“Teen Titans: Raven takes all the best
traits of both comic books and YA lit
and merges them together to create an
evocative and exciting origin story.”
—Hypable
“As someone who spends half her life
inside Rachel’s head…it was impres-
sive to see her so effortlessly come to
life on the page! If you love Raven, this
is a must-read!”
—Teagan Croft, actress portraying
Raven in the DC Universe series Titans
“With Teen Titans: Raven, writer
Kami Garcia and artist Gabriel Picolo
have created a new and different look
for Raven, yet she still shares the DNA
of the mystical heroine created in 1980

—Marv Wolfman, co-creator of Raven
“Garcia’s ambitious origin story of
a Teen Titan is funny and unequivo-

illustrations are dynamic and nuanced.
Lovers of superheroes will appreciate
this complex origin story.”
—School Library Journal
“Picolo’s spare, effective use of color
and slightly edgy art helps situate
the story in a supernaturally tinged
world of high-school drama. Garcia’s
exploration of the connection between
