The band is back together!
The first issue of Titans brings crowd favorites: Starfire, Nightwing, Beastboy, Raven, Wonder Girl, and Red Hood back for new adventures. This version of Titans is led by Nightwing, but Batman’s influence is very much felt as the former boy wonder puts the team through its paces with a famous training-with-no-powers training session.
Is a training session with a member of the Batfamily a training session if it does not include a lecture? The answer is: no.
Since this is issue number one, it feels safe to assume that Nightwing’s lecture during training to fight without powers might be foreshadowing.
Despite Nightwing’s best efforts to be Batman Lite, Red Hood is very much predictably over it.
The creative team for “History Lessons” is Phil Hester, Scott Koblish, Tom Grummett, John Kalisz, and Marshall Dillon. The art, writing, and story pacing is fantastic.
This version of Titans feels like an established team, but they’re still navigating everything that comes with working on a team, and that includes personalities.
The reader is taken from training sessions to a fight with a villain fairly quickly. Hopefully, in the next issue, we get to dive into our favorite heroes backstories a bit. Also, it would be great to see the Titans in Titan’s tower.
Overall, I give this book a 4.5 out of 5.
