Summary: A comic classic!
Comment: I just picked up my copy of this trade and reread it as I have countless times since the story's original run in the summer of 1984 prior to starting high school. As always, I was THOROUGHLY entertained! George Perez is the MASTER artist and it shows throughout the story. The high points of his art are the first two parts inked by himself and the staggering amount of detail he always throws in. Look at the "spires" twisting through the city and you'll know what I mean. I just wish he could've inked his pencils through the entire story although Romeo Tanghal backs him up quite well in parts 3 thru 5. Marv Wolfman expertly handles the execution of the subplot he and George had set up since the very beginning in 1980...Raven walking her father's road. I don't find it derivative of X-Men's Phoenix as implied by others since this subplot was around since the first story arc in '80. The subplot of the Titans each facing their fears and evil selves is effectively chilling. Just check this book out along with The Judas Contract. You don't find many stories like these in comics OR in most novels these days. Enjoy!

Summary: Not what I expected...
Comment: I ordered this because I thought it was a reprint of Teen Titans 1-5 (1980), which I read as a child. Actually, it's a reprint of 1-5 of the "2nd spin" of the title-circa 1985. To add to the confusion, both sets of issues (1-5) featured a Trigon storyline !
Anyway, the art by George Perez is gorgeous-some of his best ever. The writing is ok too, but the storyline is nothing new: kind of derivative of the X-men (Raven ~Phoenix becomes corrupted by her darker nature and goes bad.) Now as an adult, I prefer more sophisticated fare... I guess nostalgia only goes so far.
