Picolo: One thing that I love is how different these two characters are, and their personalities are very different. It's rooted in friendship and respect for each other, and trying to support the other person, so that even if there was no real romantic relationship, at the end of the day, they are still friends. Garcia: The thing I like most is that their relationship is rooted in friendship. What do you love about this relationship between Beast Boy and Raven? Why are they such a great couple? I was like, "Let's see if that happens," and then great, Beast Boy got greenlit, and then I was like, "maybe Beast Boy Loves Raven is not that far fetched of an idea," so when I went with a greenlit Beast Boy, I was like, "This is definitely gonna happen."Ī key part of this book is their relationship and the romance between them. Picolo: I was afraid when I was drawing Raven that I was not going to get a second book, because that was my first published comic ever. They love the idea of that meeting, so it just seemed natural.

They love both of the origin stories for the individual characters. How did they me? What will it be like? And our editors, they loved it. We both love the ship of Beast Boy and Raven, so then we started talking about Beast Boy Loves Raven as a real idea, real thing. It's this amazing thing we created together, and now the readers have taken it over in a way that I love, and it's there still. This series for me is synonymous with Gabriel. It really feels like the universe is ours.

Kami Garcia: I mean, the only person I've collaborated with as long as Gabriel is my original best friend and writing partner Margaret Still on the Beautiful Creatures series. What's it like to have collaborated with each other for so many years now on Teen Titans? You've worked together on three books - with more stories to come by the looks of it. In honor of the third book's release, Garcia and Picolo sat with CBR for an exclusive interview about the new graphic novel, what this project means for them and what they hope for their Teen Titans in the future. While waiting for him, their paths cross, thus leading to a budding friendship and romance, but things are not as positive as they may hope, as new threats emerge. After the events of Teen Titans: Raven and Teen Titans: Beast Boy, these Titans are off to meet Slade, who's promised them that he has the answers they're looking for.
