FUCK YEAH ROSE WILSON

Hi, Anon!

If you’re already into Teen Titans and especially love Rose, then yes, I’d say buying those tpbs would be worthwhile. You love the series, the group, the girl… You’re considering taking the monetary plunge for a reason. I don’t see why they wouldn’t be worth your buck, especially if you want to have the cohesive TT story already laid out for you in the correct order (tpbs will add oneshots and connected issues for that story arc into the volume, saving you any confusion or need to track down extra issues, which is nice!).

That said, I think investing in a series of tpbs also depends on whether you’re a collector or not. It’s not at all cheap to invest in volumes of comics, for sure, but if you enjoy the feel of the paper and being able to take them out and about for an afternoon read—if that’s how you enjoy comics—then buy them; you probably won’t be fully happy until you do.

If you’re not, though, I’d suggest digitally finding individual Rose/TT issues of interest to you. It’s pretty much always cheaper that way and takes up no space in your bookshelf/longboxes/comics cabinet.

For myself, I dig collecting, and I prioritize owning physical copies of the issues/arcs I love. But!!! I find digital copies more useful for fandom and for quick reference, so for certain comics (featuring my favorite characters), I typically own two copies, physical and digital (sometimes three, because I’m a menace to myself).

Hi!

She’s featured heavily in the One Year Later Teen Titans v3 run (beginning with Johns and Daniel), and essentially the first four or so of those tps have plenty of Rose (especially since Joey returns). She’s associated/featured in basically all of the following TTv3 volumes in some way or fashion until the Terror Titans arc concludes, after which she leaves the team for a time (but shows up in Blackest Night, Titans Hunt, and then stars in Fresh Hell…).

I wouldn’t buy the whole Blackest Night collection for her two issues (it’s HUGE), but they’re really good issues. To help you out, I think there’s a tp for Blackest Night issues which contains Teen Titans/Titans characters specifically, though, and that might be worth checking out. I want to say I own it, even, somewhere in my filing cabinet, hah.

Titans Hunt isn’t a good story (why do writers hate Joseph Wilson?), but Rose does show up halfway through and provide some iconic comic book panels; it has a tp.

She also appears in later trades for Batgirl v3 (the one where Cassandra kicks her ass, a “training mission” of Slade’s, is worth a look), but I wouldn’t waste your time on the McKeever Batgirl/Ravager spinoff tp unless you’re bored and curious.

Titans: Cold Case is a long, one-off issue that I don’t… believe?… is collected in tp, but there’s a lot of Rose there, too. You might check to see if it’s ever been collected. Otherwise, she appears several times in Titans Spotlights, namely Cyborg’s. The art is pretty in that one, too; she and Cassie are a riot.

The Terror Titans collection itself is absolutely Rose-centric, but I’m personally not overly fond of the art/content of the story itself. Hey, but if you’re looking for a lot of Rose, I’d suggest at least having a look at it. It’s A LOT of Rose :]
