DC FIRST LOOK: Teen Titans: Starfire – Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo Return with a New Installment in Their Bestselling Young Adult Graphic Novel Series!

Available for Preorder Now, on Sale July 2, 2024

With their unique take on DC’s Teen Titans, writer Kami Garcia and artist Gabriel Picolo have created a series of entertaining and acclaimed graphic novels for young adult readers, including Teen Titans: Raven, Teen Titans: Beast Boy, Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven, and Teen Titans: Robin.

On July 2, summer fireworks start early for YA fans when DC launches Teen Titans: Starfire, the next installment in the graphic novel series by this dynamic duo of young adult storytellers.

“Working with Gabriel on the Teen Titans graphic novels is so much fun. He’s a massive talent and an incredible person,” said Garcia. “We’ve worked hard to give each Teen Titan a story that reflects not only who they are as a hero, but also who they are as a regular teenager. I can’t wait for readers to see what we’ve got in store for Starfire this summer!” 

Kori Anders’s summer job at a ritzy Santa Monica beach club is fun, but she doesn’t care about keeping up with the current trends and she’s not interested in rushing around to all the parties. She’d rather explore her inexplicable draw to the stars or hang out with her new friend, Victor Stone.

Her sister, Kira, on the other hand, is the most popular girl around. With the hottest clothes, an even hotter boyfriend (by the name of Tate Fairweather), and a take-no-prisoners attitude, she’s Kori’s opposite in every way. Their summer heats up when Tate’s uncle asks the girls to participate in an EDS study his pharmaceutical company is running. During treatment, Kori develops strange powers she never had before…and she might not be the only one.

Can Kori persuade her sister to trust her before it’s too late? And when a carload of teens with their own powers come looking for her to warn her about a creepy stalker, she’ll learn that trust is a two-way street!

This compelling story of adventure and discovery is underscored by Picolo’s incredible art, which has expanded his legion of social media fans since his DC debut with Garcia in 2019 on Teen Titans: Raven. “I have so much fun working with Kami on the Teen Titans graphic novels,” said Picolo. “We’ve developed a great creative rhythm over the years, and I really hope that current and new fans like what we’re putting together with Teen Titans: Starfire.”
