About this eBook

In this new, original graphic novel, the young heroes of the Teen Titans never felt like normal kids...but they had no idea how right they were. Their seemingly idyllic Oregon upbringing hides a secret – one that will bring killers, shamans, and extraterrestrials down on their heads, and force them into an alliance that could shake the planet to its foundations! The superstar team of writer Jeff Lemire (ANIMAL MAN, GREEN ARROW) and artist Terry Dodson (WONDER WOMAN, HARLEY QUINN) reinvent DC’s youngest heroes, with an all-new mythos in an all-new world!

Ratings and reviews

Unlike the three other Earth One books, this one goes out of it's way to destroy the very backstory of the Teen Titans. It barely feels like it exists in the DC universe or any parallel universe, if anything it feels more like a bad rip off of the 2015 Fantastic Four movie. It doesn't want to be a superhero story at all. Ignore at all costs if you enjoyed Teen Titans, Young Justice, Legion of Superheroes, or any of their animated series's.

When I saw the Earth One series and saw Teen Titans, figured since Batman did a good job this would be a good one too. It was a big twist and enjoyed it, looking forward to what's to come with new retelling.

I love what the writers did with the characters. The art design is beautiful and so is the direction they're taking.
