Thoughts:

  1. Hurray it's here!
  2. I see it's been changed from the original set up, which was said to be a prequel to her TT debut, and now its a Rebirth prequel. I suppose thats ok, dunno how much they could do with her before she bumped into the Phantom Stanger that might mean anything.
  3. It's not the best art I've seen, tbh, but atleast it's not an LCD trip like the last mini.
  4. Side note... premise does sound kinda like the last mini as well; SF, away from the team, high school, thing happens...?

@outside_85: LCD trip? Has Raven had a miniseries before or are you talking about the premise that was replaced by this one.

She had one some years ago, story was all right, but the art was something else.

I am disappoint by the summery because it sound a lot like it wants to fail to me. I am choosing to blame the summery and not the writing. Also I hope we get Raven's beliefs or something that flushes out her morals more because as awesome as it was to see Raven rip out her brothers heart, it felt out of place. I would like to know who we are dealing with a queen of the underworld or a monk that detests violence. I don't even know anymore. Here is hoping for an Azarath flashback.

I loved the art of her previous series but found the story severely lacking. Hopefully this one will be a bit more ironed out.

September 21, f*** that's a long time to wait! >.<

I'm undecided on that art but am intrigued by the premise. I want to meet this aunt, SanFran so something tells me she's a crazy aging hippie.

Personally I like the previous miniseries but can see why others wouldn't. I appreciate the unique art but admit it doesn't really fit the character at times and feel like the other kids are unrealistically tolerant of Rae's bizarre behaviour. But it also has some good lol-moments too and Raven herself is very endearingly portrayed.

I'm sort of getting the impression of Bart Simpson moving in with the Flanders.
