One year after Infinite Crisis, and the Teen Titans are in shambles.
Superboy is dead. Wonder Girl's off the reservation. Starfire is missing and presumed dead. Beast Boy has rejoined the Doom Patrol. Raven has quit the hero game. Kid Flash is all grown up and is the new Flash. And Cyborg is in assorted non-functioning parts.
From the chaos, though, we get a good, solid relaunch of the title. Some new members (notably Deathstroke's daughter Rose, now calling herself Ravager) join the team. An old Titan is back from the dead. We meet some of the dozens of people who were briefly part of the team in the chaos after Infinite Crisis, and we get the start of a mystery involving them.
And Deathstroke, who is always one of my favorite Titans foes, is back causing trouble. I'm a happy comic fan. There's also hints of greater drama -- Robin has a troubling new hobby, and there's some ... tension between him and Wonder Girl.
In all, a great relaunch to what is a stellar comic series. If you're interested in Teen Titans but unwilling to drop the cash on all of the previous trades, this would be a good place to start.
