Teen Titans Annual # 1 2009 NM-

Teen Titans Annual #1 (2009), released on April 1, 2009, serves as the essential prelude to the "Deathtrap" crossover event. Written by Sean McKeever with art by Fernando Dagnino, the issue features the Teen Titans' own headquarters, Titans Tower, mysteriously coming to life and turning its lethal security measures against the team. 

Plot Synopsis

• The Tower's Betrayal: The Teen Titans find themselves trapped inside a malfunctioning Titans Tower that is actively trying to kill them. This plot point is a recurring trope in Titan history, which the characters themselves acknowledge in the story.
• A Secret Weapon: As the team struggles to survive the tower's onslaught, they must rely on an "unknown secret weapon" that their assailant has failed to account for.
• Crossover Prelude: The events in this annual lead directly into the "Deathtrap" crossover storyline, which spans the pages of Teen Titans, Titans, and Vigillante. The narrative specifically continues in Titans #12.
• Character Highlights: Reviewers from ComicBookBin noted that while the team is large, the story provides significant moments for Static, who demonstrates his power, and Kid Devil, who pulls off a tactical surprise.
