After months on the run from the twisted project that created them, Cyborg, Terra, Beast Boy and Garth are near their breaking point, barely surviving on what they can steal, squatting in the ruins of an abandoned subdivision. But as they reach their lowest ebb, their creator, Dr. Niles Caulder, is ready to make his move...and they're about to learn that they weren't the only kids to go through Caulder's twisted process! There are more children with powers out there, and unlike our heroes, they were raised for only one purpose-to be the living weapons Caulder wants ALL his Titans to be!

The first volume ended on a true cliffhanger; we knew that someone else had to come to wrap the story. With Volume 2, you will be left feeling like a full story has been told, although there is so much more for these Teen Titans to be doing. We can only hope that there will be a third volume to start showing how these powered kids can be real heroes, instead of just living on the run. Read Full Review
The graphic novel is entertaining and the two volumes together are absolutely a fun read. On its own, things get a bit murkier. If you've read the first volume, definitely grab this one, but if you haven't yet, it's best to start there. Read Full Review
This Teen Titans: Earth One sequel makes a strong case for giving Jeff Lemire and Andy MacDonald a more long-form Titans assignment. They succeed in putting a fresh coat of paint on a frequently struggling franchise, but it's hard not to wonder what could be accomplished in an ongoing series rather than a sporadic series of graphic novels.

Overall, I'm a bit at an impasse. If you own all the other Earth Onevolumes then you do need this book. If you only only Earth One: Teen Titans Volume Oneand you liked it, you may want this book. It's better than what Grant Morrison gave us for Earth One: Wonder Woman, but for $22.99 for the hardcover and $14.99 for the digital version you could get some of the other great Earth Onebooks... like the ones written by Geoff Johns.

As with most of the otherEarth One books,Teen Titans Vol. 2 ends on an open-ended note which invites another chapter to come. We'll see if that actually happens. This is an appropriate closing point to the story with the kids coming into their own with an open future ahead of them. If DC and the readers want to keep this branch ofTeen Titans going, it's not a bad concept, though the growing cast will require the story to focus next time. Read Full Review
This may have been a well-executed teenage adventure story, but its not a Teen Titans story, really. And thats a difficult path to take by comparison to the other three properties in the Earth One line. In this case, its just not paying off. Read Full Review
Ok, so this chapter was a step down from the first volume, the inclussion of new Teen Titans characters is welcomed, but the way they're not connected to their mentors doesnt work. In the overall story kind of makes sense why theyre the way they are, but if youre a DC fan you wont be able to just forget how that character is not connected any more to its mentor. The ending feels like a the final episode of a tv series or the last half hour of an action adventure movie. One can only hope that DC will bring back this series for a third volume so we can see the real ending of this world.
