It reprints the first issues of The New Teen Titans, featuring the original lineup of Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West), Wonder Girl (Donna Troy), Cyborg (Victor Stone), Starfire (Koriand'r), Raven, and Changeling (Garfield Logan) as they face early threats like Deathstroke the Terminator, Trigon, and the HIVE. Written by Marv Wolfman with art by George Pérez, this collection marks the beginning of a landmark run that introduced lasting characters and storylines to the DC Universe.
"Where Nightmares Begin!" collects the early struggles of the New Teen Titans in a powerful, character-driven arc. George Pérez and Marv Wolfman deliver a poignant look at each Titan’s inner turmoil, as Raven’s soul is trapped in a dimension of torment, Cyborg connects with Sarah Simms and her students, Koriand'r shares a quiet day with Donna Troy and Terry Long, and Wally grapples with the weight of his future—whether to embrace heroism or pursue college. The story is illustrated with emotional depth by Pérez and Tanghal, with colors by Adrienne Roy and letters by Ben Oda, and the cover by Pérez captures the team’s fragility in striking detail.
In "null," Starfire flees the Gordanians only to land on Earth, where her arrival sets off a chain of events no one saw coming. Raven, pulling strings from the shadows, rallies a new team of Titans—old allies and fresh faces alike—to protect her before the Gordanians descend.
In "Today...the Terminator!" from New Teen Titans Archives #1, the H.I.V.E. attempts to hire the Terminator to eliminate the Teen Titans—only for him to refuse. In response, they empower Grant Wilson with Terminator-like abilities, transforming him into Ravager, who then takes up the contract. As the Teen Titans face this new threat, the Terminator tries to warn Ravager of the dangers of wielding such power, but his words fall on deaf ears.
In a heartfelt moment, Starfire shares memories of her past with the New Teen Titans, grounding the team in their shared history. As Raven warns of a dire threat—Trigon’s growing power—the Titans are suddenly ambushed by the newly formed Fearsome Five, a dangerous team assembled by Dr. Light.
In "Against All Friends!", the New Teen Titans race against time to prevent the Justice League from accidentally unleashing Trigon, only to discover that their own efforts have been shaped by Raven’s hidden hand. As the team grapples with betrayal and shifting loyalties, they must confront the unsettling truth that their reunion was never their choice.
In "Trigon Lives!", the terrifying demon Trigon breaches the Teen Titans' world, unleashing chaos and threatening Earth. As the Titans fight to hold the line, Raven confronts the painful truth behind her founding of the team, leading to a heart-wrenching choice that could change everything.
In "Assault on Titans' Tower!", the Fearsome Five launch a daring attack on the Titans' base, seeking to unleash Psimon from the void. As the team fights to defend their home, they uncover a shocking truth about the tower’s origins—and the tragic past that shaped Cyborg.
In "A Day in the Lives...", the New Teen Titans navigate personal struggles amid their usual heroics: Raven confronts a bombing at a college, only to find her soul self trapped in another dimension; Cyborg connects with student Sarah Simms and her class; Koriand'r shares a quiet day with Donna Troy and Terry Long; and Wally wrestles with the choice between embracing his superhero life or pursuing college. The story offers a grounded, character-driven look at their lives beyond the battle.
