review:
'Teen Titans Vol. 2: The Rise of Aqualad' by Benjamin Percy tells an origin story of sorts as well as having lots more going on.
Jackson Hyde is a young man with some secrets. He has super powers and a crush on another young man. He wants to use his powers for good, so when he sees an interview with Beast Boy at Titans headquarters, he knows where to go. Which is good, because Beast Boy's interview goes badly when the reporter disappears into the water and the Teen Titans have to fight King Shark. It also turns out that Black Mantis has an interest in Jackson as well.
This collects issues 9-11 and 13-14 of Teen Titans, but somewhere in the story, Kid Flash gets ousted from the team, and it's hard to figure out why. The art style is fairly consistent over the run, but I just had a hard time caring much for these characters, including the new team member.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
