Teen Titans Vol. 1: Full Throttle

So, Damian abandons his newly founded Teen Titans team during the first issue of this book and sets out to create a new team that will 'toe the line.' The new(er? new again?) Teen Titans team are more like antiheroes than heroes - though whether or not the rest would approve of Robin's little prison is a murky issue considering they don't know about it - and they're a mess for most of this book; the cast of characters is so discordant I almost gave up on it. They only really start to gel as a team during the last issue of this TPB, and they've still got a loooong way to go.I like Djinn and Crush, and Roundhouse was starting to grow on me by the end. However, Kid Flash and Red Arrow are both iffy characters for me, bordering on unlikable. Maybe it's that I only have room in my heart for one overly difficult, controlling, angsty teenager and Damian has already claimed the spot. I may or may not read more of this when it comes out; I haven't decided.

This was better than I thought it would be. Like the new team, even if it's formula. The characters are solid. It's not explained really how Djinn was located, but she reminds me of Raven. Crush satisfies the alien part as well as the muscle, Roundhouse(dumb name) is the Cyborg, Red Arrow(annoying. Moreso than Damien shockingly) is Speedy/Arsenal, with Kid Flash and Robin being...... different than previously seen.Without spoiling it, I like where this could go. Don't think it will cuz of the league. But I have to agree with Robin, something needs to change. His way has problems, but it's a good start down the right path.

A fun read and left enough questions about the characters for me to want to read the next volume.

Robin gets a new team of Titans as a soft reboot of the run introduces us to many interesting new characters that compliment each other perfectly. You can buy into the dysfunction this team has while also connecting with their struggles to overcome personal issues to be an actual team. And while grooming this new team, Robin is searching for the mysterious Other, someone rumored to be the mastermind behind organized crime by super villains.

Book came wrapped in plastic and packaged well.No scratches or bends and for half the price of the book. The story was okay.

J'avoue avoir un peu survolé ce volume 1, Robin est toujours aussi passionnant, dire que dans le new 52 je le détestais, depuis qu'il s'est émancipé de son père et que les scénaristes nous le font jouer la carte du petit leader intransigeant je l'adore ! Le voir réagir aux erreurs de ses coéquipiers est toujours succulent.Le premier tiers de ce volume 1 est excellent, une présentation par personnage de la situation et du recrutement, j'avoue que la seconde moitié de la BD m'a un peu désintéressé, j'ai trouvé qu'on retombait dans des travers scénaristiques assez attendu, même si le principe de la prison secrète développé par Damian en cachette, qu'on retrouve dans Deathstroke T6, est franchement sympa. Aucune mauvaise note à proprement parler, je pense juste que l'ensemble du casting est surtout là pour faire vivre des aventures à Damian et en ce sens, c'est réussi mais l'intrigue générale sort bien trop peu du lot. La bande ensemble est sympa et je lirais les 2 volumes qui suivent mais sans trop d'attente.Artistiquement réussie mais conventionnelle, on reste là aussi sur du "sans surprise". Si j'avais pu mettre une note plus exact, je trouve que 3 étoiles et demie auraient été plus juste !

Prefiero no formar una opinión al respecto -aún-, pero tiene sus pros y contras.
