ARC from #Netgalley. Wanted to like this one more, but the story was really boring and derivative. It could've been much faster paced, as Raven has a lot of interesting back story and this was just...blah. The art was beautiful though and I would definitely recommend it to someone for that.

I’m not a big fan of graphic novels but this one was okay. I don’t know Raven’s story as I’m not much into comics either, so I don’t know how true it stays to the original story line. I like that it was set in New Orleans. The illustrations were amazing.

A fresh take on Rachel Roth and her struggle with her powers, her lineage, and now amnesia. I would definitely recommend this to young graphic novel readers interested in complicated superheroes.

I wanted to read this for so long and I finally read it and I absolute loved it.


I love Rachel roth/raven and this graphic novel was amazing,I literally loved it so much.

4.5/5 stars

I was not super familiar with the world of Teen Titans before reading this graphic novel, and I don’t think prior knowledge of the world was necessary to enjoy Raven’s origin story. Raven goes through some pretty tough challenges right away in the novel, but, with the help of some new friends, she learns to overcome them. The art was fantastic, and the storyline was enjoyable. The ending was a bit open ended so I could definitely see a sequel coming, and I am curious as to what will happen next.

This was great! It was powerful, dark, hints of humor and a bit of mystery. I loved all the characters and the story line was great! It had lessons of love and self acceptance. This is perfect for girls who want the get into comic books and graphic novels.

I admit that I have a fondness for teen angst (the kind that sucks you down in a pit of muck and mire and clamboring) done well. But the protagonist's confusion and despair missed the mark. It's as if the nature of the graphic format cut short a fuller exploration of what it means to be a teen, lost and searching for what she is. Not that this is a bad character depiction of Raven, but the characterization didn't offer anything new.

Wow was this a blast from the past. It made me want to go binge watch the original Teen Titans cartoon. Raven has always been my favorite character from that show, and so reading her origin story was fantastic. The writing is phenomenal, the art even more so, and I love Raven's sister/cousin, Max. I am deeply interested to see where this will lead in the future, and hope to see more of this dynamic author/illustrator duo in telling Raven's story.

This was an interesting back story! I know little about Raven (or the Teen Titans in general) so this was all new to me and I thought it was interesting. It shows several characters and possibly how the teen titans will come about. I thought it was a great story with interesting characters.

The pictures were vibrant and made the story so much more interesting. I thought that the creator did an amazing job putting this book together. Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this.

Raven has always been someone I related to ever since I was a little girl first discovering the Teen Titans thanks to Cartoon Network. So when I found this title I knew I needed to read it and it didn't disappoint me. Kami Garcia captures Raven's essence even as her character goes through the story trying to re-learn herself and her powers.

Was so upset when I reached the end...I wanted to keep reading MORE! Great graphic novel version of Raven's origin story. This whole time I thought she was all demon and never knew she's half human. Slightly more serious spin on the father-daughter relationship portrayed on "Teen Titans GO!" and I liked it, especially since you get to meet other family members from her mother's side!

I absolutely loved reading Teen Titans: Raven! Garcia stayed very true to Raven's characters from the comic world while still bringing a young and fresh feel to her for a new story to tell. The illustrations are gorgeous and well done. I was not thrown off by any of the transitions. I cannot wait for this book to be published!

Interesting take on Raven's story accompanied by beautiful illustrations. I'm sure this will be a favorite of our teen patrons. Handles subjects like friendship, loyalty, self discovery, and love in just the right way.

*Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC of this title!*
Right before Raven is set to be legally adopted, she and her foster mother get into a horrible car accident. Raven can't remember much of anything; her foster mother didn't make it. Raven now has to start over with her foster mother's sister and her daughter - people she's never even met before - in a new city, with no memory! She doesn't even know what food she likes, what clothes she wears, or what her favorite song is. And to top it all off, she might be going crazy. She's sure she can hear other people's thoughts! Something's going on here, but without her memory or her mother, Raven isn't sure she can make it through her senior year of high school.

My Notes:
Beautifully illustrated origin story of a character I didn't know as much about.

Teen Titans: Raven is basically Raven's origin story, filled with teen angst, friendship, family, and a little romance. This was a really fun read and it was nice to have a graphic novel completely about Raven. The artwork was awesome (even for an incomplete arc) and was very stylized. Overall this was a great graphic novel for fans of Teen Titans or strong woman super hero. Would definitely recommend to teens or adults looking for a new read.

This is a awesome book that shows the beginning of Raven and her back story, The characters all work together and are as realistic as a super hero story can be. The story is set in New Orleans the only place for a story like this, and right after the last of Raven's family as she knew it has died, and left her with amnesia. Things are happening to her she does not understand and she must work to find what they are, but can her foster sister and foster mother really help? This book never stands still it will have you on the edge of your seat all the way through.




This review will appear on my blog on July 2nd

This is a solid introduction to the character Raven in the Teen Titans universe. The reader starts about befuddled and confused, but I believe that is intentional, because Raven has lost her memories. She is in a new home, with new family, and no idea what her life used to be like. All she knows is she can hear other people, and cause the bitchy cheerleader harm just by thinking about it. This book serves as an introduction to one, if not multiple characters that make up the Teen titans. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I am really loving these DC Ink books!! All these excellent authors paired with cool lady heroes/villains?? Who could ask for more (me. I want more).

Catwoman has been my favorite so far but I thought this one was also very excellent, tho I think a big struggle with these books I have noticed is the end: everything builds up really well but the finales can be a little rushed/messy. Still, enjoyable read and interesting seeing Raven develop away from the Teen Titans!

The only exposure I have had of Raven before was from watching Teen Titans as a kid, but I loved this interpretation and story of Raven. The illustrations are extremely well done and the story was compelling. I can't wait to find out what happens next!
