Tiny Titians : Welcome to the Treehouse
by Art Baltazar and Franco
DC Comics
There was a Tiny Titan comic available during last years Free Comic Book Day which I picked up and thought was pretty funny. Tiny Titans is a humorous comic where all the Teen Titans are drawn in a cartoony manner and usually telling a joke in a page or two. So when the first volume of the graphic novel came across my library selection list, I knew it would be a nice grab for our collection.
When it came in, I gave it a read through which only took about 15 minutes. The jokes were funny and insightful to the DC Universe. One joke is where they make fun of Robin since he doesn't have any super powers, until Batman shows up in the batmobile to pick him up after school. Then they all want to be non-superpowered sidekicks. Another funny bit is where Trigon shows up as the substitute teacher for their class and dotes all over Raven.
There are many inside jokes and references to whats happened in the "real" DC continuum. But anyone with a passing knowledge of the Teen Titans (Beast Boy can change into animals, Starfire has a thing for Robin, and the whole Terra thing) would have a fun time reading this.
Its not very deep, but like most kiddy ridres, lots of fun. I'm glad I picked it up for the library and hope it checks out often.
