Led by Starfire, the Teen Titans – Beast Boy, Raven, Blue Beetle, Robin and the just-returned Nightwing – have built a cohesive team in their never-ending battle against evil; but their newest teammate, the mysterious and powerful Terra, may be altering that dynamic. Meanwhile, an ancient evil, Brother Blood, has awakened, and familiar foe Deathstroke is lurking in the shadows – both waiting to pounce. Ultimately, the Teen Titans will need to battle their enemies and their own doubts to unite and overcome the malicious forces around them in this twisting tale of intrigue, adventure and deception.

This lines up just a week before the crossover event titled “The Lazarus Contract” begins in the comics between Deathstroke (#19), Teen Titans, (#8), Teen Titans: Annual #1: The Lazarus Contract and Titans (#11) titles, so it’s quite smart to get more interested in those characters.
