(I won't make this post even longer than it already is but he's also a major character in all the other Superkids' and Batkids' runs i created such as Kon's Power Boy,Mia's Supergirl,Duke's Signal and Cass' Batman and also Thad's Kid Flash!!)

Teen Titans Masterpost And Reading Guide -
This is mostly a passion project of mine about my favourite team in DC Comics The Titans ! The general consensus I have seen on this website is that their history is confusing and people don’t know where to start so …. This guide includes ALL ( worthwhile ) pieces of Titans Media .
Ok so this is heavily inspired by @bitimdrake ‘s guide so check that one too !
Just to preface this is all my opinion and you can really start wherever you feel like it if you want to ! Sound Good 👍🏻 Good
TEEN TITANS
Ok so before you begin the og TT series you should read
- Brave and The Bold ( 1955) #54 and #60 if you want to read right from the start chronologically!
The Original Team of the TEEN TITANS was a series that ran through the 60s beginning in 1966 - 1973 and having a comeback in 1976 .
The OG series consisted mostly Robin Wonder Girl Kid Flash and Aqualad with many a cameo from other teens.
You can either read the OG Series but its completely optional it’s pretty outdated and silly but it’s a fun ride even then . In my opinion its best to leave for after you have been endeared to the characters .
If you really enjoy the Silver Age Teen Titans there’s also Showcase #59 before Roy joins and a story in the 80 page Flash Giant ! And after reading issue #20 you can also read #83 of Brave and The Bold.
After #31 theres TBANB #94 and after #34 theres World Finest Comics #205 ( read at your own discretion - totally optional)
Aswell as BANTB #102 and #149
And the utterly delightful Teen Titans lost annual & A story ( worlds oldest teenagers ) in the 80 page Flash giant.
All optional ( they get really weird)
Alternatively just read TEEN TITANS : YEAR ONE .
Some Issues I recommend from the OG Series
- #1 #2 #12 #53 ( last issue )
\ The series continues on from 1966-1976 \
NEW TEEN TITANS
NTT is arguably the seminal run and its best an absolute mustread . ( at it’s worst ….)
- DC PRESENTS #26 ( totally optional)
- THE NEW TEEN TITANS Vol.1
#1-40
- BEST OF DC #18 ( optional again.)
- Tales of The New Teen Titans ( miniseries #1-4 included in the NTT Omnis)
- read the 1st annual after issue #25
- By Issue 40 the series rebrands To TALES Of TEEN TITANS
This continues on from issues #41 to #58 it runs alongside NTT VOL.2 but is set 6 months before .
Read annual 3 as Part of Judas Contract !
- NEW TEEN TITANS VOL.2
#1-49
- TT Spotlight Miniseries !! ( SO GOOD SERIOUSLY)
- There’s also a drug awareness special at some point ( it’s its …. Certainly something)
NEW TITANS
By this point they remembered that “hey these guys aren’t teens anymore ” and thus renamed it to NEW TITANS . This series started off well enough and quickly devolved into arguably one of the worst runs EVER.
New Titans #81 is part of War Of The Gods and Annual 7 is part of Armageddon 2001 ( don’t bother ) annual 8 is part OF YET ANOTHER EVENT . Again don’t bother .
It’s pretty much highly recommend giving it up at #70 regardless .
-THE NEW TITANS
#50 - 100
ECTERA -
- running alongside NEW TITANS by 1992 was TEAM TITANS a series so awful I cannot recommend to you in clear conscience but if your a completetionist ( trust me I get it ) It’s there and Donna shows up alot !
- TITANS SELLOUT SPECIAL (1992)
NEW TITANS : MELTDOWN
The last decaying remains of NT walks on like a zombie on acid but by #100 all of the NTT crew is gone ( well most Mirage Donna as a Darkstar ect ) and leave to be replaced by an all new government sponsored Titans team lead by Roy .
- NEW TITANS
#0 / ZERO HOUR don’t worry about it/- 130
( IF YOU WANT CONTINUITY FOR KORI Showcase ‘94 #11 )
NT end’s with a whole 11 annuals
Ok so I am aware that they aren’t strictly Titans series BUT PLEASE TAKE a minute to read
The Arsenal Special!! Its a short single issue and BRILLIANT !! It informs a-lot of his character later on as well as of course the actual Arsenal Miniseries.
ALSO THE TEMPEST (1996) a absolute must read also informs basically everything about Garth and arguably his best story ever … just take a minute and read these if you want !! Before the Titans (1999)
TEEN TITANS (1996)
Ok so in the 90’s DC decided to start the TT from scratch ( huh see how long this’ll last )
This all new team was comprised of 4 half alien teens and a freshly deaged Atom. It didn’t last very long and while I am fond of it AGAIN you don’t HAVE TO read it
TEEN TITANS (1996)
#1-24
Also a few specials ! And 1 annual
Titans Beat #1
Impulse/Atom DoubleShot #1
Robin/Argent DoubleShot #1
Superboy/Risk DoubleShot #1
Supergirl/Prysm DoubleShot #1
New Year’s Evil : Dark Nemesis #1
JLA/TITANS : THE TECHNIS IMPERATIVE #1-3
Absolute MUST-READ . Literally one of my favourite comics of all time . Also essential because it kickstarts a certain run..
TITANS (1999)
One of If not the best run on Titans ( don’t @ me ) It slowly loses momentum after #26 but I still generally LOVED it . Stellar A++ Titans content !!
( you can also read the Beast Boy #1-4 miniseries prequel . But uh unless you really love Bette it’s not worth it )
TITANS (1999)
#1-50
Also TITANS Secret Files and Origins !!! ( ♥️♥️♥️ )
YOUNG JUSTICE
OK OK NOW IK THIS ISNT A TITANS OR TT RUN but this gen WILL eventually become TT 2003 ( 😒 ) and honestly ……
READ YJ 1998
It’s GREAT.
YJ/TITANS : GRADUATION DAY
Oh brother. Ok so I am pretty salty about this whole comic but it’s essential and has some good moments soo yeah read Graduation Day .
OUTSIDERS/TT SECRET FILES AND ORIGINS ♥️☝️ please read this after Graduation Day It’s heartbreaking and I love it !
TEEN TITANS 2003 - ( until OYL )
After the unfortunate events of graduation day the aforementioned YJ Gen ( - Anita and Greta 😞) and the OG NTT Crew ( Vic Kory Deaged Raven ) join to become …..
TEEN TITANS ( 2003)
( I have mixed opinions on this run some think it a masterpiece some think it awful I generally think it’s…. Fine ? Well “sigh” not fine but give it a go I guess ) I recommend #2-26
- #1-33
After #33 OYL hits
OUTSIDERS 2003 - ( until OYL )
Ok so this run isn’t really…. A titans run but it has fantastic Roy and Dick characterisation and KORY JOINS LATER AND SO TECHNICALLY-
#1-33
Read Annual 1 before #46
Don’t bother after #
POST - OYL TT 2003
Ok so I basically consider post OYL TT ‘03 to be a totally different team because… well it is . All of the NTT crew leave and are replaced by a handful of cameos and eventually like Rose Wilson and Kid Devil and because at this point half of the YJ gen is well…dead . It was pretty awful at this point though I find the character interactions endearing. This series remains like that until N52 .
#33-100
OUTSIDERS/TT 2003 ECTERA
- DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES READ TERROR TITANS PLEASE . Unless you really love Rose..( like me..)
- RETURN OF DONNA TROY ♥️♥️♥️ !!!! Excellent MUST READ !!!!
- TEEN TITANS : COLD CASE - seriously don’t read this if you don’t have too .
- TEEN TITANS : Spotlight - awful . Seeing a pattern ?
THEN - TITANS EAST SPECIAL !!
DC SPECIAL CYBORG #1-6 ( optional)
TITANS (2008)
After all the bullshit THEY ARE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN YAY !!!! To bad there’s so much shit going on OUTSIDE of the Titans that ends up fucking over the characters. E.G Bruce dying so Dick has to go be Batman and …. Hell . Fucking Rise Of Arsenal. If you know what happens in that book well yk that Roy ends up relapsing and going down a much darker mindset .
Series swings between being really good and being a mischaracterising MESS.
TITANS ( 2008 )
#1-23
By Titans #12 the Deathtrap crossover ( pretty mediocre) starts it goes like this
TITANS #12
Vigilante #5
Teen Titans #70
TITANS #13
Vigilante #6
But Amanda why did you put it’s end at 23 when Ik for a fact that goes on for #38 issues ????
Oh boy .
TITANS ( 2008 ) : VILLAINS FOR HIRE
So at issue 23 DC had the genius idea of taking the Titans and …. Turning them into a mercenary and hitman group lead by Deathstroke himself ( why ? I wish I fucking knew.) Filled out with hitman and villains and …. Roy who was now really dark and #edgy . Whatever It was bad and a wannabe secret six .
#23-38
However they’re was almost light at the end of the tunnel …. Jericho ( Joey Wilson yes he IS ALIVE ) seemed to have plans to assemble a new TITANS team and reunite their family and Roy well it seemed he was on a path to redemption he was almost there close to moving to recovery and healing and he could do it with—
N52 . POST FLASHPOINT TITANS.
The N52 was bad isnt a particularly outrageous statement but IT WAS EXTREMELY fucking bad in relation to the Titans . Bluntly put None of it ever happened and the only titans ( TEEN TITANS ACTUALLY) that had ever existed were the TT2003 guys . Just them. Fab Five never existed. NTT never existed.And all of the other og TT guys were …… WALLY never existed. Donna was a one note villain Garth never existed Dick was …. There I guess.. ROY was a dumbed down alcoholic with no purpose other than to gawk at how cool and oh and ahh at Jason Todd . ( KORY …… truly just awful what happened to her )
You can read the TEEN TITANS N52 . I guess .
They have 2 series . Read at your own peril they’re better if you pretend that the characters aren’t supposed to be … like the characters that they are . ( scott lobbell shouldn’t of been allowed to touch a pen )
REBIRTH
- TITANS HUNT ! - WALLY IS BACK
-TITANS VOL.3 is exactly what I wanted in the first half and then falls on it’s ass and burns like a trash fire . recommend stopping at #20
TITANS VOL. 3
#1-40
Justice League : No Justice- happens around this time and it was trying to create a new status quo ( uh-huh DC AGAIN ..) soo
Teen Titans Special #1 before
TEEN TITANS VOL.3
( also as your reading this read #54-55 for context in TT #27 )
“Yeah sure put the 11 year old in charge ”
Do not read this comic . And if you do ? THAT IS NOT DAMIAN . The series starts with Damian leading alot of the OG NTT guys like Kory and Vic + Ace and then it later just becomes Damian + Emiko + Ace and a couple other guys like Crush .
Drowned Earth happens ( not important) but it happens at #28 . And they have a crossover with Deathstroke in
TEEN TITANS / DEATHSTROKE : Terminus Agenda ( it’s vol ) optional though
But
- TITANS : Burning Rage
Slots in at this point so !!
A more obscure pick but no half bad
- #1-7
- Titans Academy
Haven’t actually read this one . Art looks gorgeous though
AND …
It leads too
- TITANS United
And
- TITANS : BLOODPACT
I love both of these Bloodpact in particular and it gives me Dickkory back aswell !! Good story and stellar art !!
NIGHTWING #100 - 104 to explain what is going on in …
- TITANS BY TOM TAYLOR ( Ongoing )
Also BEAST WORLD I guess 🤷♀️
Mid at BEST . #1-4
- Tales Of The Titans
A miniseries but so far the best Titans content we have gotten IN A WHILE . ♥️ ( sorta )
#1-4
ECTERA -
- NTT GAMES !
Fantastic and stellar art an standalone (?) dubiously canon graphic novel by Marv Wolfman and George Perez !
- TITANS AND NTT CONVERGENCE
- worthwhile and exactly what’s on the tin ! Love these gave a happy ending to the Post Crisis universe !
- Teen Titans WORLDS FINEST
- wonderful art by Dan Mora . Story is fine
- DC PRESENTS THE UNCANNY X-MEN AND NTT CROSSOVER.
SOOOOO GOOODD
- TITANS : Paper Scissors Stone
Okok elseworlds Titans book but I remember liked it !
OTHER MEDIA -
- TEEN TITANS ( 2003 THE TV SHOW )
A solid adaptation of … most of the characters please don’t go into this show and come out expecting the same from the comics . Did a lot of good for Terra’s character and influences ALOT of public perception. Just … don’t be annoying about the comics after watching this .
- TEEN TITANS GO
YES IK IK BUT ITS AN ADAPTATION AS WELL DONT JUMP ME
- TITANS ( TV SHOW)
….I wouldn’t recommend this show too anyone EXCEPT Titans fans who want more content of the team it’s it’s an experience. ( FUCK YOU FOR DOING THAT TO DONNA )
SO YEAH . Feel free to question me if I have forgotten any I don’t have spectacular memory lol
Happy reading ! !
