If the name didn't give it away, the focus is on Beast Boy in the third volume of Teen Titans.
First we get a reprint of a Beast Boy mini from 1999. Gar's on his own in L.A. and trying to make it in acting. Unfortunately, someone's killing off people linked to his old TV series, and they want to hang the rap on a certain green guy.
It's a fun little story with lots of drama and humor. I especially liked Teen Titan wannabe Flamebird. Bette may not have the best hero skills around, but she's got heart and charm and a crush on Robin that just won't quit.
Then we jump back into the current Teen Titans timeline with an attack by a new villain -- the Zookeeper. Zoo's an old acquaintance of Beast Boy's now deceased parents, and he's infecting every kid in San Francisco with the virus that made BB what he is today!
There's some good butt-kicking here, but Zookeeper doesn't really catch me as a cool bad guy. This felt like filler.
Poor Gar -- all he wants is to be a star.
