A new original graphic novel in DC's popular "Earth One" series, TEEN TITANS: EARTH ONE follows in the tradition of SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE and BATMAN: EARTH ONE, both of which were #1 New York Times bestsellers.

The Teen Titans never felt like normal kids... but they had no idea how right they were. Their seemingly idyllic Oregon upbringing hides a secret -- one that will bring killers, shamans, and extraterrestrials down on their heads, and force them into an alliance that could shake the planet to its foundations!

Superstars Jeff Lemire (ANIMAL MAN, GREEN ARROW) and Terry Dodson (WONDER WOMAN) reinvent DC's youngest heroes, with an all-new mythos in an all-new world!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story a must have!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2016

Great Story worth every penny. I have just finished reading Teen Titans Earth One, and WOW I was blown away. The story came up to the level that I have come to expect in the Earth One Universe. After reading the Earth One Batman, and Wonder Woman, I have come to expect a high level of storytelling in these DC line. The art was good, but I think they were trying a bit to hard to give a nod to the different Teen Titans Animated series that have been on the air over the few decades. It was not bad art, but I lacked the crisp clean look that Batman, and Wonder Woman had. I love the fact that TT is getting an A level story line. Since 1965 when the Teen Titans first got its’ own title, it has been relegated to B and C level stories, and was pretty much a dumping ground for sidekicks that has gotten to old to be sidekicks any more. In the 1980s and 1990s there were a few good TT stories, but they were overshadowed by works like The Dark Knight Returns, and the Killing Joke to name a few. One of the things I think DC did right; was the way Garfield Mark "Gar" Logan's’ parents were handled. DC had decided that in the Earth One universe that his parents are a homosexual couple. It is presented as if it was not a big deal. You were not hit over the head time and time again, with the SJW identity politics club, while at the same time DC admitting that there are homosexuals, that are in the world with productive lives, and adopting children. It was well played on DC’s part. I do admit that the only reason I picked up this title was to have build a complete Earth One library. After reading it I am glad I did pick it up and look forward to getting the next Earth One Teen Titans.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Worthwhile, Short Read
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2016

This is a fun book if you enjoy Teen Titans and/or alternate versions of DC characters (I don't think they use the "Elseworlds" label anymore). This book is probably more fun than the respective Superman and Batman Earth One books, and that's appropriate, given the team. While many of the characters are basically the same in terms of their power sets, some have been pretty radically reinterpreted (e.g., Raven and Starfire). The idea of teenagers brought together to uncover a conspiracy which they, unknowingly, are at the heart of isn't a terribly new idea. It's probably most reminiscent of Gen13, but Jeff Lemire still gets a lot of narrative mileage out of the concept; for example, reinterpreting Tara's personal history yields a decent payoff in terms of both her psychology and the plot. Joey Wilson's relationship to his father is--essentially--unchanged, but that also works, playing out familiar dynamics in the new setting.

Terry and Rachel Dodson's art style is a little cartoonier than that of the Batman or Superman Earth One books, but I think it's an appropriate choice for this title. Also, that doesn't mean that the art is "bad." Far from it, it's extremely good, and I normally prefer a more realistic art style. The binding (for the hardcover edition) and page quality is also good, as expected for this line of graphic novels.

My one negative observation--and this is true to some extent for the other Earth One books--is that it's an extremely short book (144pp). I realize that the paperback is affordably priced, but even so, the same money will buy The Dark Knight Returns, at twice the length. Comparable recent New 52 releases are also generally well over 200 pages. That isn't too big a deal, but Teen Titans: Earth One doesn't actually have any real ending. One could argue that this ends the "first act," but it isn't particularly satisfying as a holistic product. Even if it's clear the story is going to continue, other graphic novels do a better job of building to a satisfying conclusion. In fairness, most of the current graphic novels collect ready-made storylines that ran in the comics, so even in a serial context, they're already self-contained stories. But given that Teen Titans didn't really have to worry about fitting in with other events or stories, I'd think that the author would be freer to shape his narrative so that it's both a serial and a satisfying story on its own.

As I say, I did enjoy the book, and since it left me wanting more, I suppose that's a positive. My only quibble is that it left me wanting more in a not-so-positive way, as well.

but I was pleasantly surprised. You have to understand, I'm an old guy. I started reading the teen titans when they were still all considered 'sidekicks'. Eventually, after many decades, I felt like the TT were kind of done... over. And then came the new 52. I hated almost everything they did with the new 52. It was the nail in the coffin for DC for me. I stopped even looking at almost all of the titles. I hated what they did with some of my favorite characters. The only treatment I actually thought they improved was Shazam (but I was in the minority there, it seems). But with Rebirth, I saw the characters being treated right again. Different, but not ruined like the new 52. Now, I have always enjoyed things like Elseworlds, with the different takes on characters, so I thought I'd give the Earth One series a try. They have all been worth the read, even Superman, who I burned out on many years ago. But this one is by far the best. I almost skipped it... it didn't look all that great... I'm glad I got it. Fresh take, without being the cluster that came with the New 52. I really enjoyed it, even though I wasn't a huge fan of the art. The style is a little cartoon-y for me. But the story makes it worthwhile.

Reformulação da história de criação dos Novos Titãs (ou Jovens Titãs) pelos olhos de Jeff Lemire, que já fez grandes trabalhos na Marvel e DC.
Não é o melhor título da série "Terra Um", mas mesmo assim é bem legal conhecer uma nova realidade desses heróis.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Entry from DC's Earth One Line-Up
Reviewed in Canada on January 13, 2015

Be warned: there are some spoilers ahead. Please skip to the final paragraph for the general recommendation.

From its announcement to its release, Teen Titans: Earth One has been the fastest DC: Earth One OGN release yet, which is fortunate, for this Volume has clearly been written with a sequel in mind. Where Superman and Batman: Earth One were tentative and implicit in their suggestions for future installments, Jeff Lemire's Teen Titans are straight-forward in their anticipation of future narrative, and depending on your expectations of this story, this could either be a very good thing or frustratingly bad considering how long it takes for the average Earth One OGN to be released.

As for the story itself, Lemire manages to redesign the group's origins in a way that releases the characters from needing to be originally sidekicks: the entire cast is in no way related to Superman, Batman, or any of the Justice League. Indeed, there is no mention of either Superman or Batman in this story, keeping the Earth One universe grounded, yet divided still. So, without the incentive of independence from heroic mentors, Lemire directs the group into another, albeit curiously familiar direction: that of Marvel's Runaways. The concept of adults as untrustworthy authority figures has been used in fiction past, but with the tinge of superheroics, this iteration of Teen Titans (I'll call them TT for short) has quite a bit in common with Runaways, though this may still be too soon to tell, as the Teens are still...developing...into Titans by the end of the volume. (Really, that wasn't meant to be a pun until I read it.) Personally, this is possibly the best choice for the TT to go in Earth One: without the group's mentors, the TT are heroes without direction, and the way Lemire chooses to bring them together provides purpose for the group, as well as a hint of mystery still regarding their origins.

For bringing the TT to the page, DC's use of Terry and Rachel Dodson is complicated; while the art is dynamic and full of the artistic ticks that define the Dodsons' art style, I'm not entirely sure if it's the kind of art style that's right for drawing teenagers/adults distinctly. Considering that the focus is on the difference between old and young characters (It's right there in the team name), I wonder if there wasn't a better choice to depict a better age gap between the TT and their guardians. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of the Dodsons, they don't disappoint in this volume, and I would consider purchasing this OGN on that merit alone.

Overall, DC: Earth One has provided another title in which there are some serious benefits and drawbacks: while the story is slow-building and the wait for its sequel will be undoubtedly long, it does bring a new angle to how the formerly sidekick-oriented team can function storytelling-wise. And its art does have a wide appeal in making these characters look stylish even while partially monstrous, though it could go even further to make the teens and adults more distinct in age. For a casual read, I'd recommend this book.

_ Inhalt: Ein abgestürztes Raumschiff, ein Experiment, sechs Jugendliche und ein großes Mysterium um ihre Herkunft. In diesem band wird ein völlig neuer Auftakt für die Teen Titans geschaffen!

_ Meinung: Aaargh, diese Earth One Ausgabe der Teen Titans bereitet mir Kopfschmerzen.
(DC veröffentlicht alternative Entstehungsgeschichten zu ihren bekannten Helden in der Hardcover-Reihe "Earth One").

Eigentlich hatte jeder Teen Titan so seinen eigenen Ursprung. In Earth One erhalten sie jedoch einen Neustart und ihr Entstehung ist verknüpft. Ein Team von Wissenschaftlern nutzt Starfires Gene, und sogar das Raumschiff, um daraus anhand von Experimenten die neuen Teen Titans zu erschaffen. Das ganze verwandelt sich dann schnell in eine Geschichte um vier Jugendliche, die wissen wollen wo sie wirklich herkommen, die sich fragen müssen "Wer sind wir wirklich?". Besonders tiefgründig wird das Thema jedoch nicht behandelt, was mich persönlich nicht gestört hat. Es ist trotz allem eine solide Superhelden-Story, wie man es an sich schon gewohnt ist. Schwerpunkt liegt wohl eher im Konzept der Earth One Ausgaben. Es gibt bei DC mehrere "Erden", bzw Dimensionen oder auch Parallel-Universen. In diesen diversen Welten sind einige Ereignisse anders verlaufen (in einem ist sogar der Joker eine Frau und dazu Batmans Ex!).
Die betreffenden Comics sind jeweils gekennzeichnet, euch kann also nichts passieren beim Kauf.

Das einzige was mir wirklich sauer aufstoß ist das Artwork. An den Illustrationen haben verschiedene Zeichner gesessen, was an sich ja nicht ganz unüblich ist. LEUTE! SOWAS DARF MAN ABER NICHT SEHEN! Ich kenne das Problem sehr gut, wenn man zusammen an einem Comic sitzt. Aber dann sollte man es so regeln, dass eine Person die Lines setzt, eine andere coloriert usw. Und nicht dass jeder irgendwo ein wenig zeichnet. Dann entsteht nämlich ganz schnell, dass ein Charakter in EINEM einzigen Kapitel aussieht wie zwei verschiedene Personen, in zwei komplett verschiedenen Illustrationsstilen.

Ja, es handelt sich hierbei jeweils um Terra. Einerseits wäre es nicht so schlimm, wenn jedes Kapitel von anderen Illustratoren stammen würde. Aber es handelt sich hierbei nicht um eine Sammelausgabe einzelner Hefte - es ist ein alleine stehendes Werk. Andere Charaktere hat es zum Glück nicht so hart getroffen.
Bei Büchern die einzelne Hefte zusammenfassen mag das ja normal sein und man ist es gewohnt, aber hier schwenkt der Stil innerhalb eines Kapitels, Leute sehen auf einer einzigen Seite unterschiedlich aus.

Das Niveau der Zeichnungen variiert dermaßen, es dürfte selbst einem Laien auffallen. Manchmal sind sie wirklich großartig! Ein wunderbarer Stil und dann passiert wieder ein Unfall. Ansonsten ist der Stil wesentlich hochwertiger. Am Cover sieht man schon, dass es wenig mit Terras Deformationen zu tun hat.

Trotz allem werde ich mir Band zwei, nach seinem Erscheinen, mit Sicherheit zulegen. Hauptgrund ist Ravens Geschichte. Bisher ist noch nicht viel über sie bekannt in der Handlung, aber Raven gehörte generell bisher immer zu meinen Favoriten ans Heldinnen. Sie mal frei von ihrem Trigon-Familien-Drama-Trauma und stattdessen als amerikanische Ureinwohnerin mit einer besonderen Gabe zu erleben ist mal sehr erfrischend.

十数年前に地球に墜落した宇宙船、突如超能力に目覚め謎の声を耳にする少年たち、
”彼ら”を救うカギとなるネイティヴアメリカンの少女”レイヴン”、
突如放り込まれた非日常の世界で、少年たちは自分たちの正体を知るために共に動き出すが…？

ジェフ・”マーヴ・ウルヴマン&ジョージ・ペレス期の『Teen Titans』が好きでしょうがない”・レミーアによる、
アースワン世界での『ティーン・タイタンズ』誕生を描いた一作。
この一巻はあくまで「プロローグ」に過ぎず、今後の伏線を散りばめるだけ散りばめて終わるため
『Superman:Earth One』『Batman:Earth One』のような単行本一冊内でのストーリーの完成度を期待すると
少し肩透かしを喰らうかもしれません(もちろん一応の区切りこそつきますが)。

とはいえ理不尽な状況に巻き込まれつつも、クヨクヨせずに目覚めたての力となけなしのチームワークで
窮地を脱していくティーン達の活躍は魅力。
テラやスレイド等の本家アースでのタイタンズを知っているとハラハラさせられるやり取りも散見され、
読んでいて飽きさせない話となっている。

続刊の予定は未定ですが前述のように続刊ありきな話のため、一刻も早く出していただきたいところ。
英語も非常に簡単で読みやすく、洋書デビュー本としてもおすすめです。
