Review: Titans: Beast World Tour trade paperback (DC Comics)

Titans: Beast World Tour

There are winners and losers in the tie-in collection Titans: Beast World Tour, but above all it’s almost two-dozen stories checking in on the DC Universe’s current goings-on through a Beast World lens.

This is maybe the best way I’ve ever seen event tie-ins done — six 40-page issues, sufficient for one collection such that Beast World never seems bloated or endless, and so steeped in what’s now or what’s next that these don’t just seem an exercise in biding time. This is similar to Lazarus Planet, though the issues are smartly more centered around hero “families,” and it’s a darn sight better than Dark Nights: Death Metal’s interminable 12 tie-ins or Knight Terrors' 20 two-issue oft-disconnected miniseries. In comparison, Beast World Tour is night generous in its neat and tidiness.
