A decision will change the life of a teen forever in ‘Beast Boy’
I had a great time reading Teen Titans: Raven. We see this character begin to develop new powers, and try to find a way to control them. While this is going on, they fear someone very powerful is trying to come back into their life. As this story came to a close, a teenage girls life would never be the same. Now we see a teenage boy make a life changing decision in Teen Titans: Beast Boy. I was able to get a digital copy of this graphic novel and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for Teen Titans Beast Boy here:
Garfield Logan has spent his entire life being overlooked. Even in a small town like Eden, Georgia, the seventeen-year-old with green streaks in his hair can’t find a way to stand out–and the clock is ticking. Senior year is almost over. If Gar doesn’t find a way to impress the social elite at Bull Creek High School, he will never know what it’s like to matter. Gar’s best friends, Stella and Tank, can’t understand why he cares what other people think, and they miss their funny, pizza-loving, video game-obsessed best friend.
Then Gar accepts a wild dare out of the blue. It impresses the popular kids, and his social status soars. But other things are changing, too. Gar grows six inches overnight. His voice drops, and suddenly, he’s stronger and faster. He’s finally getting everything he wanted, but his newfound popularity comes at a price. Gar has to work harder to impress his new friends. The dares keep getting bigger, and the stakes keep getting higher.
When Gar realizes the extent of his physical changes, he has to dig deep and face the truth about himself–and the people who truly matter–before his life spirals out of control.
I had an absolute blast reading this graphic novel. This story was about someone who wanted to stand out so bad they were willing to take a big risk. It seemed to work, until they began to notice some huge changes. They weren’t sure what was happening, but they had to find some way to control it. As this story comes to a close, Gar decides to go to someone who says they have answers about what is happening to him. If you liked Teen Titans: Raven then you will want to check this graphic novel out.
Teen Titans: Beast Boy is out now. You can order this graphic novel on Amazon and at Barnes and Noble.
