When their paths converge in Nashville, Raven and Gar can't help but feel a connection, despite the secrets they both try to hide. And what's more, his difficulty controlling these abilities could have unexpected consequences.īoth are seeking answers from the one person who seems to have them all figured out: Slade Wilson. Garfield Logan still can't believe he has powers that allow him to change into different animals, but the price of knowing that his parents kept this secret hidden from him just feels too high. But she doesn't have time to think about the past.she has to focus on finding a way to get rid of Trigon for good. ![]() It seems like years, but it's only been a few days since Raven Roth recovered her memories trapped her demon father, Trigon, in her amulet and had her heart broken for the first time. I’m pumped.From #1 New York Times bestselling author KAMI GARCIA ( Beautiful Creatures) and artist GABRIEL PICOLO, the creative duo behind the New York Times bestselling graphic novel Teen Titans: Raven, comes the romantic meetup we have all been waiting for! Teen Titans: Beast Boy is the first sequel from one of the DC original imprint titles to be announced and I can’t waiti to see this team return to tell that story. This book is about the family we choose and that who we are isn’t just about the material things we enjoy but the person we are at our core. You’d have the various text bubbles (text messages, dialogue and thoughts etc) in different colours or fonts that were consistent in their use, dynamic but also complimentary so it didn’t distract from what was happening on the page. I’d like to also acknowledge the work of Tom Napolitano’s lettering because that also helped break-up the page when it was in just grey. It’s truly a team effort with the smart colouring decisions made by David Calderon who didn’t completely adopt the single colour scheme of the previous two DC Ink books and opted to instead go with the persistent grey but then strategically incorporating other colours whether it’s adding the purple to Raven’s hair, adding navy blue to the grey and colouring in Max’s mother’s skin tone to a graveyard scene or colouring an entire page like in the right-hand image above. I highly recommend checking out his snapchat inspired illustrations featuring Raven and the rest of the Teen Titans gang on Twitter. Speaking of art, Gabriel Picolo’s style is great for this book and it’s evident that he knows how to draw teens in the way they dress, move and use technology. The writing takes into account the work that the art should be doing which is why the 168 pages didn’t feel rushed or oddly paced like with previous DC Ink and Zoom titles. It’s self contained with room for more of her story in a future book. It quickly established a believable friendship with her foster sister Max and her attraction to Tommy while showing us her struggles with identity and a brewing power. Kami Garcia did a fantastic job at using the 168 pages she had to tell Raven’s story. With three of the DC Ink and Zoom’s books under my belt, it’s felt like I’ve been holding my breath for the title that would hit all of the right notes: a well executed story from start to finish, great art to accompany it and most importantly, something I can wholeheartedly recommend to teens and fans of young adult stories. Another thing she’s forgotten is the power building inside her and the dark presence connected to it but not for long. Without her memory, she can remember more practical things like doing her math homework but not favourite type of candy bar. Relocating to New Orleans, Raven stays with her foster mom’s sister and her daughter, Max, in order to finish senior year. Seventeen year old Raven Roth loses both her foster mom and her memory in a car crash. This ongoing series on WWAC, DC Youth, will follow these fledgling imprints and see how they do with reaching a new group of comic book readers. It’s been almost three years since that roundtable, and DC Comics is publishing graphic novels under their new middle grade and young adult imprints: DC Zoom and DC Ink. ![]() ![]() The purpose of this exercise was to prove that DC Comics could reach a larger audience by making their comics more accessible. We discussed their limited experience with comics, if the series was great for newbies, and if they would go on to read more comics. In March 2015, I hosted a Gotham Academy roundtable featuring five book bloggers. Teen Titans: Raven David Calderon (colourist), Kami Garcia (writer), Tom Napolitano (letterer) and Gabriel Picolo with Jon Sommariva and Emma Kubert (artists) ![]()
