Powerful empathic sensitivity and healing abilities.Over all, I was really happy with these graphic novels! I think the illustration especially was excellent and I cannot wait for the third book (Beast Boy Loves Raven in Fall 2021). Still, there was a definite relatability to it, which made Gar very endearing.įazit: 4/5 stars! I was never once bored while reading. I understood why his friends were annoyed with him at times and appreciated that they had their own struggles to face. Gar just wants to be popular, not because he likes the people so much, but because he wants to prove a point. For now, it’s what ties them together as they haven’t met yet. Especially the pages where Gar uses his powers for the first time are just swoon-worthy.Īgain, this one also heavily focuses on the insecurities of the main character. Gabriel Picolo has mentioned several times that Beast Boy is very near and dear to his heart and it shows. I loved the illustration in this one even more than in the first one, even though it was both done by the same person. Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia (author) and Gabriel Picolo (illustrator) I also felt like there was definitely some prior knowledge required, or you’d be a bit lost when certain characters started showing up.įazit: 4/5 stars! Interesting introduction to this series. Something I found confusing at times were the transitions between scenes, as they seemed very disconnected. She’s a teenager, so, she sometimes makes cringy choices, but I found those were easy to forgive. Since she can’t remember anything, she tends to question everything instead of listening to her gut. The graphic novel very much focuses on Raven’s insecurities and her way of trying to figure out who she is as a person.

This is entirely different, but I feel like that previous knowledge came in handy with Raven anyway.

While I have never watched or read Teen Titans before, I did watch DC’s Titans and liked it for the most part. Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia (author) and Gabriel Picolo (illustrator)Ī while ago, I would have firmly claimed to be a Marvel girl, but if we are being entirely honest, I am mostly consuming DC content now. Anyway, I really liked the Teen Titans, so, I figured I at least gave them a try with a mini review! Haven’t done of these posts in a really long time. As much as I like comic books, I always struggle to review them.
