In the Dawn of DC era of DC Comics, the Titans have supplanted the Justice League as the publisher’s premiere superhero team. While the team has been together for a long time, being the much-loved incarnation of the Teen Titans, they’re about to face their biggest challenge yet. The Necrostar threatens to destroy all life on Earth, with the only person who can stop it being Titan’s member Beast Boy.

Comic book events like this can be confusing. With so many comics, core and tie-ins, it can be hard to know what to read and in what order. Luckily, the Titans: Beast World reading order is here to save the day. It has all the details needed to read this story, background reading, release dates, and more.

How to read Titans: Beast World and the tie-ins
Titans: Beast World operates like a traditional comic book event. There’s a core miniseries where the main story happens and several tie-ins. Most of the tie-ins come in the form of one-shots, but there are a few others, like the issues of Titans and a few back-up stories.
It’s required to read the tie-ins if you don’t want to. You can easily read Titans: Beast World #1-6 and get a full story. However, you can read the tie-ins to expand that story in other directions.
You can choose which tie-ins you read based on a number of factors. These include:
- How invested you are in Titans: Beast World
- Story scenarios
- The creators involved
- The characters involved
Honestly, it’s totally up to you if you read the tie-ins and how many you read.
