    Nicola Scott's artwork remains outstanding, helping to make Titans such a visual treat each month. Annette Kwok's colors are rich and vibrant, making for a perfect complement to Scott's art. Titans is one of the A-list titles that can get away without having nonstop action due to the tremendous character work. This title remains enthralling each month and with the ramp up to the first big Titans-focused event, it's not gonna stop anytime soon. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Sebastien Cabrera Nov 21, 2023

    Issue five of the series sets up a multitude of possibilities for the future of our heroes; from setting up a prologue to the upcoming Beast World event, to expanding their team by one member, and making room for Swamp Thing to appear in the near future. While also setting up a crossover story, it doesn't ignore the main story that the writer, Tom Taylor, has been building up. Read Full Review

    Titans #5 is a great issue that drives story and entertainment together. With the Rainforest and Flash's Death plot points getting closure, there is one more visit to Brother Blood, and we get another exciting reveal. This situation will be exciting and can lead to some wild fallout in upcoming issues. Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott deliver as always. Read Full Review

    Titans #5, much like a huge part of its plot, felt like planting seeds to grow a lot of future stories. Well drawn, well written well, now I'm ready for "Beast World! Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Nov 21, 2023

    Taylor presents a different approach to how super-heroes interact with their world. It may not be for everyone, but comics have always reflected the world in which they are produced, and this particular aspect suggests something not only different, but pertinent in our own world. It provides a different kind of connection as well as showing that saving the world can have a different meaning. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr. Nov 21, 2023

    Out of the Shadows is mostly about standing for something as a group outside of the shadow of the Justice League. Instead, the team operates more like the Saturday morning cartoon version of a worldwide superhero team. Although the beginning of the series is underwhelming, their focus on mature, tangible goals for the planet seems promising. Much of what Beast Boy tries to say feels like frustrations felt by activists around the globe. In many ways, Garfield's PSA is noble, even if consistently showing how unstable his emotions have become. None of the villains or plot points are living up to the challenge, but at least the messages are. Lastly, I'm happy Taylor acknowledges and addresses many of the things that I've questioned in previous issues. Even if the book has the tone of High School Musical, Titans has the potential to try something new and maybe heal the world. Read Full Review

    Titans #5 shows readers just how well Tom Taylor can balance two storylines at once, with his script here managing to tie both timelines together with ease. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Nov 21, 2023

    Titans #5 is a boring, unfocused waste of a comic. Taylor concludes the big murder mystery of Wally's death in the least interestingly and energetic way possible, the lion's share of the issue is taken up with a nature field trip, and the art hits a new low with possibly the laziest attempt at a Swamp Thing I've ever seen.
