Both Teen Titans Academy and Suicide Squad are taking risks with the lesser known characters taking the lead and the "big names" gently pushing the story forward from the side-lines but it seems to be paying off with plenty of fresh perspective and a direction that we may not see coming.

Teen Titans Academy #3 centers a story around new Teen Titan Bolt as she tries to flee the captive claws of the Suicide Squad. Read Full Review

Teen Titans Academy continues to be packed with great character work, action, and plenty of mystery. The cliffhanger of this issue may even make you gasp as Tim Sheridan continues to impress by not skimping on entertaining content. Read Full Review

Three different groups of Titans, and the Suicide Squad, all make Teen Titans Academy #3 a very full, but also very fun issue. Red X and Talon give a Batman-esque aura to the fights, while characters like Crush and Gregg bring unprecedented power. The mystery of Red X is what will keep drawing people back to this series every month, but it's the mysteries surrounding some of the younger trainees that I'm keen to keep exploring.

Teen Titans Academy #3 continues to flesh out the intriguing beginning that Tim Sheridan has presented for DC's foremost junior team. I look forward to seeing where Sheridan's new direction leads. Read Full Review

Combined with Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona's dynamic and near-perfect art, I find myself loving Teen Titans Academy more and more with each issue. Read Full Review

While you'll get a brief bit of backstory and some exciting student comradery, not to mention some great art, this issue feels like another miss in this series as things just seem to happen to simply happen, while motivations are just tossed aside or possibly never there to begin with and while the action was amped up a bit here, the background of wondering who Red X is keeps bogging down what should be a fun series.

Teen Titans Academy continues to focus on its new characters and teases the coming of something evil, beyond just the involvement of the Suicide Squad. The final end-game and identity of Red X are still unknown, just like if, and how, the young heroes from Gotham might uncover it all. Read Full Review

As Crossover Events go, Teen Titans Academy #3 did not impress me. I said when I reviewed Suicide Squad #3 that I thought it was too early to have these titles pair up. And as a result we have this poor excuse for a Crossover Event. The separate titles should have had an established story arc before this was attempted. But unfortunately they were both in their infancy, and it shows. Read Full Review

The concept here is pretty excellent, but it's trying to be three books in one and none of them work. Read Full Review

Sheridans focus on the Red X mystery is dragging the book down as it feels far too early in this run to develop a mystery that doesnt seem like it will be paid off anytime soon. And with that major narrative anchor, Teen Titans Academy isnt in a position to grade out too high month after month. Read Full Review

Teen Titans Academy #3 marks the point where I am done with this series. I tried to give Tim Sheridan a chance to get over the concept of Nightwing, Donna Troy, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy running a school to teach the next generation of DC Comics heroes. That was a complete failure as Sheridan has shown he is more concerned about building up Red X. By choosing this route you end up not caring about anything in the story or what happens to the characters, not even Sheridan's favorite in Red X. It is such a shame because Teen Titans Academy premise had a lot of potential, but it all goes to waste to put one character over. Read Full Review

The script by Tim Sheridan certainly feels like we are doing just that: going through the motions. It is painful. The art is the only redeeming quality. Hopefully, Rafa Sandoval will find another book. He is a quality artist and deserves more than this. Read Full Review

What is this series even for? Fans of the comics aren't getting anything to work with. Neither are fans of the cartoon. These poor characters are being completely glossed over in order to forward the plot. And the plot is terrible. You figure publishers would have learned their lesson with gimmicks and crossovers by now, but apparently not " and if Teen Titans Academy is anything to go on, they're becoming even more invasive" Read Full Review

Kind of an underwhelming chapter in this crossover. Nothing really stands out here. The Squad fails to capture Bolt again but manage to take Red X away with them. I do think Red X is kind of interesting though. I'm not really invested in the Titans characters either so as an issue of this series it didn't do anything to entice me to pick up more. The Squad scenes were okay but this crossover ultimately doesn't feel very necessary to enjoying the main Suicide Squad series.

Not terrible but way too much is going on.

TTA didn't need a tie-in to the Suicide Squad's plan but it gave us an idea on how Red X operates.

Picked this up just to see how this Suicide Squad crossover ends...it's not really worth it.

Wow okay have we maybe heard of, like, pacing? Developing some chill? What a mishmash.

It's getting better. The art and the colors are still very good and Sheridan is slowly improving, even if I don't like his takes on 60% of the Titans. I also want to read Crush's story, I like that character.

There are too many characters but none of them are significant yet and they keep introducing new characters to the series. Stop. It doesn't have to be this convoluted and messy. When are we getting the fun school drama and the growing pains of young heroes. Story is leaning on the Red X mystery and premonitions of a disaster yet to come which are both boring.

Art is good... everything else isnt.

Three stars because the art is really good. The script is terrible and nothing interesting in three issues

messy

"I'm three steps ahead". No. When you're a bad writer and you just make up the moves of your characters from your head without any previous clues you're not three steps ahead, you just don't know how to write. It's that simple.

they are surprised when people opt for anime and manga instead of comics. This series is terrible.
