While I don’t know a lot of Teen Titan lore, I still appreciated how the author incorporated some of the original story into a more contemporary world. However, instead of learning that being popular isn’t everything, Gar discovers something quite peculiar about himself. However, things spin out of control and the main character discovers something new about themselves that they didn’t know before. Gar’s story seems like a pretty basic high school story: an average kid goes to great lengths to get noticed by the popular kids. Based on the title of the last book ( Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven), the two are eventually going to cross paths. While neither of them make an appearance in the other character’s book, there is a connecting character (not going to name who) who is in both. Beast Boy) and how he found his unique powers. The first book ( Teen Titans: Raven) follows Raven and her journey in discovering her powers while this book follows Gar (a.k.a. Teen Titans: Beast Boy is the second book in a three book graphic novel series revolving around (arguably) the two most popular Teen Titans: Raven and Beast Boy. That being said, I still enjoyed this story despite not having a lot of background knowledge on them. I know what they look like and what their names are, but that’s about it. I’m going to start off this review letting you know that I don’t know a lot about Teen Titans.

When Gar realizes the extent of his physical changes, he has to dig deep and face the truth about himself–and the people who truly matter–before his life spirals out of control. The dares keep getting bigger and the stakes keep getting higher. Gar has to work harder to impress his new friends. He’s finally getting everything he wanted, but his newfound popularity comes at a price. His voice drops and, suddenly, he’s stronger and faster.

It impresses the Chosen Ones and his social status soars. Then Gar accepts a wild dare out of the blue. They miss their funny, pizza-loving, video game-obsessed best friend. Gar’s best friends, Stella and Tank, don’t understand why he cares what other people think. If Gar doesn’t find a way to impress the Chosen Ones–the social elite at Bull Creek High School–he will never know what it’s like to matter. Even in a small town like Eden, Georgia, the 17-year-old with green streaks in his hair can’t find a way to stand out–and the clock is ticking. Garfield Logan has spent his entire life being overlooked.
