The only reason I would ever touch anything by Kami Garcia is because Gabriel Picolo drew it. That's it. I have no idea how Garcia can fuck up a story bad enough that it goes from one of the most iconic stories of our time, to something almost completely unrecognizable.
There's the fact that Raven is a child, but Dick is in college. I don't know who at DC decided that Raven needed to be deaged, but it was a horrible fucking decision. Dick's experience on a teen superhero team is formative to his character--but now Damian is the one who joins the team first, and Dick is the tagalong??
Dick and Damian also don't know each other, and they bond over parkour. Because heterosexuals are a menace to society, and there are two boys and two girls, Damian has a horrifically clumsy, extremely forced relationship with Max. What the hell?! Who even is anybody in this story? It's like they took the characters you know and love and found some hemorrhoid commercial actors to cosplay as them.
Honestly Kami Garcia should have NOTHING to do with this series. They should have let Gabriel Picolo write and draw it. What a waste. What a shame.
