About the Author

One of the most prolific and influential writers in modern comics, Marv Wolfman began his career as an artist. Realizing that his talents lay more in writing the stories than in drawing them, Wolfman soon became known for his carefully crafted, character-driven tales.

In a career that has spanned nearly 30 years, Wolfman has helped shape the heroic careers of DC Comics' Green Lantern, Blackhawk and the original Teen Titans, as well as Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Nova. In addition to co-creating THE NEW TEEN TITANS and the universe-shattering CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS with George Pérez, Wolfman was instrumental in the revamp of Superman after CRISIS, the development of THE NEW TEEN TITANS spinoff series VIGILANTE, DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR and TEAM TITANS, and created such characters as Blade for Marvel, along with NIGHT FORCE and the retooled DIAL "H" FOR HERO for DC.

In addition to his numerous comic-book credits, Wolfman has also written several novels and worked in series television and animation, including the Superman cartoon of the late 1980s and currently the hit Teen Titans show on Cartoon Network. His novelization of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS was published in the spring of 2005 by iBooks.

Just as entertaining today as it was when Jimmy Carter was in the White House!

A lot of us middle-aged comics fanboys grew up on THE NEW TEEN TITANS, written by Marv Wolfman and drawn by George Pérez. Thirty-five years later, this popular relaunch of a previously cheesy (though often fun) title about DC's young superhero sidekicks holds up very well.

Volume One includes the first eight issues as well as the special introductory insert from DC COMICS PRESENTS no. 26. The mysterious Raven assembles a team of heroes (Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Changeling, Starfire and Cyborg) to help her defeat her demon father, Trigon the Terrible. Also, we get the first appearances of Deathstroke the Terminator, the H.I.V.E. and the Fearsome Five.

Yeah, the stories were heavy on soap opera. But these Titans were almost immediately more interesting than the same era's Batman, Superman, Flash and other DC heroes whose personalities hadn't changed much in ages. Issue no. 8's "A Day in the Lives," a look at the individual Titans on their day off, is a case in point. Who else was spending 22 pages exploring the lives of heroes while they were off-duty?

The Pérez artwork is lovely - and it just got stronger as the series continues! These issues look better than most comics on the stands today.

This book makes a fine read for Titans newbies who are curious because of the modern media references (two animated Titans series on Cartoon Network, a live-action Titans series in the works, live-action appearances by various Titans characters in television and movies) or aging Titans fans who can't locate their old comics in the battered long boxes anymore.

Whew! I have thoroughly enjoyed spending a morning going back through this comic book while waiting for people to need me at work. I used to collect these back in middle school and then through high school. It would take me years to get back to comics again, but these are some of the best!

The introduction says it all. Marv & George gave us the best hero team of all. My only regret was that they never teamed up in the annual Justice League/Justice Society crossovers that DC published in the 70's and 80's
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2017
While the heroes of this amazing, consequential series affected the whole DCU - and still do - it all had to start somewhere. I freely admit that I'm a soft touch for a "kid" version of an otherwise established hero, but I have been reading the adventures of this particular team since I was 6 years old, and, one trade paperback into a re-read of my favorite super-hero team ever and nearly 40 years later, I'm happy to keep right on recommending them - Wolfman's stories still work, and work well, and Perez's art is simply top notch.
Get addicted! And get a kid you know into them as well.

In the 1980's The New Teen Titans became DC's answer to Claremont's X-Men. This wasn't the first time the Titans got a book (hence the word 'new' in the title) but it's the first time the team really hooked readers and became a staple of the DC universe. Understand, this is not a book who's value rests soley in its historical significance. It's not like some older books that just don't hold up by today's standards. Both artistically and writing-wise, this book still very much holds up and is an excellent read. I say this as someone who has never read these stories before. I've read some of the later issues but never read the beginning of the Wolfman/Perez run. This book takes the original founding Titans members of Robin, Wonder Girl and Kid Flash, adds in Beast Boy (Who now goes by Changeling) and introduces 3 new characters: Cyborg, Star Fire and Raven.

This collection kicks off with the 16 page 'Special Titans Preview' that is an original story included in DC Comics Presents 26 and includes issues 1-8 of the series. It includes a 3 page intro by Marv Wolfman explaining how the New Teen Titans came to be (although it's dated November 7, 1998, so surely not the first time this has been printed. Also included are Titans pinups by George Perez, originally published in the first annual and Titans Spotlight 1-4. As far as extras go, that's it.

Also disappointing is the page quality. The book has an MSRP of $19.99 so it uses the cheaper, more news-print-like paper. Unlike the New 52 books that all have nice glossy paper. It's a shame they went this route, since these comics have been out long enough they deserve a really nice commemorative collection. But I suppose using this paper lets them keep the price down and allows more new readers to jump on.

I took a star off for the lack of extras and average page quality. If you're a collector who has read these issues, there's probably no reason to buy this. But if you're like me and haven't already read these issues (or you have but it's been so long you barely remember them), this is a great way to read some really fantastic comics. I would especially recommend this title to people who enjoyed the Titans cartoon. This is the run that series was based on.

COMENTARIO SOBRE EDICION TAPA BLANDA.

Voy a hablar de la edicion ya que , de las historias ya sabemos todos que es casi lo mejor de DC de los 80/90.

Buscaba algo para dejar descansar mis grapas de Zinco que se me caen a trozos , pero ese papel brillante o satinado de las nuevas ediciones ,en mi opinion , no va bien para el tipo de color que se usaban en esa epoca y los omnibus no me convencian .
Estos tomos tienen un papel poroso(ofset) y el color queda exacto y muchisimo mejor . Si que , es verdad, el papel es un poco fino ,un poco mas de gramaje no le iria nada mal , pero al precio que tienen , suelen estar en oferta , esta perfecto .
El tamaño es justo comic book USA , esta bien y es el que tenian de origen , pero un poco mas grande hubiera sido genial para ver a Perez en detalle.

El tema de extras , esta bien, alguna Ilustración , articulo o algun numero/historia inéditos pero no muchos .
Para mi es buena compra . Seguramente cuando empiece la edicion Baxter ( La nueva coleccion destinada para las librerias especializadas a partir del 44 de esta serie), que ya tenia mejor papel, si que sea mejor la calidad de los Omnibus

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Comics of the last century.
Reviewed in Germany on October 14, 2020
This collection of the beginning of the New Teen Titans is presented in a nice paperback, featuring the gathering of the team, their fight against Trigon and the first encounters with the fearsome five. Beside being legendary, the comics brings great stories and awesome artwork with it. Definitly worth it.
