The Titans are not the same heroes they were when Beast World began. Can this team hold the world together after everything they've been through? Can these friends unite against strengthening enemies hellbent on tearing them apart? Or will they crumble in the face of a new world order?
Titans #8 focuses on consequences. The book ensures that what came before does not simply blow over. The new artist visually alters the mood of the book. Doubt seeps its way into Earth’s foremost superhero team, suggesting greater, imminent danger. Read Full Review
Titans #8 delivers the aftermath of a huge event, taking us towards the next threat, so is a great jumping-on point for new readers. It's a well-written continuation, too. Nothing felt stale at all, because all is fresh when it comes to Tom Taylor! Read Full Review
Titans #8 is a great issue that keeps the momentum going forward post-Beast World, as the Titans have to deal with threats from inner and outer forces. How far can Beast Boy be pushed? What will Raven's demonic side do to the team? Will Sgt. Steel's attacks sway the public? The Titans were rising as the best set of Earth's champions, and now they might not even survive as a team. The next arc goes for the foundations to destroy. Read Full Review
Overall, a strong issue but it does feel a bit dragged down by the overall direction of the universe at the moment. Read Full Review
Starting the arc off with a slow but interesting burn, Titans #8 is a pivotal part of the story where we see the bridges of Beast World lead into a much darker story where the Titans will be tested to the extremes. Read Full Review
Titans #8 was a serviceable issue but lacked the spark and thrill of pre-Beast World Titans issues. Read Full Review
On one hand, it's good to see another member of the superhero group; on the other, it's running the risk of this title already running stale given most ideas have asked the question, "What if that Titan were bad?" Read Full Review
Titans #8 fails to capitalize on the minor goodwill created by the Beast World crossover by fighting against mundane ecological disasters that half their team should be able to dispel in a matter of minutes. Still, Agent Steel's press tour to turn public opinion against the Titans has potential, and Evil Raven's secret scheming is intriguing. Read Full Review
This issue is equal parts action, character development, and emotional notes. Taylor's writing is sharp and I'm glad to see that this issue didn't only focus on the two main Titans featured in the "Beast World" arc (Beast Boy and Raven). We get a good look at the full team and the fallout from "Beast World" hits the Titans HARD. Stephen Segovia's art is phenomenal, bringing the emotional depth and more action-forward moments to life in great fashion.
Public opinion is turning against the team and the heroes themselves are fractured, struggling with their own post-event trauma and inner demons. Beast Boy's back, but dealing with the fallout from not knowing what he actually did or what happened to him. There is a really sad moment more
Good story, but lacking compared to the prior Beast World saga. This one is filled with tension but at the same time feels anticlimactic. I’m also confused why the Titans needed a boom-tube jet when the tube itself would suffice.
