The Teen Titans mythology is definitely preserved and brought to new light under the wing of Geoff Johns and Tony Daniel. "Titans Around The World" begins One Year Later after the Infinite Crisis. The team is at a dark time and in disarray. Superboy is dead, Starfire is missing, Raven is gone, Gar is on a new team, Cyborg is broken, and Bart is the new Flash. There are new team members and new characters who really feel like they're part of the gang when Johns brings the past and the present together to make excellent storytelling as always. Conflict arises between teammates and the Titans must find out which past member was a traitor so they go around the world searching.
This is the first time we see Robin in his new Post Infinite Crisis outfit as well. Robin's overall character has taken a step in Batman's shadows, as he grew after the Crisis. A fallen team member from the past returns and Deathstroke ends us with an amazing glimpse into the next arc of Teen Titans. Many things are different and this story explains what happened over the lost year and we get to see first hand the repercussion of that. Johns dives deeper in the mythology of the characters and expands on the whole team to bring us somewhere new at the end with an expansion of characters that we love like the classic Titan characters now.

After a few shaky issues, Geoff Johns returns his relaunch of the Teen Titans to the great form that readers have come to expect from Johns' run. Around the World picks up after the cataclysmic events of Infinite Crisis, with the team in shambles. Superboy is dead, Kid Flash is all grown up and now the new Flash, Beast Boy and Raven are gone, and Starfire is likely dead as well. Robin, Wonder Girl, and Cyborg are still around though, and are joined by new members, including Ravager; better known as Rose, the daughter of Titans master villain Deathstroke. The Doom Patrol, or what's left of it anyway, are here as well, and Johns pens a more than solid super powered story which plants seeds for future events, including an interesting turn for Robin and Wonder Girl. Tony Daniels provides a majority of the artwork throughout this TPB, and his work is quite good. All in all, Around the World is a fine return to form for Johns' run on the Teen Titans, and here's hoping that the busiest writer at DC still has some tricks left up his sleeve.

Geoff Johns continues to impress with this next volume in the Teen Titans series. It is one year after the events of Infinite Crisis and the Teen Titans have gone through many different members one of whom is a traitor. Robin returns as does Wonder Girl both profoundly changed by the death of Superboy. Cyborg who was out of action after his time in space comes back, Ravager once an enemy is now an ally, Beast Boy and Raven are both MIA. Johns does a great job with his characters, keeping them constant but at the same time making sure they have evolved to keep the story sharp. Tony Daniels art is excellent and the only disappointing moment when Daniels is not the artist. It was nice to see Doom Patrol back in action. This collection was fun and overall excellent.
