    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Jan 23, 2024

    Titans: Beast World #5 does a great job acting as the penultimate chapter of the DC Universe' latest big event. Amanda Waller's anti-superhero agenda is shown in full force. She forced the Titans into a corner where they were left in a no-win scenario. It led to a great surprise reveal that elevated Raven to be front-and-center for the finale of this event.

    The issue is solid as the Beast World story is looking to wrap up loose ends, and by the looks of it, all of them too. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jan 23, 2024

    Titans: Beast World #5 maximizes the penultimate issue in this crossover with escalated stakes, big emotional beats. plenty of action, and fantastic art. Whoever kicked Tom Taylor in the pants to craft this story should continue kicking because this is the most enjoyable superhero comic from Taylor in years. That said, plot holes abound, so don't think too hard about the story or it falls apart. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr. Jan 23, 2024

    In conclusion, Beast World is capable of much more than it's going to give. Frustratingly, the lead characters have spent most of this event playing defense or the backseat. Worse of all, Waller's actions and the Dr. Hate reveal continuously makes them look incompetent. On a positive note, this story has gripping ideas and decent artwork. Frankly, the ethical conversations and wild concepts around the heroes role in society are carrying the book. Yet, various details unravel the good will Taylor earns with this humiliating direction. Still, as the penultimate chapter, Beast World #5 accomplishes this necessary phase of the magic trick. I truly hope it finds a good place to land, despite the embarrassing cliffhanger.
