There, they must help the Legion of Superheroes stop a threat known as the Fatal Five Hundred. Their return drops them off a mere ten years into the future, but it's not a place they want to stay. Most of the team are horrified at what they grow up to become and what these adult Titans do to accomplish their goals. The final story brings them back home to welcome their newest member, Speedy, who arrives just in time to oppose Dr. Light. His memory restored, Dr. Light comes looking for retribution for the humiliating defeats the Titans have handed him over the years. The dark times of the future appear to be starting right about now..." -- Back cover |

BookList Review
Teen Titans VOL 04: the Future Is Now
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
Gr. 5-8. Comfortable imagining both character profiles or action scenes, Johns has written many of DC's flagship titles as well as its Infinite Crisis series, and this collection is a prime example of his talent. The Titans pop into their own future and contend with their dark, fascistic, older selves, returning home just in time for Robin to come to terms with his father's death--which leads into a massive free-for-all against the vengeance-crazed Doctor Light. Fast-paced, cinematic action along with simple, insightful dialogue illuminate the characters and keep the excitement high throughout; no character seems trivial, and the reader always knows what's at stake. Despite an ensemble of artists, the slick, unified flow of the illustrations puts this title in the top rank of superhero comics, and the characters' struggles to cope with restlessness, uncertainty, and the pressures of living up to a role model will strike a chord of recognition, even among readers who aren't usually comics fans. --Jesse Karp Copyright 2006 Booklist
