Titans #2 is a great example of when something isnt broken, dont try to fix it. This great issue is looking like the beginning of a great run on this team, and you should be getting in on it now whether you had previously read Titans or not. Read Full Review

Titans #2 continues the Tom Taylor Hot Streak of fantastic issues. DC, please take care of this writer, make sure he knows just how valued he is, AND just how much his fans are loving all his titles. Read Full Review
Titans #2 opens with a flashback to the younger version of these characters as they prepare to take on Brother Blood, this sequence is great because we get to see Dick as Robin, Donna in her classic red Wonder Girl attire as well as Garth in his original Aqualad look. It immediately recalls the Wolfman/ Perez run of New Teen Titans that catapulted this group of characters to the top of the comic industry in the '80's. The splash page is also an homage to the cover of New Teen Titans #1. These touches are additional elements that build on the accurate character beats. Read Full Review

After last issue's events, the Titans get their legs and press forward to discover a villain's rebranding, a hero changing viewpoints, and that the dead are alive. Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott put the Titans on quite the course with this new volume as they make their way across the DC Universe. Read Full Review
Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott utilize the ending of the first issue to develop multiple storylines and character arcs in Titans #2. The experience and relationships shine throughout this issue. It was all done in a seamless manner that further emphasized why the Titans are the premiere superhero team in the Dawn of DC direction. This drives home why Titans is a must-have series for DC Comics fans. Read Full Review
The new Titans series has solid illustration, but often problematic plot choices. On the positive side, it utilizes all of the Titans and they feel like they each contribute something to the plot and overall atmosphere. On the negative side, there is an abundance of sketchy history Taylor wants us to be aware of, but not look too deep into. In fact, it has such a loose handle on lore that it copies, rehashes, or contradicts a lot of the references it tries to invoke. Overall, I don't want to penalize the book too badly, but leaning on shaky foundations can lead to confusion. Luckily, the story is still massively entertaining, and has a lot of potential to outdo the story threads it desperately wants to succeed. Read Full Review
Titans #2 is a boring sophomore issue that dispels the mystery from issue #1 almost immediately and spends most of the issue, except for one action scene, with characters standing around and talking. The art looks pretty, and the story technically moves forward, but the net result is utterly forgettable. Read Full Review
Like many of the older readers here, I grew up reading comic books. One of my favorites in my childhood was the New Titans, of Marv Wolfman and George Perez. This was my favorite team, because as a child I could relate with the characters and even learn from them. After Wolfman and Grummet's run in the 90s, the quality of the book unfortunately saw a deep decline, with very rare periods of exception, like when Geoff Johns worked with them.
Now, I am very happy to say that thanks to Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott, a new generation of readers (and old timers like myself) can know the titans in their full glory. Everyone is "true to themselves" and Nightwing, in special, is being portrayed perfectly: A calm, wise and confident leader, more
Top! The Titans are here.
Tom Taylor is a master storyteller. Frankly, he nailed it with this second issue. Everything was perfectly balanced, the plot going off in two directions (how Tom Taylor is going to tie the two threads together is the whole question), the heroes being so endearing and attached to each other. You can really feel it. The bond is there and it's soft, familiar, reassuring. It's good to feel the Titans as a real family unit, and when one of them breaks up, it's a real pain. I felt concerned by what they were going through. I want to follow them. It's amazing! Few superhero teams give me this feeling of closeness. And Nicola Scott is terribly talented. Now I want the sequel, and a month is a long time.
UGH so good
This was definitely a step-up from the opening issue. Not that it was bad by any means, but it didn't reach the heights that I was hoping for with my favorite DC team. Luckily, there are more storylines introduced here and this almost feels like a little more of a proper opening issue than the actual Issue 1. Scott's art is very clean, and Taylor's scripts are nice. It is kind of weird that a lot of this issue deviates from the Wally plot introduced last time, but the other stuff here is cool, such as Cyborg detecting a Tamaranean presence at the Borneo Rainforest, Brother Blood becoming Brother Eternity, and Tempest aligning with Brother Eternity for whatever reason. I also thought Dick having contingency plans for the Titans was handled v more
