Book Review: Teen Titans vol 3 - Death of the Family


The team is finally reunited in the wake of Death of the Family, but something is very wrong with Red Robin! What did The Joker do? As Red Robin's condition worsens he and the team must face an even greater threat when the new Dr. Light is coming for Solstice!

This volume was published by DC Comics on December, 24, 2013. It collects Teen Titans #0, 15-17, Batman #17 and Red Hood and the Outlaws #16.

This arc of the team had a lot more energy and cohesiveness to it than the previous two before. I think, in part, because it was a complimentary storyline to the Death of the Family event running in the main Batman titles at the time. Here we have the Joker, an always compelling foe, and his master plan against the entire Bat-family. For this volume, we get a bit more background on Red Robin, and we get to see his teammates hit his home turf of Gotham City. Even the guest appearances of Arsenal and Starfire add to it well (though it is really mostly Arsenal focused - Kory is just along for the ride in the issues here).

I am thinking I might need to check out the Red Robin and the Outlaws run at some point to see if it is an enjoyable as this teaser to it was. Maybe after I get through another Titans volume from this run.
