Constant and company have managed to work with what could have been a very clich concept and turn it into something that feels genuinely interesting. And maybe all they really needed was to introduce one character and one mirror and suddenly it becomes something new. Hold a mirror up to the old clich and suddenly theres steps to it. All you have to do is look at things in reflection. Its kind of an interesting image. Very iconic. Read Full Review

We're still relatively new to this version of the Titans, but both Constant and Shannon and Dean Hale have gotten to play in this sandbox already. That everyone's succeeded is a good sign for the title. Read Full Review

Nothing about the Knight Terrors event seems to be compelling enough on it's own. Luckily, this book drives up enough interest in its isolated storyline to warrant a nice read. In fact, it is not dissimilar to the Teen Titans (2003) episode “Fear Itself.” Much like this, in the episode the Titans are unable to leave the Tower and must confront manifestations of Raven's darkest fears. The artwork makes use of color, ink, and creative imagery to draw interest in the story and its mysterious protagonist. Overall, I can recommend this book to anyone, even if you don't understand the overarching premise in Knight Terrors. Looking forward to part two! Read Full Review

The DC Universe's new premier hero team gets pulled into the nightmarish event sweeping the line as ‘Knight Terrors: Titans' delivers a decent tale. Fans of the current series or the characters as a whole might feel a bit hollow from this one. It's presented fine but is a bit lacking as both an event tie-in and a general story. Read Full Review

Knight Terrors: Titans #1 is a classic case of too much to do and too little time to do it. Introducing a new character to lead the issue is a bold move but we'll have to wait until the second (and final) issue to see if it pays off. Until then, this is a solid issue but questions abound. Who is this new character that's helping the Titans? Are they all in the same nightmare? And if so, who's nightmare is it? There is an intriguing twist that has potential to make this one of the most unique nightmare scenarios. But again, we'll just have to wait and see how this story pans out. Read Full Review

Knight Terrors: Titans #1 was fun, well-paced, and different enough that it wasn't tedious reading another book in this event. I can't express how worried I am about the next issue though. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Images Courtesy Of DC Entertainment Read Full Review

If you're a fan of the Titans, this might be worth your time to explore their psyches a bit more, but otherwise, it might be a tie-in worth skipping if you're not a "Knight Terrors" completionist. Read Full Review

Knight Terrors: Titans #1 may be one of the weirder Knight Terrors tie-ins because it focuses on an unknown character, and the shared dream belongs to an inanimate object. Constant understood the homework assignment, but he's got a lot of ground to cover in #2 to make it make sense. Read Full Review

This wasn't the worst Knight Terrors title, but I wasn't really into this all that much. The story felt very average to me. It wasn't BAD, but it wasn't really GOOD either. It just landed right in the middle for me. The art was solid here, but it wasn't enough to really change my opinion on this much. With that said, I think it's safe to rate this right in the middle at 5/10. The only reason I'm putting this on my Pull List here is because I read the current Titans series and I won't be getting any content from that until this is over.

pretty bland and uninteresting to be honest.

With this week’s crop of Knight Terrors tie-ins, it appears DC has saved some of the worst for last. Can’t say I blame them for holding these off as they weren’t compelling stories in their own right and didn’t do much for the event. This is true for KNIGHT TERRORS TITANS #1 which tells the nightmare story of….Titans Tower??? While it’s not confirmed whose nightmare we’re actually following until the final page, it turns out the main cover spoiled all along.

The story follows an unnamed female character (who is weirdly never named) trying to escape a haunted building where terror seems to be behind every door. Along the way she encounters different member of the Titans who are trapped in their own mini nightmares, but we never spend quite enough time with any of them to get invested. Donna Troy and Starfire’s nightmares are especially sped through to assemble the team ahead of the final arc of the book. Luckily our female lead has been mentally connected to Raven the entire time, who guides the whole group to the building’s exit. Raven’s presence is waiting for them outside, where they learn they were trapped inside Titans Tower the whole time.

I know it’s not easy to give every member of an ensemble cast a complete story in one issue, but Andrew Constant’s story felt rushed even by those standards. Stakes are never high as you’re introduced to a character’s nightmare and they’re free within the same page. How do you build any tension that way? Also, so much of the issue is from the unnamed female lead’s POV. How are we supposed to care what is happening if we never know who she is?

While the writing and story were subpar, the art by Scott Godlewski, colors by Ryan Cody, and lettering by Wes Abbott saved the issue from being a complete disappointment. They made the most out of a bad situation and were able to create an interesting visual narrative for readers to enjoy. Godlewski’s drawing of the building interiors could have been dropped in any horror-themed comic book and would have worked perfectly. Even with a lot of dark scenes throughout the book, Cody got to play around with a wide range of colors during a few scenes and they popped of the page. Abbott also got to experiment with a variety of lettering techniques and it helped keep things fresh throughout the book.

I have no idea where the conclusion of this story is going. It’s clear that DC believes there are stronger stories to be told, especially since they gave solo tie-ins to some of the other Titans that have shown promise.

Rating: 4/10 more

Great trippy art and cryptic narration. Lots of fun like a comic should be.
