The second arc in Geoff Johns' re-launch of the Teen Titans finds the team facing off against Deathstroke again, only this time he has help. Former Titan and daughter of Deathstroke Rose has become the new Ravager, and they get thrown into the mix when the Titans later race against time to save Raven from the evil Brother Blood. While there is solid action throughout and the story gets off to a kicking start, the two characters that we're supposed to feel sorry for, Raven and Rose, don't leave the reader feeling any real sympathies for. Both are on paths that aren't entirely in their control (thanks to their respective fathers), and it's only Rose that we feel anything for, and that doesn't happen until this TPB's last page. Despite that, A Family Lost is still a solid and enjoyable Titans story, and the art by Mike McKone and co. continues to be nothing but solid as well. All in all, if you enjoyed A Kid's Game, you'll probably enjoy this as well.

This is the second trade paperback of a truly great comic book. I first got hooked on the Teen Titans Cartoon on Cartoon Network and that made me investigate further until I realized that there is an ongoing comic book series of the same name written by Geoff Johns. Of the 3 trade Paperbacks: A Kid's Game, Family Lost, and Beast Boys and Girls, I can't say that anyone is my particular favorite, but Family Lost does focus on Raven's Return to the Teen Titans, and since she is one of my favorite characters this was a must have volume for me.

I must say that I did not expect much from this book when I bought it but was pleasently surprised to find out that I had not wasted my money. The art work is superb! I love it! And the story is pretty intesting too.
If you've seen the series on TV and think that this is just some lame comicbook version you're wrong. This is quite different from the series. It a more adult version (obviously if you look at StarFire's costume that's pretty clear).

In this second chapter of the saga of the new Titans the art continues to be very strong. However the story suffers in comparison to A Kid's Game.
The problem I believe is primarily Raven. Raven is a very very difficult character to sell to the reader. Despite the sympathetic background, the empath isn't a character that readers can warm up to. Add in the fact that the new Brother Blood is fairly goofy and the story really doesn't work.
The part of the story that works well is the minor plot of Deathstroke and Ravager. Lovely uniform for Ravager, and great cold-hearted characterization as well.
Development of the Titans both within the team and without continues, albeit slowly, very well. A true team spirit is beginning to develop. I hope the rebirth of the cold, aloof Raven does not forebode a bad turn in the camaraderie of the team.
