Personal Review: Teen Titans Vol. 2: Family Lost by Mike
McKone
Buying this book was probably the best $10 I ever spent. I picked it up at a
bookstore, read it in about 30-45 minutes, and loved every second of it.
It has everything: lovely storyline, eye-popping artwork, and wonderful
character development. I was also pleasantly surprised by seeing hints of
Rae/BB romance towards the end. The villain, Brother Blood VIII, is
actually a 14 year old "vampire", as in, he eats human flesh and blood. He
has captured and hypotized Raven, and now wants to marry her. The
Titans are obviously not going to stand for this and decide to change his
wedding plans. Throughout the battles Brother Blood is constantly coming

up with phrases that are so truely teenaged that it's a little bit amusing. For
example:
Raven to Beast Boy: "Why am I the way I am?"
Brother Blood (interrupting as he floats up through a puddle of blood):
"Because ... Trigon made you that way. Because you are perfect in every
fashion, Raven-- because I really like you. Like you, like you."
It's unique and a nice comdey relief, aside from Beast Boy.
As a Raven fan, I really appreciated that this story was more centered on
her (even though seeing her with a shaved head was a bit... unexpected.)
It also gives a complete background story to Raven, beginning with the
events that led to her conception and birth right up through the rest of
those years in the comics. Even if you aren't a fan of Raven, there are
moments concerning the other Titans that you won't want to miss, such as:
Showing how Cyborg keeps himself in fit condition through taking himself
apart and then reassmbling himself (what cool artowrk accompanied THAT
one!)
StarFire getting angry and going into a fit where she curses and mutters in
Tamaranean because Krypto the Superdog wrecked her garden.
BeastBoy's reaction to having to turn into an intestinal parasite and go into
Brother Blood's body to retrieve Raven's chakra.
Of course, this book isn't all happy-go-lucky... there is a lot of bloodshed,
and we also follow along with Rose Wilson (AKA Ravager) as she tries to
live up to her father Deathstroke (also known as Slade)'s insane example.
This book is an absolute must for all of you who are established Titans
fans, and will help those of you who don't know much about the Titans to
get a good feel for them. I recomend it to anyone who enjoys a good comic
book. You don't find many like this anymore.
