Titans vol. 1: Out of the Shadows

Nightwing.  The Flash.  Beast Boy.  Donna Troy.  Starfire.  Cyborg.  Raven.  They once made up the most powerful group of teenage superheroes in the DCU.  These days they’re looking to step up in a world that’s currently without a Justice League.  So when the giant ape known as Titano attacks a nuclear power plant, that’s something […]
