DC Finest: Teen Titans: Terra in the Night!

The Titans’ greatest era ignites—and sparks character defining friendships and betrayals. Marv Wolfman and George Pérez introduce Terra, a new hero who may not be everything she seems, and whose arrival may spell the end for the Teen Titans as a team.

The saga of the New Teen Titans continues with this landmark new volume kicking off one of the most celebrated eras in the team’s storied history! After taking on Brother Blood and Starfire’s deadly sister, Blackfire, the team is on high alert when it is suddenly confronted with a new super-criminal who can manipulate the elemental forces of the Earth itself. But does the teenager who calls herself Terra ultimately intend to use her powers for evil—or for good?

DC Finest: Teen Titans: Terra in the Night! reprints Tales of the New Teen Titans #1-4, The New Teen Titans #21-32, The New Teen Titans Annual #1, Action Comics #536, and a series of never-before-collected stories from the three New Teen Titans specials published in cooperation with the President’s Drug Awareness Campaign.
