps giving. Every time I think we've finally reached the end, we uncover yet another layer of the dream. In particular, although the Titans escape the haunted tower, they quickly discover that leaving the dream won't be so easy. All That I Am The primary mystery leading this tie-in…
Knight Terrors has taken over the DC Universe! A mysterious villain called Insomnia haunts the dreams of the heroes and villains in search of a powerful artifact. Yet, Insomnia didn't account for heroes like the Titans to find a way to fight their way out of his nightmare. Haunted Part one of a continuing story,…
The Titans face nonstop challenges within the first twenty-four hours of officially stepping up as Earth's newest defenders! As the heroes struggle to measure up, several mysteries await them, including a shocking death in the family. The New Teen Titans Who are the "Teen Titans?" Depending on who you ask, several iterations may come to…
The Dawn Of DC is finally upon us. After the death and return of the Justice League in Joshua Williamson's Dark Crisis, Nightwing and the Titans become the premiere team in the DCU. Unfortunately, the target on their back grows larger and larger as the Titans settle into their new position. Forever & A Daze…
Ben Oliver's cover for Titans #30 really rubs it in your face, doesn't it? At the beginning of Rebirth, Titans was one of the most promising titles, tying in closely to DC Universe: Rebirth and featuring a loveable group of heroes whose history together made them feel like real people. The quality of the series…
In Titans #28, Dan Abnett delivered a script packed with character progression, logical plotting, plausible decisions, mischievous humour, and an uplifting message about persevering in the face of adversity. In Titans #29, he’s thrown all of this out the Boom Room window. If you were enjoying the long festival of misery that was Titans then you…
In Justice League #10, Aquaman met the Triumvirate of Sea Gods, an invading force which flooded the Earth. The Titans are weakened, still coming to terms with the news that their friend and leader Nightwing has been shot in the head (in Batman #55). How will they cope with the Drowned Earth, and can Dan…
If you’re looking for a traditional comic book featuring good guys merrily punching bad guys in the face, Titans is often the right place to look. Issue #27, on the other hand, foregoes action in favour of a downbeat story dealing with the recent tragedies that have befallen the team. The events in question have…
This week in Titans, Dick and Donna get new coats! Also, the team are on the trail of the Blood Cult, who have nefarious plans for the Source Wall energy. Given that the Boom Room can travel anywhere, I wondered in my review for issue #25 whether the team would ever travel outside the United…
The first few pages of Titans #25 had me feeling a little deflated. I rolled my eyes when I saw yet another mindless leviathan on the first page, and felt that pages were being wasted when the whole team reiterated their latest Source Wall theories a few times, checked in and took their instructions via…
I think it's fair to say that Snyder, Tynion, Abnett and Williamson currently have free reign to introduce whatever crazy concepts they like into their books with the excuse that anything can and will happen with the collapse of the Source Wall. Abnett takes full advantage of the situation in Titans #24 by adding a…
