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.

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.

Cosmic DC tends to make my eyes glaze over but the character work is top notch. I wish I could do half stars on here, this is more so a 3.5 then a 4 but I'd still recommend it
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2017
The New Teen Titans were introduced in 1980 at the beginning of a transitional period for DC comics. As someone who collected comics in the 70’s I can tell you it was not a great decade. There were pockets of greatness but overall the art and often the writing were pretty poor. New Teen Titans was a harbinger of things to come and with the mid 80’s DC, in my opinion, reached its artistic peak. It was in the mid 80’s that the comic industry decided to say the hell with the comic code and that opened up all new story possibilities.

When DC decided to create their mega event, Crisis on Infinite Earths, they called on Marv Wolfman and George Perez, the creators of the New Teen Titans so that tells you something about the level of respect they earned. I confess that I don’t LOVE Marv Wolfman’s writing. He is a product of the 60’s and 70’s and includes a lot of excessive expository dialogue as well as writing characters that can be incredibly annoying. I’m looking at you Beast Boy (Changling). On the other hand, in one issue Wolfman and Perez managed to create three characters (Starfire, Raven and Cyborg) that have endured to this day and remain very popular. In fact Cyborg has managed to reach the top tier with his inclusion in the upcoming Justice League movie. Not only that but issue two introduces Deathstroke who at the time was called Deathstroke the Terminator.

The Omnibus features their introduction in DC Comics Presents #26 and the first 20 issues. This is actually the second time DC has produced a New Teen Titans Omnibus, the first one released in 2011. Although the product description for the original Omnibus lists it containing the first 16 issues the reviews reveal it features the first 20 which makes sense since both Omnibus have almost exactly the same page count, the original has 684 and the new version has 688. This might be due to the new four page introduction by Marv Wolfman. The physical dimensions are exactly the same but since I don’t own the first Omnibus I can’t comment on the image quality. As far as I can tell this is essentially a re-release of the Omnibus with some cosmetic changes. DC also released archive versions starting in 1999 but those are inferior to the Omnibus books and pretty much every way possible unless you have difficulties with the physical size of the Omnibus books, and some people do.

The stories here definitely have an 80’s feel to them but having read a lot of recent Rebirth stories they don’t look bad in comparison. For what you get the price is fantastic and I highly recommend picking the book up.

Read these when they first came out, and they still hold up. Even though there is some conflict and tension between the heroes,that kind of tension may be a bit too on the light side for some modern reader, who may find their sticky good fellowship cloying. Really solid intro to the new team, they are definitely not side kicks here, except for maybe Beast boy (just kidding, just kidding). Of course the artwork is superlative, and the writers got a lot of plot as well as characterization in each issue. Superhero comics the way I like 'em.

The Teen Titans are tied with the X-Men for my favorite superhero team, and this collection really brings back fond memories of reading these stories growing up. The gorgeous George Perez art and masterful storytelling from Marv Wolfman really cements this series As one of the great comic book runs. Highly recommended for any old-school Teen Titans fans.

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

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.
