- ...Was nudity all you guys bothered to pay close attention to?
Alright, I'm not trying to put you guys down or anything. I know you're just thinking about whats best for young viewers and such, but thats all you guys pretty much talked about in your reviews. Personally when I read your reviews before checking out this book, I thought Beast Boy and Star where taking a bath or something. Of course I was wrong.
Now heres my review:

If you guys read my review on "Teen Titans GO! vo. 1" than you can expect some more of the same in this review. Again the story is made of 5 chapters. Four in which are just random, but the last has a continuing plot.

Chapter 1: Storm
The Titans get word that their citys being torn up. When they go to find out what the problem is, they learn that the part of the city has become the battle ground of their new recent allys, Thunder and Lighting. Why the two are fighting is the real problem that has to be solved.

Chapter 2: How You Play the Game
Blackfire makes her return, but with no anger or threats. All she wants is to see who the better flyer/racer is between herself and Starfire. Starfire excepts the challange, but the rest of the Titans don't trust her. The rest of the team keep their eyes on the race, but things start getting strange when Blackfire begins to take detours in the race, and by no means to cheat.

Chapter 3: Naked City
Ahh...the emfamous naked chapter.
After taking down a series of robots, the Titans take time to hear the cries of fandom when a French man named D.D Ammo comes and askes for a faver of the Titans (or more of Star really). You see, he's a cloths designer and askes if they would be so kind to become spokesmodels and wear his cloths. Beast Boy decides to answer for her and accepts the offer however only BB and Star are the ones to wear them as the other Titans decline. As expected, D.D's cloths become popular in no time but that turns out to be bad news later on.

***Note, to get the naked thing out of the way, heres how it ends. Be warned of spoilers.***

*************************************************************

It turns out D.D was just a desguise. The real man behind this is the out of his head old man who wants to stay young, Mad Mod.

Within the clothing hides the power to hypnotize those wearing them. Now all of Jump City, and their two friends, are the Titans enemys and they have to stop them in any way they can.

They eventually find a way to stop those being controlled that involves sound waves and stuff. The molecules of the fabric are torn apart but in turn of doing that, the clothing itself is destroyed.
Don't fret, as you all have heard nothing is shown. Weither something "bad" is being covered by someones hands, or blocked by heads or something, we know they are nude. However in case you missed what I said, NOTHING WAS SHOWN. Not even a shot of the rear (I'm sure your aware that that part of the body has been shown on tv, on both adult and children shows).
They weren't trying to be disgusting, they where going for humor. Beast Boy's expression when he finds out he's in the nude is halarious, but its beaten by the next few panals. Starfire is ready to pound in Mod, but all Raven has to say is "You really ought to wait for a costume Starfire....Otherwise the boys won't be able to help it."
And to all of you with dirty minds reading this, it just showed Cyborg and Robin holding back loads of laughter and Starfire, bless her innocent heart, is clueless and doesn't get it. Am I the only one finding this stuff funny?

Chapter 4: War Machine
Gizmo has some new inventions in store for the Titans so Cyborg and an old friend think of their own inventions to construct and take him on with.

Chapter 5: Finding Nero
Readings of a sea monster atracts the attention of the Titans and so they go after it. But everytime they get a chance to stop it, Aqualad stops them. Whys he doing this? Answers await in the next book. *More Starfire/Raven loving Aqualad momments ahead*

I had fun with these storys and most of the time the arts pretty good (the only chapter art I didn't care for was chapter 3), some plots dragged, but some where pretty entertaining.
If you liked the first, give this a look at.
Remember, don't knock anything just because someones naked in it :D.
Thanks for your time.

- It'd be Okay if...
This comic book would be okay if they had skiped the one called "Naked City", or at least change it around. What I didn't like about it was that Beastboy and Starfire where nude in it. And Raven looked so much diffrent. This was sooo not made by the producer of Teen Titans!

- I was surprised...
Let me begin by letting you know I'm a mom, not a young boy. I bought this book for my son, who owns volume one. We've read volume one together, we liked it and so I went ahead and bought this one.
The book is sturdy, well drawn and has O.k. dialogue and story lines (typical comic book stuff). I thought it was just like the t.v. cartoon.
I was surprised and a little disappointed that in one of the stories (the book has a few short stories not one long one) it showed a few people totally undressed. The pictures weren't completely revealing; the characters all used their hands to cover up, or were covered by something else in the foreground, but a lot of flesh was shown. I'd say a bit more than in most bathing suits. I'm sure plenty of parents wouldn't think it was a big deal, but as a somewhat conservative parent, I would've skipped this volume had I known.
