DC’s latest Young Adult graphic novel, Teen Titans: Beast Boy, is a fun and adventurous coming of age story focusing on one of DC’s most charming heroes—you guessed it, Beast Boy!
In this highly anticipated new book, we are introduced to high school senior Gar Logan, who is anything but content with his own self, feeling scrawny, weak and smaller than the rest of his classmates. That is until one fateful day when he makes a decision that will change his life forever…and unleash his inner beast.
Gar’s biggest goal at the beginning of the story is perhaps one that a lot of male teens suffer from: wanting to be big, muscular and impressive. To fit in and be comparable to his classmates is key for him. In fact, Garcia and Picolo make it so clear to readers what Gar’s goals are, that they go so far to include a few panels of him reading off of his “Senior Year Bucket List.” Perhaps showing the readers his bucket list is foreshadowing—will Gar really stick to that list, or will his wishes and hopes for his future change as the story progresses?
This is a turning point in the book where Gar begins to discover some of his newfound powers and he is actually able to eat the pepper no problem…unlike his fellow competitors who had their insides practically burst into flames.
