[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10264″ img_size=”400×600″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Coming straight out of DC Ink is the brand new ‘Teen Titans: Raven’ graphic novel with New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia (Known for her work on
Beautiful Creatures) and fan-favorite artist Gabriel Picolo behind the all-new story.
Heres what we know so far about Ravens next big story: “When a tragic accident takes the life of seventeen-year-old Raven Roth’s foster mom—and Raven’s memory—she moves to New Orleans to live with her foster mother’s family and finish her senior year of high school. Starting over isn’t easy. Raven remembers how to solve math equations and make pasta, but she can’t remember her favorite song or who she was before the accident. When strange things start happening—impossible things—Raven starts to think it might be better not to know who she was in her previous life. But as she grows closer to her foster sister, Max, her new friends, and Tommy Torres, a guy who accepts her for who she is now, Raven has to decide if she’s ready to face what’s buried…and the darkness building inside her.”
Raven’s always been a really interesting character to me, especially within the Titans themselves but I feel like she hasn’t always been the most relatable to casual audiences. Despite what your opinions are on DC Universe’s Titans show you can’t deny that it has helped introduce characters like Raven to more mainstream audiences and hopefully, that’ll help give stories like this one some new attention. AS for DC Inks newest title, the small synopsis has already got me intrigued about Raven’s past and feeling for her because she’s always had the sympathetic side to her character and I think that really shines through here. Also, can we just appreciate that amazing cover art by Gabriel Picolo? The feather in Raven’s name is a seriously cool touch.
Speaking of DC Ink, you’d be forgiven for not knowing exactly what it is, so allow me to enlighten you. DC Ink is a new young adult graphic novel line from DC. The line will introduce DC’s most iconic Super Heroes to a new generation of fans with stories told by some of the most successful authors from the young adult publishing space. DC Ink titles will be standalone stories, not part of DC’s ongoing continuity, and completely accessible to new readers who have no previous knowledge of DC characters. I’m a huge fan of the fact that these are standalone stories which don’t require you to read 50 previous issues or have years of prior knowledge to understand. The line will launch in April 2019 with the release of
Mera: Tidebreaker by Danielle Paige with art by Stephen Byrne and is shaping up to be a really great way to introduce these classic characters to new audiences.
If DC Ink sounds like something you’d be interested in here is a quick sneak peek at some of the upcoming stories that will be available next year.
Mera: Tidebreaker by Danielle Paige, illustrated by Stephen Byrne: “Princess Mera is teenage royalty and heir to the throne of Xebel, a penal colony ruled by the other no-so-lost land under the sea, Atlantis. Her father, his court and the entire kingdom are expecting her to marry and introduce a new king. But Mera is destined to wear a different crown….”
Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale by Lauren Myracle, illustrated by Isaac Goodhart: When Selina Kyle, aka the future Catwoman, becomes homeless, she must confront questions of who she is and who she will become. From Lauren Myracle, the
New York Times best-selling author of books like
ttfn and
ttyl comes the story of a teenage Catwoman, as she struggles to find her own identity while living on the streets of Gotham City.”
