BURBANK, CA (July 17, 2019) – DC announced today that TEEN TITANS: RAVEN, the smash-hit young adult graphic novel by New York Timesbest-selling author Kami Garcia (Beautiful Creatures) and superstar artist Gabriel Picolo is headed back to press for a second printing.
The second printing news comes after the book’s first week of sales catapulted TEEN TITANS: RAVEN to the #48 spot on USA Today’s Best-Selling Books list and became the #4 bestselling book on Publishers Weekly’s Children’s Frontlist Fiction list.

Lauded by Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Entertainment Weekly, Teen Vogue, Comicbook.com, and others, TEEN TITANS: RAVEN is the first installment of a multipart series from Garcia and Picolo that follows the coming-of-age journey of 17-year-old Rachel Roth. When a tragic accident takes the life of her foster mom—and Raven’s memory—she moves to New Orleans to live with her foster mother’s family. Raven remembers how to solve math equations and make pasta, but she can’t remember her favorite song or who she was before the accident. Her past and present begin to collide when more strange things happen during her final year of high school.
