3
4	''Teen Titans Go!'' is a {{comics}} series that ran for 55 issues from 2003 to 2008. It is based on the animated series ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', which ''itself'' is based on [[ComicBook/TeenTitans an older comics series of the same name]]. Like the cartoon, it is {{animesque}} and intended primarily for pre-teen boys, but did not shy away from somewhat darker material as the series progressed. It featured one-shot gags in the page margins presented by [[SuperDeformed chibi]] versions of the cast, as well as continuations or expansions of plotlines from the series. Most issues, however, presented stand-alone plots.
5
6	As expected, the series features the Teen Titans: Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven, five young [[SuperHero costumed superheroes]], and their adventures in Jump City. Some issues [[ADayInTheLimelight shift the focus onto secondary characters]] such as Larry and Terra, or even villains like the H.I.V.E. graduates, in addition to some characters from the original comics who did not appear in the cartoon, such as Rose Wilson, Geo-Force, and Wonder Girl.
7
8	If you're looking for the 2013 semi-revival cartoon, [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo go here.]] It is also not to be confused with the digital comic with the same title based on the revived series, officially termed by DC as ''TTG'' volume 2.
9	----
10	!!Tropes:
11	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Kitten is one for Robin as always, but the series introduces one for her in turn -- a teenage Riddler copy named Kwiz Kid. In his debut issue, he tries to stump Robin with his riddles in order to endear himself to her, only for her to reveal she was only going along with his plan so she could get Robin to come to her.
12	* AbledInTheAdaptation: The comic's depiction of [[ComicBook/DialHForHero Robby Reed]] noticeably doesn't wear glasses.
13	* AdaptationAmalgamation: While this series is a comic adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', it adopts more material from the ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' comics than the original cartoon. One of the first big adaptations was the introduction of Sarah Simms, who was a LoveInterest of Cyborg's in the comics.
14	* AdaptationDyeJob: Although a minor character that wound up not amounting to anything beyond a cameo, Aquagirl, as opposed to the earlier "Gill Girl" in the run, was greatly revamped when she made her debut. Her hair went from being brown to a deep green, and her blue eyes became gold along with suddenly becoming blue-skinned, having webbed hands and feet, and some gill markings on her face.
15	* AdaptationExpansion: Backstories, expanded filler, and even post-Season 5 ideas are given deeper detail all throughout the comic's run.
16	* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the original comics, Killowat was a time traveler trying to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong. Here, he's from an alternate universe and is trying to get back home.
17	* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: [[spoiler: Issue 52 features the appearance of [[ComicBook/DialHForHero Robby Reed]] but there's a twist: while he can transform into different original heroes, the Dial "borrows" the abilities from a nearby hero to do it.]]
18	* AllThereInTheManual:
19	** The name of the city was never stated in [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the series proper]]. The tie-in comic named the city as "Jump City" and the fandom took this and ran with it.
20	** The comic also confirms that Robin is Dick Grayson for those who couldn't take the hint from watching the show.
21	* AlternateUniverse: Issue 48, "Wrong Place, Wrong Time", goes through a few of these in an attempt to get Killowat back to his own world, starting with the world of the [[EvilTwin Teen Tyrants]].
22	* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Issue 28 has the Doom Patrol sharing a lot of stories from Beast Boy's childhood with the Titans.
23	* AndTheAdventureContinues: The 55th issue concludes with Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg going forth to stop Gizmo and a new HIVE Five.
24	* AndThisIsFor: In "Nearly Nabbed Me", the first story from Issue 40, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Robin repay members of the HIVE Five for respectively dropping a bus on her head, getting him zapped by mall security on accident, getting his car towed, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking getting pizza sauce on his cape.]]
25	* AngerBornOfWorry: Not directed at the person in particular: [[spoiler:Geo-Force is furious at the Titans initially, assuming they corrupted Terra because he's been searching for her for years and then he calls them out for not thinking to investigate where she came from or to find out if she had family. He only calms down on seeing she's safe and happy]].
26	* {{Animesque}}: To match the show.
27	* ArtShift: From issue to issue due to a rotating number of artists.
28	* AscendedExtra:
29	** Remember that goth kid from "Sisters"? He and Raven are dating.
30	** Issue 48 gives Kilowatt ADayInTheLimelight.
31	** Private HIVE, Psimon and Phobia each have issues where they get to be the BigBad.
32	* {{Backstory}}:
33	** Issue 45 covers Beast Boy and Cyborg (two-parter).
34	** 46 covers Starfire while also introducing her long-lost brother, Wildfire.
35	** Half of Issue 47 covers Robin.
36	** Issue 51, "Metamorphosis", covers Terra and her brother Geo-Force.
37	* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Gill Girl wears only a bathing suit. Hardly surprising, considering that she's a [[FishPeople Fish Person]] with webbed feet.
38	* BaseballEpisode: 33, "The Strangest Sports Story Ever Told". Which, amusingly, features a ShoutOut to the ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' comic with the same plot:
39	-->'''Raven:''' Please. You got this idea from... some old comic book.
40	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Beast Boy tells Dr. Light this when Dr. Light [[spoiler:gets electrocuted trying to get Cyborg's battery's power.]]
41	* BerserkButton: Red Raven, in her self-titled issue 44 (a continuation of 42), attacks and destroys anything having to do with fathers (Founding Fathers display at the museum, Fathers Day gifts at stores, etc.).
42	* TheBigRace: Kid Flash versus Más y Menos in Issue #34.
43	* BookEnds: The cover art of the first and last issues of the series feature the Titans putting up posters.
44	* BrainBleach: PlayedWith. In Issue #39, Raven reveals that, in the midst of her failed attempts to undo Larry's misuse of CupidsArrow, she has also brewed a potion to keep herself from throwing up from all the nauseating romance.
45	* BrickJoke: In one of the earlier issues, the Titans comment that Robin once gave a communicator to their mailman. Fast-forward to the issue introducing the Fearsome Five: Robin gives Jinx her communicator while the team comments in the background that he had to ask for it back from the same mailman.
46	* TheCameo:
47	** "Regarding Robin" from issue 47 ends with ComicBook/{{Batman}} himself, watching the Titans from afar and [[SoProudOfYou proud of what Robin has become]].
48	** Issue 38 has brief appearances from the cast of ''ComicBook/BlueMonday'', whose creator was the artist for the issue.
49	** New versions of Aqua Girl, Golden Eagle, and Azrael, recurring allies from the ''New ComicBook/TeenTitans'', appear briefly on a screen in Issue 50. Mirage and Flamebird also appear, but Mirage appeared in an earlier issue, and both will appear in a later issue as well.
50	* CanonForeigner:
51	** It features some newly-created villains exclusive to this continuity (and who never got to be in the show), such as the Kwiz Kid (a teenage {{Expy}} of the Riddler), Kid Kold and Ice Kate (younger counterparts to the Flash Rogues Captain Cold and Golden Glider), and the trio of Rock, Paper, and Scissors.
52	** There's also Aqualad's friend Gill Girl, who appears to be a cross between Aquagirl and Lagoon Boy.
53	** Mr. Wolf, a short nerdy man cursed with werewolfism.
54	** The Agent, a demonic entity who uses RottenRockAndRoll to create a ZombieApocalypse in Issue 19.
55	** The Lanista, overseer of the GladiatorGames of Issue 32.
56	* CelebrityParadox: Starfire is a fan of ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi''. Since the Teen Titans don't have a cartoon for which [[Music/PuffyAmiYumi the band]] recorded the theme, how exactly did they become popular enough in the West to get a cartoon?
57	* CerebusSyndrome: Much like the show it was based on, the comics began lighthearted and humourous, [[LighterAndSofter to the point of skewing toward even younger kids]] with {{Knock Knock Joke}}s and "What Am I" riddles in the panel margins, but slowly began to incorporate more complex stories and even two-parters, though still much less epic than the animated series.
58	* ChristmasEpisode:
59	** Issue [[RuleOfSymbolism 25]], "Secret Santa".
60	** 37, "Winterlude", is set the day after Christmas (though probably not the ''same'' Christmas as issue 25), and is narrated poetically in the style of ''Literature/TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas''. Which is a ShoutOut to a similar issue from ''ComicBook/YoungJustice''.
61	* CityOfAdventure: The city from the series is finally named here: Jump City.
62	* CompositeCharacter: In issue 52 Changeling, Power Boy, Lagoon Boy, Jesse Quick, and Protector are all aliases of [[ComicBook/DialHForHero Robby Reed]].
63	* CorporateSponsoredSuperhero: Issue 16 shows that Aqualad does ads for Sea King Snorkeling.
64	* CreatorCameo: Writer J. Torres and artist Todd Nauck appear in the last page of issue 18.
65	* {{Crossover}}: With ''ComicBook/DialHForHero'' in issue 52. [[spoiler: The Dial's stealing other Titans' powers for Robby to use, instead of granting him whole-new ones, though. Robby gives the dial-up once he finds out.]]
66	* CryingWolf: The effective plot of Issue #2, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Beast Boy Who Cried Wolf]]".
67	* ADayInTheLimelight: Issue #30 has a story focused on Speedy and Aqualad.
68	* DisappointedByTheMotive: In Issue #41, Raven is disappointed that [[spoiler:Kitten's evil alter egos were just a way to get her father's attention.]]
69	* DistaffCounterpart: Issue 41, "Bad Girls", introduces Pink X, Mad Maud, Joystick, Marionette, and Daughter Blood. [[spoiler:They're all the same girl, though: Killer Moth's daughter Kitten.]]
70	* DownerEnding: Issue 27 is one for Cyborg - his girlfriend Sarah breaks up with him, Starfire is angry at him, and Jinx is a {{Yandere}} for him.
71	* EccentricFashionDesigner: Mad Mod disguises himself as a kooky foreign fashion designer named D.D. Ammo in an attempt to control the minds of Jump City's inhabitants. Robin makes a comment on the clothes, saying they're outdated or something.
72	* EngineeredPublicConfession: The Titans do this to Professor Chang, when he tries to kidnap Lightning and sell him to a Sultan as a fake genie.
73	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Issue 41 and Issue 44 show that Kitten doesn't just use her father, Killer Moth, to get what she wants all the time; she does sincerely love him too.
74	* FishPeople:
75	** Gill Girl, who debuts in issue 10 and has a couple of [[TheCameo cameos]] in later issues, resembles the Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon as [[http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq21/ulticomicref/Hero/Titans%20Cartoon/GillGirl.jpg a cute teenage girl]].
76	** The version of Aquagirl seen in issue 50 and the chibis seems to be a less extreme example, falling somewhere between looking like a fish person (with gills, webbed feet and blue skin) and being more humanoid (with her face and hair).
77	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Blackfire's choice of words in the beginning of issue 7 ("You are absolutely priceless, Starfire! This should be rather...''rewarding!"'') are early hints on what she ''actually'' plans to do with her sister.
78	* FreakyFridayFlip: Beast Boy and Mento once did this due to the former fiddling with latter's helmet. Rita describes it as their "Wacky Wednesday".
79	* FuzzTherapy: One issue has the plot revolve around Hot Spot trying to find a way to calm down. This turns out to be the solution.
80	* GiftOfTheMagiPlot: For Christmas, Beast Boy bought Cyborg stainless steel custom monogrammed hubcaps for the T-car and says they're for the new tires Cyborg just bought. Unfortunately, Cyborg returned those tires and used the money to buy Raven an antique made of genuine petrified wood from the black forest because her books are taking over her room. Ironically, she sold some of her books to buy Starfire a food processor in hopes it'll help her cook better. Cyborg even brings up ''Literature/TheGiftOfTheMagi'' to describe the situation.
81	* [[GiveHimANormalLife Give Her a Normal Life]]: When Geo-Force finds out whats happened to Terra, he doesn't bother revealing himself to her, noticing it's the first time he's seen her happy. [[spoiler: Terra, spotting and recognizing him, watches as he leaves.]]
82	* GrievousHarmWithABody: Issue 23 has Control Freak try to hit Cyborg over the head with a dummy arm. Cyborg is not impressed and detaches his own arm to play the game too.
83	* HandOrObjectUnderwear: The citizens of Jump City left naked as a result of Cyborg's sonic weaponry destroying their hypnotic clothing in issue eight are shown desperately trying to use their own hands to obscure their privates the instant they realize they're nude.
84	* HeelFaceTurn: In Issue 19, Johnny Rancid is trying to make an honest living through music, and isn't happy to learn that his songs are creating zombies thanks to making a DealWithTheDevil.
85	* HumongousMecha: Issue 9 introduces the Titans Go-Bot 5, which the team uses to fight Gizmo's giant robot. It's later used to fight a Professor Chang-controlled Beast Boy, a.k.a Garsaurus Rex.
86	* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: Dr. Light wants Cyborg's battery but doesn't know which part of the latter is it. He says he's a supervillain, not a mechanic.
87	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Starfire does not react to ending up naked near the end of the eighth issue and is even oblivious of Cyborg and Robin staring at her with amused grins. [[TruerToTheText This is quite in-line with her original comic version.]]
88	* InterspeciesRomance: Besides Robin with Starfire, there's also Gill Girl with a turtle named Nero.
89	* KnockKnockJoke: Beast Boy occasionally comes up with them.
90	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter:
91	** Cassie, a.k.a. Wonder Girl 2, who shows up in the next to last issue of the series. She does get a cameo in the final issue however.
92	** Flamebird and Mirage also show up as new Titans in cameos in the final issue, although an alternate future version of Mirage appeared in an earlier story (issue 48) and Flamebird had a brief cameo in issue 50, on a screen showing potential new Titans (along with ''GO!'' versions of Azrael,[[note]]The alien "space angel" hero who appeared in an arc of the original New Teen Titans comic, not to be mistaken with the '90s anti-hero of the same name[[/note]] Aquagirl, and Golden Eagle, who otherwise never got roles in the series). Two Titans named "Soldier Boy" and "Soldier Girl", who both wear costumes similar to Private HIVE, also cameo in the final story.
93	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In ''"Magic and Misdirection"'', Mumbo opens a trap door that makes Beast Boy fall out of the panel. Starfire and Terra follow, and we're treated to a few pages of them wandering around the borders of the page while SuperDeformed.
94	* LeastRhymableWord: In Issue #42, Raven asks the readers "Why do poets hate the colors orange, purple, and silver?". The answer is "Well, you try coming up with rhymes for those words!".
95	* LegacyCharacter: An interesting variation: issue 54, "Makes You Wonder", features Cassie Sandsmark attempting to usurp Donna Troy's position as Wonder Girl.
96	* LensmanArmsRace: Issue #9 has one of these happen between Cyborg and Gizmo, with Fixit presiding.
97	* LightBulbJoke: Mumbo Jumbo asks "How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb?" and answers "Depends on what you want it changed to!"
98	* LighterAndSofter: The series is a lot more laid back in tone than the cartoon it was based on, to the point of even seeming to skew toward a younger audience in its first issues, with {{Chibi}}-fied characters making jokes, simple riddles, and games for the reader, and even when it later incorporated the show's more complex plots, they are considerably smaller in scope.
99	* LotusEaterMachine: 38, "It's a Mod, Mod, Mod, Mod World."
100	* MagicSkirt: Weirdly disregarded for Issue #20; turns out Blackfire wears shorts under her skirt.
101	* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: One issue sees Warp try and alter the timeline by replacing Batman as Robin's mentor, molding him into a money-hungry potential villain. Nightwing's intervention leads to the changes getting undone.
102	* MarsNeedsWomen: Or rather [[ForScience Braboldian scientists want super powered females for their experiments]]; Issue #36, "Troy."
103	* McNinja: At least one movie of the Super Ninja Fury movie series Cyborg and Beast Boy watch features Canadian ninjas.
104	* MesACrowd: "Pieces of Me:" Raven's "emoticlones" are let loose by accident, and several of them run amuck throughout the city.
105	* MythologyGag:
106	** Issue #18 has Larry put the Titans "all back the way you should be:"
107	*** Starfire acquires her mainstream version's hair and exclaims "X'Hal!"
108	*** Beast Boy gets his old Doom Patrol costume.
109	*** Robin gets an older version of his costume. [[UnderwearOfPower With no real pants.]]
110	*** Raven gets a [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] hung on her more goth like appearance.
111	** The ''Teen Titans'' cartoon AdaptedOut Chief from its version of the ComicBook/DoomPatrol. In Issue #28, Mento mentioned Beast Boy had a puppy named "Chief".
112	** When "Beast Boy" is forced to participate in GladiatorGames in Issue #32, The Lanista refers to him as "Changeling", which was another of Beast Boy's {{Code Name}}s in the comics.
113	** The 36th issue has Robin work together with Speedy, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Wonder Girl. In the comics, they were the members of the first Teen Titans. Beast Boy also has an understated but important role in the issue, possibly reflecting his early appearance and almost-membership of the Titans in the 1960s comic series.
114	** In Issue #39, a Valentine's Day issue, Speedy and Cheshire get hit by an arrow, and fall in love. In the comics, they briefly fell in love, and had a child together.
115	** Also in Issue #39, Andre l'Blanc mistakenly assumes he's been cornered by the Doom Patrol, but it's actually Beast Boy, Herald, and Bumblebee--in the mainline comics, these three Titans joined the Doom Patrol following the events of ''ComicBook/OneYearLater''.
116	** In Issue #43, Psimon attempts to form a team called "The Fearsome Five" to take down the Titans, whose members are himself, Dr. Light, Gizmo, Mammoth, and [[TheMole Jinx]]. With the exception of Jinx, this is the same roster as the original Fearsome Five from the Wolfman/Pérez [[ComicBook/TeenTitans New Teen Titans]] run. (That continuity's version of Jinx would eventually join the team, but she was not a founding member.)
117	** The Teen Tyrants of Issue #48, three of whom are Red Robin, Arsenal, and Tempest -- the same names used by certain older versions of Robin, Speedy, and Aqualad. As their team name indicates, they're decidedly twisted versions.
118	*** The same issue has a heroic version of Madame Rouge named Gemini, a reference to Rouge's daughter. There's also a heroic female version of Dr. Light, modeled after Kimiyo Hoshi.
119	*** It also features Raven opening doors to various alternate realities, including the original flavor ''Teen Titans'' from the Silver Age, and in a blink and you'll miss it peek, Secret and Lobo of ''ComicBook/YoungJustice.''
120	** In Issue 50, Beast Boy is surprised to see Speedy, who left the Titans to join the Justice League off-screen--a nod to Speedy's appearance in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited''. The same issue ends with the Titans officially restructuring into an official global organization and expanding their outreach, effectively making themselves Teen Titans Unlimited.
121	** In Issue 52, the various heroes who steal the Teen Titans' thunder and powers take their {{Code Name}}s from the original comics, including "Changeling", "Jesse Quick", "Power Boy", "Lagoon Boy", and even "Protector".
122	** Issue 54 reveals that the BattleCry for the Amazons is ''"ComicBook/AmazonsAttack"''
123	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: ''Everyone in Jump City'' (except Robin, Raven, and Cyborg) is naked by the end of issue eight. ItMakesSenseInContext.
124	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: According to the Wildfire issue, Blackfire has sold off Starfire to the Gordanians, to keep them from invading Tamaran. Watching the episode "Go!" from the main cartoon shows how well this turned out.
125	* NoodleIncident: Issue #47 compares Starfire's bright and sunny morning routine with Raven's dour and grumpy routine--Raven in particular is grumbling about a "stupid Beast Boy nightmare" that involved a "[[FrankensteinsMonster tofu-stein monster]]" and a musical number.
126	* NotMeThisTime: After the events of "Bad Girls", a later issue has Robin facing Jade Wilson, daughter of his arch nemesis Slade. Robin's first reaction is that it's Kitten posing as the offspring of other villains to get her father's attention, ''again'', but it turns out Jade Wilson's the real deal.
127	* NotSoStoic: Stylistic choice here, but a lot of the more humorous issues feature Raven being happy and laughing alongside the other Titans, without any outside influence.
128	* OffOnATechnicality: In Issue #41, Killer Moth is free and says he paid his debt to society. Raven says he "got off on some pointless technicality".
129	* OfficialCouple: As of the Valentines' Day issue #39, Robin and Starfire are going on double-dates with Cyborg and Sarah Simms.
130	* OriginsEpisode:
131	** Issue #45 features Beast Boy's and Cyborg's origins.
132	** Issue #47 features Robin's origin.
133	* OutOfCharacterAlert: In Issue #42, after [[spoiler:the Teen Titans think they got all parts of Raven's personality back, Robin finds it odd "she didn't so much as frown at Beast Boy" for causing that mess in the first place. The Trigon-eyed Raven is still at large and shows a [[SequelHook "the end?" sign]].]]
134	* PoorCommunicationKills: More like Poor Communication is Painful: The plot of Issue #6 "Storm" stems from Lightning fighting Thunder because the former misheard the latter as insulting him.
135	* PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: Issue 27 - [[Music/PatBenatar "Love is a Battlefield"]].
136	* PowersAsPrograms:
137	** How the Master of Games' amulet treats all powers; in Issue #24, a plot by Katarou leads to the gem being broken and the five Titans' powers swapped between each other.
138	** The H Dial used by Robby Reed gives him powers that have been removed from other superheroes.
139	* RaceLift: Although a minor example (as the series was cancelled before he or others could be developed), the cameo of Golden Eagle falls under this. In the original comics, he's a blond Californian teenager. In ''Go!,'' he's revamped to be an Egyptian boy, probably to tie him better into the original Hawkman mythology.
140	* TheReveal:
141	** Issue #16 has a pretty big surprise for the Titans, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments especially Beast Boy.]] [[spoiler: The child Starfire has been spending the day with at the mall, trying to help him find his parents? He's their ally ''Wildebeest!'']]
142	** The first half of Issue #47, "Regarding Robin," reveals without a doubt, that Robin is in fact [[spoiler: Dick Grayson.]]
143	** According to "Metamorphosis," [[spoiler: the schoolgirl ''is'' Terra. [[BigBrotherInstinct Geo-Force can tell]].]]
144	** [[spoiler: Ravager, a.k.a. Rose Wilson (''Slade's daughter'') appears and attacks the Titans, then joins them.]] It makes you wonder what Season 6 might have been like...
145	* [[RiseOfZitboy Rise of Zitgirl]]: Raven in Issue #5, "Monster Zit."
146	* TheRunaway: It's revealed that [[spoiler:Terra when she was a little girl ran away from home, because adults there wanted to use her and her brother to gain power. Geo-Force, aka Brion Markov, couldn't search for her at first because he had to get rid of the corrupt adults but he's been worried sick]].
147	* SadisticChoice: For Geo-Force, when [[spoiler:corrupt adults tried to use him and his sister to stage a coup, Terra ran away when the adults ended up causing her PowerIncontinence. Geo-Force was forced to clean up his country before he could start looking for her, and even then his search took years]].
148	* SceneryCensor: When Beast Boy and Starfire are left naked as a result of Cyborg's sonic weaponry destroying their hypnotic clothing in the eighth issue, Raven's arm obscures Starfire's breasts while Robin's head covers up Beast Boy and Starfire's pubic areas.
149	* SecretLegacy: Terra, [[spoiler: as it turns out she's a princess of a kingdom.]]
150	* ShipTease: While the early comic made Raven and Goth Boy an OfficialCouple, the later issues began making hints about Beast Boy and Raven.
151	** In issue 42, Raven's aggressively flirty purple emoticlone hunts Goth Boy down at a theme park and proceeds to embarrass him into dragging her out of the park. Once he runs off in disgust (the last time he shows up in the comic), the emoticlone finds Beast Boy standing behind her and latches onto him.
152	--->'''Melvin:''' ''Hee-hee. [[LampshadeHanging I think she likes him]].''
153	** In Issue 47, Raven's day starts with her grumbling about a "Beast Boy nightmare" that appears to have involved a musical number.
154	** After Phobia's nightmares are dispelled in Issue #55, Beast Boy nervously consults with Raven about a dream featuring the two of them and [[KissingDiscretionShot either Valentine's Day or mistletoe]]. Raven curtly answers that [[SharedDream she'd prefer not to relive it]].
155	** Later in the same issue, Raven makes a crack at Beast Boy's expense that provokes him to threaten to disinvite her to a Dayton family barbecue--naturally implying he's already invited her to a get-together with his family.
156	* ShipperOnDeck:
157	** Starfire pretty vocally ships Cyborg / Sarah Simms, playing Cupid for them, and arranging their date in the Valentine's issue of ''Teen Titans Go!'' (#27).
158	** Robin takes Starfire on a date in Issue #4, with Beast Boy and Cyborg following along to annoy him with advice.
159	** Issue #39, another Valentines' Day issue, begins with Larry playing with his dolls and musing how it would be if everyone were in love... and then decides to take matters into his own hands by deploying CupidsArrow (from the actual Cupid/Eros, no less).
160	* ShoutOut:
161	** Riddle in Issue #9 says "[[Film/WarGames A game in which only winning move is not to play.]] What am I?"
162	** In Issue #20, we can see that Speedy's handle in multiplayer games is "Shaft," which is also the name of Speedy's {{expy}} from ComicBook/YoungbloodImageComics.
163	** The artist tends to cram in tons of references to ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000.''
164	** Starfire is a fan of Music/PuffyAmiYumi and their [[WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi cartoon series]]. (J. Torres worked as an animator on the show.)
165	** Issue #25 has a ''Literature/TheGiftOfTheMagi'' reference during the Titans' Secret Santa and Cyborg even calls the story by name.
166	** In Issue #29, Cyborg mumbles "Rassmfrassmstarfire" in a similar way to ''[[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines Muttley grumbling about Dick Dastardly]]''.
167	** Issue #33 has a ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' reference.
168	-->'''Mallah:''' Okay, you ween! Zat plan deedn't work, but you must admit zat it was an amusing distraction... So, what are we going to do tomorrow night, Brain?
169	-->'''Brain:''' The same thing we do every night, Mallah... Try to take down the Teen Titans!
170	** During a race in Issue #34, Kid Flash makes ''[[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner "Beep Beep"]]''.
171	** Issue #38 has a story titled [[Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld "It's a Mod, Mod, Mod, Mod World".]]
172	** After Beast Boy tells his origin to some kids, one of them suggests he must've been bitten [[ComicBook/SpiderMan by some radioactive dork]]. Early on that story, Beast Boy said he was bitten by a radioactive unicorn from another dimension.
173	** In Issue #48, during a battle between the Teen Titans and the Teen Tyrants, Beast Boy turns into a rabbit and Speedy's Teen Tyrant counterpart says [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes "Be very, very quiet! I'm hunting rabbit!"]].
174	** In Issue #55, Beast Boy refers to his childhood home as ''[[Series/Batman1966 "Stately]]'' Dayton Manor".
175	* SlowAndSteadyWinsTheRace: Where "slow" is relative in TheBigRace between {{Super Speed}}sters. Más y Menos are clearly the underdogs compared to Kid Flash, but since the Fastest Kid Alive took the time to flirt with every pretty girl he met along the way, he gave his girlfriend Jinx cause to accost him right before the finish line, giving the Tornado Twins the chance to take the win.
176	* SnapBack: There are stories that clearly take place ''after,'' the fifth and final season of the show, and yet nearly every villain in the show's run was frozen in the end.
177	* SpannerInTheWorks:
178	** Larry and his hare-brained Shipping scheme does this a lot to the Titan's attempts to stop Andre Leblanc in Issue #39.
179	** In Issue #55, Phobia would've gotten away of trapping the Titans inside their worst nightmares, [[spoiler: if not for Silkie hitting the Tower's wake-up alarm.]]
180	* SparedByTheAdaptation: An interesting example is given in the issue explaining the origins of Cyborg and Beast Boy. Cyborg's origin establishes that his mother is still alive and helped his father fit their son with his robotic parts even though she was killed in the same accident that injured her son in the original comics and is implied to be deceased in the animated series this comic book is based on.
181	* SuperDeformed: Other than the margin gags, there's also Issue #18: "When Chibis Attack." Raven even explicitly refers to their tiny counterparts as "chibi."
182	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
183	** Ice Kate and Kid Cool are teenage versions of Golden Glider and Captain Cold.
184	** The Kwiz Kid is basically a younger Riddler
185	** Gill Girl is a mashup of Aquagirl and Lagoon Boy (an actual version of Aquagirl would later be briefly seen towards the end of the series as an image on a screen, as well as in a chibi gag).
186	** Kitten becomes one of Duela Dent when she masquerades as the daughters of numerous villains.
187	* TakeThatAudience: In "Stupid Cupid," Raven remarks on how all the "shipping" is stupid, after Larry attempts to pair up all the Titans with each other. Depending on the fan, they might have either liked it, hated it, or felt indifferent.
188	* TimeyWimeyBall: In Issue #31, a villain changes Robin's past to become his mentor and the other titans are helped by Good!Robin's future self a.k.a. Nightwing. During the epilogue, Beast Boy wonders how that Nightwing could exist at the same time as Bad!Robin and Raven handwaves it by saying they don't fully understand how TimeTravel works.
189	* TookALevelInJerkass: Raven is a bit snarkier than she is in the animated series, most notably ranting on how pointless she considers such times of year as Valentine's Day and Halloween, even belittling her friends for expressing their enjoyment of the holidays.
190	* TruerToTheText: This series integrates more material from the source comics than ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003''.
191	** This series introduces Sarah Simms, one of Cyborg's {{Love Interest}}s from the ''New Teen Titans''.
192	** Issue 8 has Mad Mod using hypnotic clothes, referencing his comic origins as a fashion designer.
193	** Issue 43 sees the creation of the Fearsome Five, the five-man team that Jinx, Gizmo, Mammoth, Dr. Light, and Psimon all belonged to in the ''New Teen Titans''.
194	** Issue 46 belatedly introduces Starfire's little brother, albeit under the name "Wildfire", unique to this comic. (In the source comics, Ryand'r's name works out to "Darkfire").
195	** Issue 49 briefly shows Wintergreen residing in Slade's old residence with a picture of Slade himself in safari gear, looking exactly like he does in the source material.
196	* TwoWordsAddedEmphasis: This line from Beast Boy when he and Cyborg are discussing two Super Ninja Fury movies and arguing over which one is better.
197	-->'''Beast Boy:''' Two words, Cyborg: Canadian ninjas.
198	* UnderTheMistletoe: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Starfire in Issue 25; her Secret Santa gift to Robin is simply holding up a sprig of mistletoe between the two of them.
199	* UnreliableNarrator:
200	** In Issue #40, some H.I.V.E. 5 villains recall past run-ins with the Teen Titans. The flashbacks show that, in most cases, escaping the heroes took more luck and less skill than their narrations suggest.
201	** When Beast Boy narrates his origin, he messes up several details and keeps forgetting where his parents were and which creature they were dealing with.
202	* VanityLicensePlate: Cyborg once had a car with CBG - 010 as a license plate. Surprisingly, it was ''before'' he became '''C'''y'''b'''or'''g'''.
203	* WhatTheHellHero: Geo-Force calls out the Titans for [[spoiler:not investigating Terra, his little sister, when she joined the team, and for not thinking she'd have a family or a home. He also doesn't admit it, but he's mad at Terra for running away and making him worry. As he puts it, he spent years searching for her, and when he heard she and Slade nearly destroyed Jump City he came as soon as he could]].
204	* WhenYouComingHomeDad: [[spoiler:Killer Moth's]] daughter did what she did in Issue #41 to get his attention because he's distracted with some [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination plot]].
205	* WholePlotReference: "Nearly Nabbed Me" from Issue 40 is one for [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Almost Got 'Im,]] [[spoiler: complete with UndercoverCopReveal.]]
206	* WomanScorned: [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WPx58qExf1M/UVD5iPc4rWI/AAAAAAAAChs/OvXNGnWNPyM/s1600/img020+copy.jpg Jinx isn't happy to see her boyfriend Kid Flash flirting with other girls and she makes sure he knows it.]]
207	* YouAreTooLate: A more mundane sort; by the time Geo-Force arrives [[spoiler:to find Terra and "rescue her" from people who have corrupted her, all the events of Season Five has happened, meaning Terra has became a statue, revived and lost her memory, and desires a normal life. Geo-Force decides to respect her wishes to stay normal]].
