Teen Titans: Raven Paperback – Illustrated, 2 July 2019

SO GOOD. Loved the art and the storyline. Absolutely adored Max!! Definitely my fave character aside from Raven. So much great representation in this too!! It had Black, Disability (wheelchair, crutches), Muslim - Hijabi, Asian, POC, & WLW representation.TW/CW - Car crash (graphic); Death of a parent (graphic); Adoption; Foster care; Bullying (detailed); Suicide ideation (brief mention); Parental abuse (past); Kidnapping (mentioned); Sex trafficking (mentioned); Abandonment

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I have been a big fan of the Teen Titans for a good few years now, and particularly a fan of Raven, I like the character archetype and the obvious parallels to being an outsider and feeling alienated as a teenager, and this book really leans into that for the younger reader. The art is beautiful, and for me really complements and captures a lot of the angst.I recognise that some people will not be a fan of the nature of the character, or the way it is written, as this is an attempt to appeal to a young adult audience, but without spoilers I will say that I found it engaging, emotional and easy to read.

This was the most amazing comic I have ever read.Thank you so much for this,it is just like art work.

A perfect book for young teens exploring the genre. There is just the right amount of flirting and then the big Daddy reveal comes and it gets very clever indeed.

Bought for 9yo daughter. She thought this book was amazing, picking up the 2nd Beast Boy book soon to continue the story. 10/10 from her.

Gift for my daughter and she loved it

My daughter read this in one afternoon and loved it from start to finish. Her description of it was that it was easy to read, interesting story and good artwork.

Maybe I'm just pretty easily satisfied, but this was another 5 star read for me. I've been eyeing it on my shelf since I bought it a couple weeks ago, and so today while continuing to drag myself through The Devil's Thief I eventually gave up in favour of reading this instead.Previously my main point of reference for these characters probably would have been from Titans and while I liked Raven in that, she definitely wasn't my favourite character (that place was reserved for Gar and only Gar), so reading this I was surprised by how much more I liked her.I also got myself a phat crush on Max.I loved the art style a lot, and the colours, I've decided that Gabriel Picolo is now one of my favourite illustrators and I absolutely cannot wait to get Beast Boy in 2020.
