[3.5]
i dont understand the hate for this comic, i get that it isnt "canon" or that it was "fanfic-y" (i dont know much about dc/titan lore so obviously i dont understand the hate) but i'll rate this based on my reading experience.

Story:
i think that the story was a little surface-level, especially with the whole starfire/blackfire lore. The writing also feelings insufficient in some parts and the buildup towards Mandy and Claire's relationship was minimal. I wouldve liked Claire's apology to be more heartfelt but that's just me

Characters:
Mandy, the mc, seemed a little flat to me as we don't really see her whole personality outside being starfire's daughter and that she's goth and likes Claire. The same goes for Linc (bff) and Claire (LI) too. However, i like Mandy nonetheless, i think she's pretty badass and her fashion sense is amazing too. (also the way she confronts Blackfire was lowkey hilarious and so in-character)

Art:
absolutely amazing, i love how the lineless and vibrant style really fits the story and i especially love the designs of the Titans (again, idk titan lore so maybe they actually look like that in the comics) and omg Raven feature!! and her outfit is fire!! The graphic novel is also easy to follow and just so pleasing to the eye

All in all, the story didn't leave a huge impact on me but I enjoyed reading the graphic novel anyway :D
