Teen Tians for teenagers. However I am an adult.
This book is what it is targeted for Teens. If your appreciation for the medium known as comics is something along the lines of character driven stories with drama filled plot lines, then line up. This book is not the Jersey Shore rubbish of the Red Hood and the Outlaws book, but it is still a team book that is meant for escapists.
I however feel I've grown too old to love comics like this. I can appreciate what Scott Lobdell does with this comic and its character, but on the same coin, I don't support it. Most of the characters reimage I enjoyed more in their older incarnations. Tim Drake for example is too silly of a costume for me to take seriously.
With how both this book and Superboy ends, the 52 has only set up new ways to sell tie-ins. The "Teen-spirit" in which lead me to read comics is present in this book, but I don't like it, since why should my characters be changed, so a new generation can love them? Why can't the younger generation have their own characters to love? That was what the original teen titans were created for in the 80s after all.
