Publisher Description
The sequel to the NEW YORK TIMES best-selling original graphic novel is here with TEEN TITANS: EARTH ONE VOL. 2! Picking right up after the cliffhanger ending to the first volume, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Terra and Aqualad are in desperate straits-they're homeless, destitute, and on the run from Cadmus, the project that created them. Unfortunately, Cadmus has more surprises up its sleeve... and a whole new set of teenage weapons, with none of the bothersome morals of the originals! From writer Jeff Lemire (SWEET TOOTH, ANIMAL MAN) and illustrator Andy McDonald comes the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed original graphic novel in TEEN TITANS: EARTH ONE VOL. 2!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Rather than more minor tinkering with the teenaged super-hero team, this graphic novel is a full-scale reboot: what if, in an alternative world, circumstances brought together young people who echo the regular Teen Titans but are totally different people? High school student Victor Stone, for example, finds that parts of his body are turning to metal, so that he becomes a cyborg but not the familiar Cyborg! This new character is one of a group of kids who have special powers because they were created as experiments by nefarious (adult) scientists, using technology from an alien space ship that crashed decades ago. The insensitive adults also have imprisoned a surviving alien child Starfire. Lemire's (Essex County) script exploits teen angst efficiently and with some fresh imagination, while the Dodsons (Wonder Woman) produce lovely art, especially in panels showing Navajo seer Raven. If it's all a formula brave teens vs evil adults it's still one that works for the new readers this is aimed at.
