The questions mount around the new school formed by the original New Teen Titans: What’s going on with Billy Batson’s access to the powers of Shazam, what dark secret is Raven’s new pupil Dane hiding, and who’s masquerading as the new Red X?
Teen Titans Academy #2 doubles down on both worldbuilding and mystery, as the Red X makes his first move. There is something for fans of every era of Titans to love in this book! Read Full Review
Teen Titans Academy #2is a great follow-up to the debut of this amazing series. Getting to see the older Titans mentor the new prospective Teen Titans remains as entertaining as ever, and seeing the mystery of Red X unfold makes for an exciting read. I'm glad to see this series continue to go strong and am excited for where it goes next. Read Full Review
Teen Titans Academy #2 is terrific. The writing, art, and lettering is all of a high standard, the intrigue is deepening, and an unexpected X-Factor turns up, both in the title of this month's story, and in the aforementioned cliffhanger. Who is Red-X, and is the fact that he's wearing a Robin costume on the variant cover a massive clue, or a clever red herring? Read Full Review
Teen Titans Academy is easily one of the most pleasantly-surprising books in DC's arsenal right now, and this issue only further proves that in spades. Read Full Review
No other book is handling the legacy of the DC universe in this context, and you should definitely join along for the journey it's trying to tell. Read Full Review
The Teen Titans concept works extremely well in the hands of this creative team. Throwing kids into a school setting with danger ever present makes for good drama, and the superhero feel is never lost thanks to the great art. The chaos and calamity of teen superheroes is stronger than ever in Teen Titans Academy and issue #2 shows that. Read Full Review
Teen Titans Academy has a lot of potential, but feels hamstrung by needlessly forcing the Red X mystery so early into this new run. Read Full Review
Teen Titans Academy is quickly becoming a great comic series for new and old readers. An abundance of fun and youthful new characters blended with the experienced original Titans line up makes for some interesting times. I don't want to spoil it for people but the last page cliffhanger is not to be missed and opens up the door to a potentially bonkers next issue. Read Full Review
This is quickly becoming a great comic series for new and old readers. Teen Titans Academy #2 delivers an abundance of fun and youthful new characters. All this, blended with the experienced original Titans line-up, makes for some interesting times. I don't want to spoil it for people but the last page cliffhanger is not to be missed, as it opens up the door to a potentially bonkers third issue. Read Full Review
Overall, it is a good comic and I would recommend it to the general comic audience, although I feel it would cater more specifically to (hardcore) fans of the Titans lore. Read Full Review
Sandoval delivers some great visuals throughout the issue. The characters look great and there are some beautifully detailed moments to be had. Read Full Review
This new take on the Titans franchise has some elements going for it, but it continues to be roughly five books stuffed into twenty pages and shook thoroughly. Read Full Review
Instead of having a Red X mystery out of nowhere, I really wish we would have built up the Red X character and made it feel right for the comic Universe since this is his first introduction into comics and not just said, "Yeah, the cartoon thing happened". There's so much to explore with this series but it seems to want to tell you there's a mystery happening but not giving you any reason to care. That being said, I like a lot of these new characters and think the art is great. I just hope that we get more from this book as the series progresses. Read Full Review
I really want to like this series, ya'll, but it isn't giving me anything to work with. Tim Sheridan is reaching into the story bag and pulling out twists, reveals, and stingers " but I can't bring myself to care, because I'm not even a teensy bit invested in literally any of the characters. You have to build the Legos up before you can start playing with them, Mr. Sheridan. At least there are no cringy Millenial v Gen-Z jokes this time around... Read Full Review
The first issue established Teen Titans Academy to have a deep cast of fan favorite and new characters to build a strong foundation around. You would not know that by reading Teen Titans Academy #2. This entire issue just rushes through various stories with minimal development or reason to be invested in character arcs. Its all made worse by the set-up for a crossover with the Suicide Squad that is done in the most unexciting way possible. It is such a big disappointment to see the potential Teen Titans Academy had go to waste after only two issues. Read Full Review
Too many characters, not enough plot and overly slick art make for a comic book that feels pointless and over-complicated. Read Full Review
Unfortunately this issue just didn't hit home for me as I found the young heroes to be disinteresting as characters and the capabilities of Nightwing and the other Titans bit underwhelming. The mystery of Red X still holds a sense of intrigue, but it's a bit off-set by my overall despondent opinion of this issue. Read Full Review
The script is hard to access on any level and most of the suspense barely amounts to a yawn. The art is good but cannot save this book. Basically, it is close to unreadable and there is nothing besides the artwork that it has going for it. Read Full Review
Sweet book!
Can't wait for the Suicide Squad crossover
Not sure whats with the hate for this issue, i thought it was great. I'm really liking this "Bolt" chrcater and I'm intrigued with how this ties into some of the other books and even Future State
" Someone who's always three moves ahead."
- RED X
I'm not as excited about Red X as I feel like I'm intended to be, but this is the kind of book that makes me love the Teen Titans, the Titans of all generations. I'm really enjoying getting to know the new characters too. I've been really happy with the quality of DC comics since Infinite Frontier began and this issue is no exception.
Really enjoyed this issue a lot, much better than the first issue and the art is better. the only question i have is that is Nightwing with Starfire or Batgirl?
This was better than issue one. I think this might grow on me more, like Strange Academy did over at Marvel. Similar concept, so it somewhat makes sense. I actually kinda care about the Red X mystery now, and that is a triumph after how much they tried to make me not care with those abysmal Future State issues.
This book has good ideas but they aren't executed very well. The characters feel more natural than last issue but still the pacing and lack of build up hurts this book a lot.
It's fine, whatever. I'm sure there will be a crowd that will be outraged over it.
This is all fine but not super exciting.
Rafael Sandoval is skilled. We have good colours and I must say the ending left me wanting to read the next one. And the New kids got a little bit of personality. On the other hand, this Red X bullshit is annoying me and unless he is Shazam he should not have been able to toss Dick to side like he did. Dialogue sucks in this one.
Still no reason to care about any of these characters, too slow to inftoduce the new kids
Just like the first issue this also has the same base problems, Tim Sheridan is trying to bring out many plots but is failing to handle all of them. In general some of the Titans are written better than last issue but others got just worse.
The students are not likeable because they don’t have any characteristic because they don’t get enough pages, Then Tim is still forcibly fitting the Red-X plot. The “academy” and “Red-X” are amazing ideas as storylines but the writer doesn’t seem to know how to manage them so he is cramping everything together. If that was not enough he added relationships of titans into this to create this a bigger mess. The worst part of this issue is that it tries to set up a unexciting and a too e more
